lotusleafI rolled the current posters into .zips, after discovering a lot of people direct linking to load the large .png on their site around the world. :P Added links to inkscape so the windows retar^H^h^h^h^h users know how to print them07:06
lotusleafsomeone said they shot out e-mails to some boingboing peeps, hoping it will make boingboing's frontpage, too, eventually.07:11
poningrulotusleaf: supposedly it will make it monday... but no guarentees07:11
lotusleafponingru: awesome, thx =)07:12
lotusleafponingru: hey, at least it made digg :)07:12
lotusleafbut boingboing has some slammin traffic07:12
poningruI think digg has more traffic than boingboing07:13
lotusleafponingru: really? a varied audience between them though I'd imagine07:13
poningrutrue07:13
lotusleafdoes digg have public traffic stats?07:14
poningruboingboing is more normal/artsy audience than digg07:14
poningruwhich is more techy imho07:14
lotusleafboingboing does via awstats link on their front page07:14
poningrunothing to back all of that up though07:14

Madpilotlotusleaf, can you handle ~150Kb of attachements to your email address? Got the 'SABDFL has a posse' done.07:24

Burgundaviabut then again, online polls usually show 60/40 KDE/GNOME07:42
elkbuntuyeah07:42
Madpilotthat's because KDE users are noisier ;)07:43

Burgundaviaelkbuntu: you should email all those hoary and warty users and warn them that they are running unsupported versions of Ubuntu07:49
elkbuntuhehe. tempting, but i'd rather not07:49
Burgundaviawhy not? I would consider it is a public service07:49
elkbuntuthat'd be like.. effort07:50
Burgundaviathen give me access to the db07:50
elkbuntucan i trust you with 10k email addresses?07:52

lotusleafan excellent idea08:43
poningruyeah and plaster campus with it08:43

poningruI really think that should replace the ubuntu buttons08:44
Madpilotlotusleaf, this is the font used on the roughcut posters: http://www.dafont.com/dirty-headline.font08:44
elkbuntuthe posse one would do good as a 10x10 sticker methinks08:45
lotusleafMadpilot: cool thx08:45
Madpilotthe font I used on the SABDFL one is called "Another", which is freakin' impossible to google for...08:45
poningruexactly08:45

elkbuntuMadpilot, are these non-copyrighted fonts?08:45
poningruMadpilot: uh... that site says free for personal usage08:46
lotusleafnow I can cover up the word microsoft when I see it with these stickers08:46

Admiral_Chicagoi think ubuntu should have an official site, instead of cafe freeprees or whatever is printing stuff09:23
Madpilotjenda, go for it. poningru did point out that there might be some licensing issue w/ the font I used on the roughcut posters, though. Give me a few days to check w/ the creator of that, or to redraw the posters09:23
jendaok, cool09:23
jendaBut do you think I could ask you to polish them a little bit? (I have a few suggestions)09:24
jenda(BTW - authors always get a few free prints)09:24

Madpilotjenda, suggest away!09:25

lotusleafMenZa: your're linked and credited on that page now :)09:25
jenda1) the little smudge you have in the logo...09:25

lotusleafMenZa: a beautiful design, btw09:25
Madpilotdamn... my landlord's crappy router seems to have tanked again - no DNS resolution...09:25
MenZathanks lotusleaf09:26
lotusleafMenZa: yw09:26
Madpilotjenda, the one that's identical all over?09:26
jendaThe font is really rugged etc., but the logo is white, and the only 'flaw' is 8 smudges - all exactly the same.09:26
Admiral_Chicagoit's really hard to switch from Paradise Lost to Ubunutu09:27
jendaMadpilot: So if you could achieve the same look the font has on the logo, it would look a _lot_ better, IMO :)09:27
jenda(logo & the thick white lines)09:27
Madpilotjenda, actually, I was thinking of going the opposite way - redrawing the text to be cleaner09:28
jendaok09:28
Admiral_Chicagono i think the lines should look more..worn09:28
Admiral_Chicagoi was jut about to do an edit to see how it would look09:28
jendabut - don't keep all the smudges the same :)09:28
=== jenda still thinks the font looks great.
lotusleafwhat about a tiny jendafish logo in the corner09:29
jenda:-D09:29
Madpilotlotusleaf, no, the tiny wirelizard doesn't need company ;)09:29
lotusleafMadpilot: :P09:29
Admiral_ChicagoMadpilot: do you think you can recreate the zip with the files in a folder?09:30
Madpilothaving all the smudges the same was a bit of a private joke; it amuses me to be going to so much effort to reproduce errors that printers try hard to get rid of09:30
MadpilotAdmiral_Chicago, I didn't actually build the zip, lotusleaf did09:30
lotusleafAdmiral_Chicago: paradise lost?09:30
Admiral_Chicagothe story by John Milton about the fall of the devil and Original Sin09:31
lotusleafAdmiral_Chicago: yeah, but Goetia is different =) you mean people read zip comments today? :P09:31
jendaMadpilot: ok - cool... and do you still want them to be that way? :)09:31
Admiral_ChicagoGoetia?09:32
lotusleafAdmiral_Chicago: #goetia09:32
Madpilotjenda, I'll keep fiddling with the images, might do more variation in the smudges09:32
jendaok, that would be cool :)09:32
jendaMadpilot: Next thing... what aboutthe thin white outline around the logo? What's it for? IMO, you sohuld either remove it, or add it to the text too.09:33
Madpilotif I end up re-drawing the text, I might09:34
jendaand on the left dot in the logo, teh line goes uninterupted around the entire dot - and doesn't look good. I'd make it more imperfect :)09:34
jendaok09:34
lotusleafjenda: you will, of course, be making black t-shirts as some have almost begged for in the forums, with this/these logo/s, right? :)09:42
jendayes :)09:42
jendaDo you think $10 is good price for a t-shirt?09:42
lotusleafjenda: /o/ hooray!09:42
lotusleafjenda: that's a delicious price09:43
jendaleally? cool :)09:43
lotusleafjenda: have you seen cafepress?09:43
lotusleafjenda: lots of sites charge at least $14 - 20 bux09:43
lotusleafjenda: if you can get a black t-shirt with the ubuntu roughcut logo on the back (and/or one including a tiny ubuntu logo on the front left breast) that would rock09:44
Admiral_Chicagojenda: perfectly reasonable09:45
lotusleafjenda: guess you could also run a poll on the forums with design ideas09:45
jendacool :)09:45
jendaI like the roughcut design so much I don't think I'll be doing a poll ;)09:46
lotusleafahhaah09:46

Admiral_Chicagoas a general rule, the more shirts you get, the more the cost of the screen is offset06:58
Admiral_Chicagoi handle printing for my karate school, i think it came out to about 7.50 a shirt06:59
jendayes, the cost of the screen / image manipulation and other processes independent on t-shirt number, is $4607:03
jendafor 50 shirts, it would be double per shirt, for 100 it's just 4607:04
Admiral_Chicagoyup07:04
Admiral_Chicagojenda: where are you doing this out of? like what's your country of origion07:05
jendaCzech Republic.07:05
Admiral_Chicagoah07:06
Admiral_Chicagohave you considered how shipping may fit in this?07:06
jendaand the printing itself gets cheaper when printing over 100 (about half, so I chose 100, will ask if that's enough for the discount)07:06
jendaassuming the t-shirt weighs less than 250 grams (half a pound) it will be $3.50 shipping globally07:06
jendaif it's over that, it'll be $5.5007:07
jendaWhich means, if I charge $15 including shipping, I'm very OK :)07:07
Admiral_Chicagoyou got it all figured out07:07
jendaI'd have the expenses covered at shirt #5307:07
