[05:49] <poningru> OH YEAH
[05:56] <Tosh> Hello
[05:57] <Tosh> I have a big interest in marketting and Ubuntu...just wondering if maybe I could share my ideas some times.
[05:58] <Tosh> I'll try back another time.
[05:58] <lotusleaf> Tosh: sure, check out the mailing list, too
[05:58] <Tosh> Oh, hi Lotus
[05:58] <lotusleaf> Tosh: this channel is logged as well, so people read comments =)
[05:58] <lotusleaf> Tosh: hi
[05:58] <Tosh> I figured as much
[05:59] <lotusleaf> Tosh: check out the marketing list @ ubuntu-marketing at lists.ubuntu.com
[05:59] <Tosh> ok
[06:00] <Tosh> Done and done.
[06:01] <lotusleaf> Tosh: drop a note in the mailing list with your interests in marketing ubuntu ;)
[06:03] <Tosh> And where exactly would I do that?
[06:03] <Tosh> Nevermind...
[06:03] <Tosh> Found it
[06:03] <lotusleaf> Tosh: it's a mailing list =)
[06:03] <lotusleaf> k
[06:04] <Tosh> I'll keep in touch :D
[06:04] <Tosh> Gotta go

[07:05] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: http://digg.com/linux_unix/OBEY_UBUNTU_Posters_print_your_own/who
[07:05] <Madpilot> hope the doc.ubuntu.com server is holding up to digg's kind attentions!
[07:05] <lotusleaf> minus the who part to see comments
[07:06] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: no doubt, my site's been handling it fine, despite lots of folks direct linking to the large png ;)
[07:06] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: in the forum thread ppl have been asking for larger resolutions, you may want to check the thread
[07:06] <Madpilot> will do
[07:06] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: I have no problems hosting any further good obey stuff you may have, as always just let me know
[07:06] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: and congrats! :)
[07:07] <Madpilot> I'm frankly amazed. These silly little posters seem to have grown legs...
[07:08] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: they're not just posters now, they are a movement :)
[07:08] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: and it begins with you =)
[07:08] <Madpilot> you're scaring me now... ;)
[07:08] <lotusleaf> lol
[07:17] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: from your post "I'll do a proper SVG & PNG inverted-colour version in the next few days - it would save a lot of ink." <- e-mail it to me when you're done, along with anything else, I'll keep that mirror updated as quick as I can with your obey work =)
[07:17] <Madpilot> will do
[07:17] <Madpilot> give me your email address again please?
[07:17] <lotusleaf> lotusleaf@tuxfamily.org
[07:17] <lotusleaf> thx
[07:17] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, your turn to be famous :
[07:18] <Madpilot> heh
[07:19] <lotusleaf> after it hit 28 diggs it took off from there
[07:21] <lotusleaf> tonyyarusso: indeed
[07:21] <lotusleaf> and the goetia demons get more props, lol
[07:25] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: just think, now tons of websites will now OBEY! UBUNTU with your artwork =)
[07:25] <Madpilot> viralness is fun
[07:25] <lotusleaf> I'll have to slap a small thumb of it on every page of my site with the redesign
[07:25] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: heheheh
 eerm KFC beat us all
[07:39] <lotusleaf> that gets me thinking
[07:39] <lotusleaf> re: the KFC ad seen from space thing
[07:39] <lotusleaf> how about a giant obey ubuntu ad? :P
[07:44] <tonyyarusso> lotusleaf: yipe's in SD - they have lots of space
[07:45] <lotusleaf> tonyyarusso: indeed. Why, can't you see it now? a circle of people joining hands and laughing up into the sky as they dance around in an ubuntu logo crop circle?
[07:46] <tonyyarusso> lotusleaf: Actually...kind of
[07:46] <lotusleaf> a huge obey poster would really show up good on google earth though, if placed ontop a field
[07:48] <Madpilot> There was a Firefox crop circle
[07:49] <tonyyarusso> whaa?  weird thing - http://transcended.org/ resolves to localhost
[07:49] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: ya? before or after the NYT ad?
[07:50] <Madpilot> lotusleaf, no idea of the timeframe; it was done in Oregon, I think, by a LUG. There's a huge photo gallery up somewhere.
[07:50] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: that rocks, I'll have to google it
[08:06] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: pop goes the server: "The requested URL /~marketing/DIY Material/Ubuntu_Posters_Roughcut/ was not found on this server." @ doc.ubuntu.com
[08:06] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: my mirror's still holding up well no probs yet =)
[08:06] <Madpilot> the marketing server gets rebuilt from bzr once a day, try it again in a bit
[08:06] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: oh yeah, forgot. ;P
[08:07] <lotusleaf> there we go
[08:07] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: someone suggested that you make the posse poster more grainy
[08:07] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: perhaps to coincide with the rough texture of the obey giant esque style
[08:08] <elkbuntu> the posse poster? show me show me show me
[08:08] <Madpilot> hmm. I'll think about it
[08:08] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: personally, I like it the way it is now
[08:08] <Madpilot> elkbuntu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296742
[08:09] <Madpilot> lotusleaf, yeah
[08:09] <lotusleaf> elkbuntu: http://lotusleafslinks.tuxfamily.org/obeyubuntu/ <-- bottom of the page
[08:09] <lotusleaf> elkbuntu: I didn't post the larger pic though cuz he's not finished =)
[08:09] <Madpilot> I think it's incredibly ironic that we're going to all this effort to reproduce mistakes that printers try not to make :)
[08:09] <lotusleaf> lol
[08:09] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: yeah well remember the ripped jeans fad, where people would buy new jeans and rip them?
[08:10] <Madpilot> or reproduce artifacts (like grain) that're traditionally the result of cheap printing processes
[08:10] <elkbuntu> haha nice
[08:10] <Madpilot> Levi's still sells pre-ripped/pre-faded jeans
[08:11] <Madpilot> Modern printing is so good we have to fake low quality :)
[08:11] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: they do? jeez
[08:13] <lotusleaf> I hope boingboing runs the obey ubuntu piece
[09:01] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: so will you be signing obey ubuntu posters? :)
[09:01] <lotusleaf> better get my autograph request in early
[09:01] <Madpilot> heh
[09:02] <popey> they are lovely pics
[09:12] <lotusleaf> Madpilot: someone posted an xubuntu one based on your design, last post in the obey thread
[09:12] <lotusleaf> that letter "x" looks finda fscked though, the rodent in the center isn't bad
[09:15] <Madpilot> the Ubuntu/Kubuntu text is from an actual font; I'll post a link to it tomorrow and add the link to the readme for the next update
[09:17] <lotusleaf> cool
[09:21] <klepas> the ol' Revel has shown himself as of late =\
[09:21] <klepas> :-(
[09:40] <jenda> true
[09:41] <jenda> he's prolly very busy.
[10:12] <jenda> Madpilot, nixternal woohoo, we are on our own ship now :)
[10:14] <Madpilot> jenda, were the three of us the only ones on one side of that netsplit?
[10:22] <jenda> no, not only three - there was corey, lophyte and a few others too, but I noticed you two first
[10:29] <jenda> yay...
