| Burgwork | nope, because work has been so nuts today | 12:27 |
| somerville32 | Are we going to send out UWN24 and 25 tonight? | 12:27 |
| Burgwork | 24 | 12:28 |
| somerville32 | 25 is almost ready | 12:28 |
| somerville32 | And is suppose to be shipped today | 12:28 |
| somerville32 | But I don't see a problem is delaying it | 12:28 |
| somerville32 | *in | 12:29 |
| Burgwork | yep | 12:29 |
| Burgwork | I don't mind shipping 24 tongith and 25 on friday and then 26 a week today | 12:29 |
| somerville32 | k, perfect. | 12:29 |
| somerville32 | Well, I've already started on 26. | 12:30 |
| somerville32 | I can't do too much more on 25 | 12:30 |
| Burgwork | ok, sorry for the delay | 12:30 |
| Burgwork | I should probably hand off more of the UWN | 12:30 |
| somerville32 | I dunno what there is to hand off | 12:31 |
| Burgwork | need to figure out a better method for the feisty thing | 12:31 |
| somerville32 | Mmm | 12:38 |
| somerville32 | jenda: Still up? | 12:44 |
| jenda | yeap | 12:44 |
| somerville32 | Jenda: Will you make me some Ubuntu business cards? <g> | 12:45 |
| jenda | hmm | 12:45 |
| jenda | somerville32: you know what... | 12:45 |
| jenda | that's not a bad idea... | 12:45 |
| somerville32 | :D | 12:45 |
| jenda | somerville32: find me 3 other people that would be interested, that'll make 5 of us. | 12:45 |
| somerville32 | Well, can you find out a price? | 12:46 |
| somerville32 | :] | 12:46 |
| jenda | with 200 cards apiece, we could get some serious discounting ;) | 12:46 |
| somerville32 | Woot! :D | 12:46 |
| jenda | I'll try. | 12:46 |
| === jenda has an evil, budget idea... | ||
| somerville32 | <g> | 12:46 |
| jenda | have the cards pre-printed on pre-lined A4 sheets... | 12:46 |
| === jenda takes a sheet of paper and measures... | ||
| === MitchM [n=MitchM@63.78.48.3] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||

| jenda | Is there a fixed size for cards, or can I change it a bit? :) | 12:48 |
| somerville32 | Unknown. | 12:48 |
| somerville32 | There is artwork already for it, you know | 12:48 |
| jenda | yes | 12:49 |
| jenda | but artwork size can be altered. | 12:49 |
| jenda | This could get _really_ cheap. | 12:49 |
| jenda | with decent quality ;) | 12:49 |
| somerville32 | Woot :] | 12:49 |
| jenda | got a piece of paper and a ruler? :) | 12:50 |
| somerville32 | Yup. | 12:50 |
| jenda | got centimiters on that ruler? :) | 12:51 |
| jenda | Try drawing a rectangle 7.4 4.3 | 12:54 |
| jenda | is that good enough for a card? | 12:54 |
| === MitchM_ [n=MitchM@63.78.48.5] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| jenda | Muhehe | 12:58 |
| jenda | I can fit 15 cards with dimensions 4.933 8 cm on an A4 sheet of paper. | 12:59 |
| jenda | somerville32? :) | 12:59 |
| jenda | My idea is, have 300 sheets of harder paper with those cards pre-carved out of it made by the printer. | 12:59 |
| === rrittenhouse [n=tad@cpe-76-188-35-66.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| jenda | and then either ship them blank to the person and email an .ods spreadsheet measured exactly for the printing (risky) or simply print out one's data on them. | 01:00 |
| jenda | somerville32: how much would you be willing to pay for 45 cards? | 01:01 |
| somerville32 | Hmm... | 01:07 |
| somerville32 | 6.75 USD? | 01:09 |
| jenda | noted | 01:11 |
| jenda | good. | 01:11 |
| jenda | that's plenty possible ;) | 01:11 |
| somerville32 | $5 would be a nice round fee <g> | 01:12 |
| jenda | hehe :) | 01:12 |
| jenda | I need some sort of margin, too. | 01:13 |
| somerville32 | I thought you were doing this out of the kindness of your Ubuntu heart! : O | 01:13 |
| somerville32 | Maybe $0.12 a card then plus $0.10 processing fee | 01:14 |
| somerville32 | So that would be $5.50 | 01:14 |
| somerville32 | And make sure it is the thick paper too | 01:14 |
| somerville32 | The good stuff | 01:14 |
| jenda | I'll have to get a quote on it first ;) | 01:15 |
| somerville32 | $0.10 processing fee for every 45 cards at $0.12 per card. | 01:15 |
| jenda | If I ended up 'processing' with scissors, the quality would go down rapidly, too. | 01:16 |
| somerville32 | hehe | 01:16 |
| jenda | So they need to be willing to pre-chop it up. | 01:16 |

| elkbuntu | cellofellow, inkscape sucks at doing odd too, so it's only fair ;) | 07:58 |
| cellofellow | :) good point. I just thought I just might find svg in OpenOffice scrolling through all of those supported file formats. sgv came up a bit, but not svg. | 08:00 |
| elkbuntu | cellofellow, what about ai or eps? | 08:00 |
| cellofellow | I don't think so. | 08:01 |

| Burgundavia__ | bleeding NM | 08:02 |
| cellofellow | inkscape can export to postscript with the print function. just put > /path/to/file.ps in the print dialog. | 08:03 |

| tonyyarusso | pitti: That is the proper page, it merely hasn't been made use of recently. However, you are the second person today with that question. Please add yours there, and I will try to clean up the page so that it is more obvious that it has a purpose. :) | 04:42 |
| tonyyarusso | Looks like we're starting to reach that critical mass of readership where we start getting input, which is awesome! | 04:42 |
| pitti | tonyyarusso: ah, great, thank you | 04:43 |
| pitti | tonyyarusso: in particular I wanted to add a pointer to 'new feature foo, please test' announcements | 04:43 |
| tonyyarusso | pitti: Oo, cool. | 04:43 |
| pitti | tonyyarusso: I sent them to ubuntu-devel@, I'm not sure whether you scan that list for news anyway or it's better to add it to Ideas | 04:44 |
| pitti | or, whether you want to get spammed with those kinds of announcements in the first place :) | 04:44 |
| tonyyarusso | pitti: We try to watch as much as we can, but as a general rule we'd be more likely to catch stuff on -devel-announce. | 04:44 |
| pitti | tonyyarusso: ah, I see; I'm not sure that new features are important enough for -announce | 04:44 |
| === tonyyarusso is on 20+ mailing lists :P | ||
| pitti | tonyyarusso: and since u-devel@ is now much less crowded, I decided for that | 04:45 |
| pitti | tonyyarusso: me too :/ | 04:45 |
| tonyyarusso | pitti: Maybe some sort of [UWN!!!] flag in the subject line? ;) | 04:45 |
| pitti | tonyyarusso: ok, if you prefer stuff on Ideas, then I just add a line with a pointer | 04:45 |
| pitti | tonyyarusso: [UWN] -> yay procmail :0 | 04:46 |
| pitti | :) even | 04:46 |
| tonyyarusso | pitti: ubuntu-marketing@ would also work, as well as dropping some kind of comment on Gobby | 04:46 |
| tonyyarusso | Or the wiki page, depending on the stage of editing | 04:46 |
| pitti | tonyyarusso: hm, I don't feel like destroying the current editing version; what would you prefer, CC'ing -marketing@ or adding to the Ideas wiki page? | 04:47 |
| tonyyarusso | pitti: atm, CC'ing -marketing is probably more effective, just b/c of the current state. I would like to get the Ideas page relevant again though, so if you throw it both places it will get both a) noticed, and b) help others realize it's a good spot | 04:49 |
| pitti | tonyyarusso: alright. thanks for the suggestions! | 04:49 |
| tonyyarusso | Thank you for the input! | 04:49 |

| tonyyarusso | seaLne: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Ideas | 05:16 |
| seaLne | i just had a look and it didn't seem to have been edited in a few months | 05:17 |
| seaLne | so i was thinking that wasn't the way now | 05:17 |
| tonyyarusso | seaLne: You're absolutely correct - but you're now the third person today with that type of question, so I hope to revive it :) It's just that we weren't really getting idea submissions, and were having to find stuff on our own. | 05:18 |
| tonyyarusso | This way is so much cooler :) | 05:18 |
| tonyyarusso | seaLne: You could also hit up the -marketing mailing list if you'd like | 05:18 |
| seaLne | ok added to wiki | 05:25 |

| beuno | 8| | 10:52 |
| beuno | not very fun... | 10:53 |
| jenda | Fortunately, I made 220 on the stuff. | 10:54 |
| jenda | so That leaves $190 for marketing :l | 10:54 |
| jenda | that sucks, a bit, but it still leaves something. | 10:54 |
| jenda | Lemme see if I lost anything on the euros. | 10:54 |
| beuno | selling what? | 10:58 |
| tsmithe | evening | 10:59 |
| jenda | posters and stickers | 10:59 |
| jenda | beuno: I don't consider the cash mine. | 11:00 |
| tsmithe | jenda, you're into currency trading too? | 11:00 |
| jenda | tsmithe: since y'all pay in USD, and I bought the stuff in CZK, what choice do I have? | 11:00 |
| tsmithe | oh | 11:00 |
| beuno | got it | 11:00 |
| tsmithe | i thought you were looking for a profit :) | 11:00 |
| tsmithe | i've gotta start doing that... | 11:00 |
| jenda | hehe | 11:01 |
| tsmithe | did i pay in usd? | 11:02 |
| jenda | tsmithe: I think the margin is a bit too low to interest you. | 11:02 |
| tsmithe | yeah | 11:02 |
| jenda | tsmithe: dunno, might've been euro. | 11:02 |
| === tsmithe thinks that as well | ||
| tsmithe | i think i paid in euros yeah... but not czk | 11:02 |
| jenda | I made them $190 on an investment of about $600 | 11:02 |
| tsmithe | cool | 11:02 |
| tsmithe | i'm sure if i waited long enough the dollar would go up to around 60. meaning about 5p in the pound profit... or 5% :) | 11:03 |
| jenda | I doubt it. | 11:03 |
| === anuragJ [i=anurag@59.92.45.127] has left #ubuntu-marketing ["Eating] | ||
| jenda | But someone did just gain my $30, somewhere :) | 11:03 |
| beuno | jenda, how does Ubuntu handle all this type of things? | 11:04 |
| jenda | beuno: it doesn't :) | 11:04 |
| beuno | We want to make posters and tshirts and all that to sell here | 11:04 |
| jenda | that's where the DIY project comes in. | 11:04 |
| jenda | Do It Yourself | 11:04 |
| beuno | but I'm not sure if that's going to conflict somehow | 11:04 |
| jenda | All finances are private. | 11:04 |
| jenda | Not at all, it's exactly what I want you to do :) | 11:04 |
| beuno | really? | 11:05 |
| beuno | that would be a good way to finance the LoCo... | 11:05 |
| jenda | And Canonical seems to support it, at least quietly, in a way. | 11:05 |
| jenda | yes, you can do that. | 11:05 |
| beuno | oh, cause I know Mozilla doesn't | 11:05 |
| jenda | Just make sure you're being transparent about it. | 11:05 |
| jenda | I will publish all my finances on the DIY site once it's done. | 11:05 |
| === beuno goes and starts writing the proposal | ||
| === ompaul [n=ompaul@gnewsense/friend/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| jenda | beuno: what's your primary language? | 11:05 |
| beuno | spanish | 11:06 |
| jenda | wooo | 11:06 |
| jenda | And would you be interested in making and selling spanish posters? | 11:06 |
| beuno | absolutely | 11:06 |
| beuno | I can finance some of it myself to get it started | 11:06 |
| beuno | in fact... | 11:06 |
| beuno | I have a branch in spain (I'm in argentina) so maybe I can distribute them there too... | 11:07 |
| tsmithe | i could do english posters :) | 11:07 |
| === tsmithe jests | ||
| jenda | meh | 11:09 |
| jenda | $148, it looks like :( | 11:09 |
| jenda | a few more payments might come in, I s'pose, but not budging much from there. | 11:10 |
| jenda | It's still cash, though :) | 11:10 |
| tsmithe | (to the side) who's he talking to? | 11:10 |
| tsmithe | hi jenda :) | 11:10 |
| beuno | jenda, so how can I help with this? | 11:11 |
| jenda | get the swag design from doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing | 11:11 |
| jenda | redesign it for spanish... | 11:11 |
| jenda | get it printed... | 11:11 |
| jenda | sell. | 11:11 |
| jenda | you can keep the money. | 11:11 |
| tsmithe | $$$ | 11:11 |
| beuno | lol | 11:12 |
| jenda | If you use it for the locoteam... that's perfect :) | 11:12 |
| beuno | where can I send the redesign so others con use it? | 11:12 |
| jenda | I used it to pay for ubuntuforums.org vBulletin license and DNS hosting for next year :) | 11:12 |
| jenda | and I still have those $$ left for marketing. | 11:12 |
| jenda | beuno: me :) | 11:12 |
| jenda | I'll upload them there. | 11:12 |
| beuno | cool | 11:13 |
| jenda | And it'll all be on the DIY website, eventually. | 11:13 |
| beuno | great | 11:13 |
| jenda | (BTW, anyone can upload them once they join the marketing team in launchpad) | 11:13 |
| beuno | I'm starting to get an idea of how this works | 11:13 |
| tsmithe | jenda, i know | 11:13 |
| jenda | beuno: feel free to do anything with english text, too. | 11:13 |
| tsmithe | when i have something to upload, i'll go | 11:13 |
| beuno | I've been in the launchpam MT for a while now | 11:13 |
| tsmithe | "wow! that's so cool!" | 11:13 |
| beuno | Martin Albisetti | 11:13 |
| jenda | cool | 11:14 |
| jenda | beuno: next step, learn bzr :) | 11:14 |
| jenda | and ssh | 11:14 |
| beuno | yes, I've been fighting with it all day | 11:14 |
| beuno | ssh and stuff I can do | 11:14 |
| beuno | I manage a few linux servers | 11:14 |
| beuno | so I know my way around the console | 11:14 |
| jenda | cool ;) | 11:14 |
| beuno | much better then the GUI ;D | 11:14 |
| tsmithe | fo sho | 11:14 |
| jenda | Well, unless you become a massproducing swag-spewing machine, you don't really have to worry about it :) | 11:15 |
| jenda | Dan and I can do it ;) | 11:15 |
| beuno | well, I'm gonno run this by the LoCo members and see what they think | 11:15 |
| beuno | yeah, that would be great at first | 11:15 |
| beuno | until I can understand how it works well enough not to break anything | 11:16 |
| jenda | beuno: BTW, once you have it ready, fill me in on the details... | 11:16 |
| tsmithe | and me | 11:16 |
| tsmithe | i wanna be up to date on all the goss | 11:16 |
| jenda | beuno: it's possible that printing here and the entire pack to you would be cheaper than printing there ;) | 11:16 |
| beuno | you think so? | 11:16 |
| tsmithe | more likely than not | 11:16 |
| beuno | maybe it will be the other way around | 11:17 |
| tsmithe | hes in czechorepublic | 11:17 |
| jenda | beuno: If, however, anyone in the LoCo owns a printer.... ;) | 11:17 |
| beuno | I'm in Argentina | 11:17 |
| jenda | Shouldn't matter - we can compare the prices anyway. | 11:17 |
| jenda | ;) | 11:17 |
| beuno | yeah | 11:17 |
| beuno | well | 11:17 |
| beuno | let's see | 11:17 |
| beuno | I made tshirts a while back with text on em for 4.5 us dollars | 11:18 |
| beuno | per tshirt | 11:18 |
| jenda | but what quality? | 11:18 |
| jenda | (BTW, that's very cheap ;)) | 11:18 |
| beuno | pretty good, I've washed the one I used over 30 times and still is perfect | 11:18 |
| beuno | yeah, Argentina ir really cheap right now | 11:18 |
| beuno | is | 11:18 |
| jenda | Yeah, Argentina is a good country for this too :) | 11:18 |
| jenda | (BTW, shipping prices are an issue too) | 11:19 |
| beuno | yes | 11:19 |
| beuno | that's a different story | 11:19 |
| jenda | shipping a shirt from here costs cca $4 | 11:19 |
| jenda | anywhere | 11:19 |
| jenda | par avion ;) | 11:19 |
| tsmithe | beuno, that's an amazing price | 11:19 |
| tsmithe | here it's more like 5 | 11:19 |
| tsmithe | so 8$ | 11:19 |
| beuno | yeap | 11:20 |
| beuno | and I only made 50 | 11:20 |
| tsmithe | wow | 11:20 |
| beuno | I guess the price lowers | 11:20 |
| tsmithe | that was for 100 | 11:20 |
| beuno | for more | 11:20 |
| tsmithe | indeedy | 11:20 |
| beuno | it was the classic "no, I won't fix your computer" one | 11:20 |

| jenda | Polo shirts, too. | 11:21 |
| beuno | oh, REALLY high quality | 11:21 |
| jenda | well, quality that'll make you wear it because it's a t-shirt, not because it has Ubuntu on it :) | 11:22 |
| beuno | it's a good angle | 11:22 |
| === tsmithe likes a decent shirt | ||

| tsmithe | hmm | 11:26 |
| tsmithe | i'll just go talk to a scarecrow | 11:26 |

| jenda | I do keyboard layouts :/ | 11:27 |
| jenda | it makes my life difficult :) | 11:27 |
| tsmithe | :) | 11:27 |
| tsmithe | qwerty | 11:27 |
| tsmithe | right next to e | 11:27 |
| tsmithe | but how do you mean "do"? | 11:27 |
| jenda | I use my own customised dvorakish layout. | 11:28 |
| jenda | And I'm working on a full Czech dvorak layout. | 11:28 |
| jenda | Totally impossible task :/ | 11:28 |
| jenda | and I'm also trying to make the 21st century Czech keyboard, which expects you to type English quite often as well as Czech. | 11:29 |
| jenda | W is very common in E | 11:29 |
| jenda | NEVER used in C | 11:29 |
| jenda | :/ | 11:29 |
| jenda | as are FG and Q. | 11:29 |
| tsmithe | awk | 11:30 |
| tsmithe | that's a lot of hacking you'd have to do | 11:30 |
| tsmithe | i hate having to do accents and umlauts | 11:30 |

| tsmithe | they're a rubbish medium anyway | 11:31 |
| jenda | hehe | 11:31 |
| jenda | not if you set them up right :) | 11:31 |
| tsmithe | really? | 11:32 |
| tsmithe | how can i do it | 11:32 |
| jenda | use xmodmap :) | 11:32 |
| jenda | man xmodmap | 11:33 |
| jenda | and: | 11:33 |
| jenda | nano /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.<languagecode> | 11:33 |
| tsmithe | huh does that help with accents? | 11:33 |
| tsmithe | really? | 11:33 |
| tsmithe | how? | 11:33 |
| tsmithe | hmm | 11:33 |
| tsmithe | i use it for multimedia keys | 11:34 |
| jenda | it's quite tough to master, really ;) | 11:34 |
| tsmithe | i know | 11:34 |
| tsmithe | that's why i stopped there | 11:34 |
