[12:15] where are they out? === jenda isn't a gamer. [12:16] can you install linux on it? === jenda is installing a mandriva 2007 on his lappy [12:17] I got it a lot earlier than it get 'out there' from the source :) [12:17] not mandriva! it always annoyed me [12:35] oops it seems to have screwed up my PC good :) [12:36] lol [12:38] yes :) ubuntu boots... [12:39] although there is something wrong with my /home [12:40] here is /me from my Ubuntu to prove it :) [12:42] did you try share a /home? [12:43] yes :) [12:43] using the same DE? [12:43] is that illegal? [12:43] yep [12:43] no.. but afaik, mandriva and ubuntu do things slightly different ;) [12:43] Gnome [12:43] indeed :) [12:44] wooo it's fun being jenda from two PCs at once. I say somethnig here, and on the other one it looks as if I said it there :) [12:44] hehe [12:44] and now it even beeped, as I said my name :) [12:45] neat - it's also a way to be connected to ICQ from two spots. === macluvjay [n=jthigpen@fltavth-16-104.fusionbroadband.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [01:05] attempt 2 [01:10] jenda, for the tshirts, i'd advise taking orders until you get a certain number then having the shirts done. that way you order # x Small, # x Medium, # x Large, # x XL and so forth [01:11] hmm [01:11] i dont think you'll have any problem finding 50 something people wanting an OBEY shirt [01:11] Good idea. will do. [01:12] and you can always do a round 2 [01:12] 100 [01:12] 100 is the number to get bulk discount. [01:13] attempt #3 :) brb [01:13] well, brb is an overstatement, I, the server, am still around :) [01:14] SUCCESS :) [01:15] hehe [01:17] you might end up needing to do a batch of the posse ones too === red_herr1ng [n=rj@c-67-162-70-40.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === macluvjay [n=jthigpen@fltavth-16-104.fusionbroadband.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === red_herrIng [n=rj@c-67-162-70-40.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rexbron [n=rexbron@199.212.72.37] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === FreddyM [n=Freddy@74.39.212.101] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@d235-240-148.home1.cgocable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === red_herrIng [n=rj@c-67-162-70-40.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === lotusleaf [n=lotuslea@kernel-panic/member/carne.asada.burrito] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [06:06] darn, no boingboing post about those posters today ;( === FreddyM [n=Freddy@st074039212101.monm.edu] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === FreddyM [n=freddy@74.39.212.101] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Admiral_Chicago [n=Freddy@st074039212101.monm.edu] has left #ubuntu-marketing [] === red_herrIng is now known as rED_HErrING|ZZZZ === Burgundavia [n=corey@S0106000fb085cc63.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === klepas [n=klepas@203-213-31-142.static.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rjian [n=Infinitu@203.111.235.139] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === lloydinho [n=andreas@rosinante.egmont-kol.dk] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@d235-240-148.home1.cgocable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === xopher [n=xopher@unaffiliated/xopher] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [10:42] http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4646261136.html [10:43] Yet Another SABDFL Interview [10:43] r0x0r thx === tonyyarusso wonders what we would have to do to get him interviewed outside of tech news [11:09] I'm thinking BBC [11:12] tonyyarusso: you know, I've been wondering that, too. I noticed the media relations area is still not fleshed out in the marketing area [11:12] lotusleaf: Yeah, we're a bit lacking there [11:12] tonyyarusso: I think snail mail and/or phone calls should be made [11:12] I'd love to have some really solid stuff to send to local news, b/c I'm not the best person to write those [11:13] I wrote up a little press release for Dapper, but it could probably be made to sound a lot better [11:14] that's cool, I hope this area of marketing develops [11:14] Another place I think would be awesome: The Daily Show [11:14] yup [11:14] It's got just the audience [11:15] Young, in tune with current events, willing to try new things, and generally intelligent [11:15] that would be something to propose on the mailing list for sure [11:16] What do you think would be the way to approach it? Ask everyone on the mailing list to send letters requesting them? [11:16] its a good start [11:17] I'll see if I can whip up something for people to work from this weekend, and send something out [11:19] best idea is to construct a list of vulnerable newsgroups to focus on [11:22] Such as?

[04:36] great [04:36] jenda: you rolling out t-shirts now? [04:37] I don't think it should make a difference, as long as their supplier makes the right color (brown) [04:37] lotusleaf: nah, what makes you think so? [04:37] The fun part is that I don't have enough money for the project :) [04:37] I may be late to the party, but I really like the t-shirts, jenda [04:37] damn, macluvjay, you gave me away.

[04:44] the printer won't be happy :) [04:45] haha, well just go with what the majority want [04:45] minimum order amount: [04:45] 1 t-shirt [04:45] after all, those of us who want it bad enough can make our own shirts [04:45] for EVERYONE! [04:45] haha nice min amt ;) [04:45] in the WORLD! [04:45] true :) [04:45] hehe, that would be quite a business. [04:45] jenda: tiny jendafish logo at the seams? [04:45] It would remind me of Microsoft too much, though. [04:46] nah :) [04:46] the Ubuntu logo is enough...

[09:50] hm? [09:50] as in, you are too lazy to type properly and write the beginning of the word, press tab, and expect the rest to pop up? [09:51] i do that [09:51] especially with long words [09:51] it makes me feel stupid... but i wish it worked ;) [09:51] i'd like to invent that [09:51] or take the easy way out [09:52] which is? [09:52] and spawn 1000 irc clients to connect ot freenode and join all the channels, all having nicks of long words i like to autocomplete [09:52] lol === rED_HErrING is full of amazing ideas [09:52] they'd ban the ip [09:52] tsmithe: yes, that happens all the time, the thing is it didn't strike me that md didn't gimme a mdke. [09:52] ah [09:52] rED_HErrING: I think no more than 20 or so from the same IP would be allowed. [09:52] maybe not even that. [09:52] jenda: yeah... we found that out the hard way [09:53] === rED_HErrING had a bot that would clone itself... we abused it till lilo came in to shut us up [09:53] so... pneumonultrasilicovolcanoconiosis, and antidisestablishmentarianism ... words which i use *so* frequently [09:53] i didnt know who lilo was at the time... so i was kinda insulting him :-\ [09:53] damn i got it wrong [09:53] jenda: I found you can't join more than 20 chans with the same client either [09:53] *pneumonultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis [09:54] tonyyarusso, that's crazy! [09:54] tsmithe: did you just sneeze? [09:54] don't think so [09:54] tonyyarusso: i think thats *your* client === tsmithe looks around [09:54] Who is "PhilipSeyfi"?

[09:55] tonyyarusso: gimmie 20 channels then [09:55] tsmithe: are you kidding? [09:55] no [09:55] who? [09:55] Oh no, you are right - it's a channel limit on freenode, tonyyarusso [09:55] rED_HErrING: ubuntu-*, check the wiki for the list [09:55] tsmithe: hes teh head of freenode... well he was [09:55] lol [09:55] HaHA! === tonyyarusso wins [09:55] rED_HErrING, that must have been cyberembarrassing [09:55] tsmithe: he has tragically passed away a few weeks ago :( [09:56] :'( [09:56] can i be the new head?

[09:57] tsmithe: there ain't none other. [09:57] tsmithe: not that one. [09:57] damn [09:57] i want to go back in time [09:57] what is "whoising"? [09:57] jenda: Share the knowledge? [09:57] i understand "whois" [09:57] did it. [09:58] If "PhilipSeyfi" doesn't contact me very soon, I'll consider it rude. :/ Added himself to the spreadubuntu project on the wiki :) [09:58] tsmithe: A bad verbing [09:58] tonyyarusso: im in 20 channels now [09:58] tonyyarusso: you gotta beg real bad :) [09:58] jenda: hehe [09:58] and theres the 21st [09:58] tonyyarusso: you lose. [09:58] no... how do i do irc whois? [09:58] and beg and beg and beg and beg, and reason, and beg, and then you might get it :) [09:58] tsmithe: try /whois tsmithe [09:58] rED_HErrING: no way [09:58] does nothing [09:59] channels : ##chicago ##unavailable @#gentoo-offtopic #debian-offtopic #gentoo #debian #xubuntu-offtopic #xubuntu [09:59] #kubuntu #ubuntu-offtopic #ubuntu #freenode-social #kubuntu-offtopic #ubuntu-marketing #roflcopter [09:59] #ubuntu-education +#imagi-nation #chicago #ubuntu-chicago #zomfg [09:59] that's 20 [09:59] yeah [09:59] try one more :) [09:59] damn [09:59] k [09:59] jenda: Well, I'm not very good at begging, but the reason is that I have a server collecting statistics on Ubuntu IRC channels (http://www.tonyyarusso.is-a-geek.com/), and currently have to pick and choose the channels I have it do, since I can't fit them all within the limit. [09:59] whoah [10:00] you're right [10:00] tonyyarusso: well, then beg :) [10:00] 14:59 -!- Cannot join to channel #ubuntu+1 (You have joined to too many channels) === tonyyarusso beggedy begs [10:00] you can start at nalioth, but do _not_ mention my name :-D [10:00] haha [10:00] Whose name? [10:00] why is he begging? [10:00] tonyyarusso: yeah, him :) [10:00] The one playing first? [10:00] tsmithe: wants the extended channels mode :) [10:00] oh... [10:01] why can't he mention you? [10:01] i would ;) [10:01] phew cut it down to 9 again [10:01] Because he's on third, and we don't know him. [10:01] because at the time I asked for it, I wasn't supposed to talk about it. [10:01] Although now it's a bit different. [10:01] ah [10:01] ah [10:01] Back then, I had to be a 'flagged staff member' to achieve the effect. [10:01] jenda: Some sort of feature pilot? [10:01] It also took a lot more begging :) [10:02] nah, staff have had it since the start. [10:02] so how much do you guys *actually* talk about ubuntu and marketing here? [10:02] not much [10:02] sweet. ill fit right in. [10:02] coolio [10:02] i think we should paint an ubuntu logo on the atlantic ocean. [10:03] now how would that work? [10:03] tsmithe: it woudlnt. [10:03] it would just BE [10:03] great [10:03] rED_HErrING: We did last night, but it varies [10:03] yup! [10:03] tonyyarusso: gotcha [10:03] i could gimp a logo onto the ocean... [10:03] rED_HErrING: You could use phosporescent algae [10:03] Make it show up at night [10:03] tonyyarusso: any idea where to get.... oh say 1 trillion tons of that? [10:04] ask the whales? [10:04] rED_HErrING: Just collect a small sample and start culturing [10:04] the whales! [10:04] tonyyarusso: k, should i start now? [10:04] rED_HErrING: Most likely [10:04] wow... where did you get the algae? i dont have any lying around [10:04] You might want to install a pool or buy a local lake as a start [10:05] and fill it with sugar [10:05] oh... and water [10:05] tonyyarusso: i got an inflatable one [10:05] no, i got a better idea. Brown red and orange mushroom clouds!! [10:05] Another option is that you could just inject GFP genes into a significant portion of the population near where you want it, and let them do the work naturally [10:05] gfp? [10:05] rED_HErrING: We need three cities in a triangular pattern [10:05] he meant .svg genes. [10:06] tsmithe: Green flourescent protein [10:06] ah [10:06] We injected it into little creatures in my high school biotech class and made 'em glow [10:06] was cool [10:06] tonyyarusso: k, europe or US [10:06] Wow! [10:06] wow! [10:06] That seifip guy who joined spreadubuntu is Czech. [10:06] wow! [10:06] neat. [10:06] Might help out. [10:06] rED_HErrING: Clearly US - we deserve some payback for our idiocy. Just only hit red states [10:07] tonyyarusso: Texas. [10:07] its got a nice brown background already [10:07] jenda: lol... the german assistant at my school speaks czech... she doesnt understand our humour [10:07] hehe :) [10:07] fair tradeoff, I guess. [10:07] she said she'll have to get used to it before she watches borat === tonyyarusso wonders if this convo should stop to avoid me being questioned when I try to cross the border back into the US next month.... [10:07] tonyyarusso: not likely [10:07] tonyyarusso: the cops dont care about my little hacking incident a few months ago [10:08] in fact they laughed [10:08] jenda, i think she hates us... we laugh, and she doesnt get it [10:08] tonyyarusso: as long as you dont look arab you're in teh clear [10:08] and if you're a middle age white woman you can carry knives on planes! [10:08] (sad but true) [10:09] holy crap - 35 responses to the bug report I submitted last night [10:09] now... what was SpreadUbuntu... sounds interesting... am i on it? [10:09] !bug ? [10:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about bug ? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi [10:09] rED_HErrING: This is true - I'm a 20-something white male, so I'm fine [10:09] bug #1 [10:09] wait that's ubugtu [10:09] ubuntu 1 [10:09] i really need to start bugfixing [10:09] ubuntu #1 === rED_HErrING sticks to the first bug [10:09] argh... [10:09] I think you just mention bug #1 [10:09] i'm confused [10:09] i got a question bout launchpad and bugfixing [10:09] But Ubugtu isn't joined to this channel [10:09] i know [10:10] rED_HErrING: this is not really the place... [10:10] @bug is what i wanted [10:10] should i just.... submit what i think are bugs or should i really figure out it before id o? [10:10] tonyyarusso: good point :) [10:10] jenda: just a general question [10:10] rED_HErrING, do that [10:10] do research beforehand so it's not vague however [10:10] rED_HErrING: really figure out, and this chan ain't for general questions :) [10:10] lol [10:10] it is for algae though [10:10] obviously [10:11] whats the channelf or bugs? [10:11] -bugs [10:11] my text box disappeared... [10:11] i cant remember the conversation now! [10:11] rED_HErrING: #ubuntu-bugs [10:11] but I'm not sure if it's the chan to actually report them in.
