[12:28] 24 [12:28] 25 is almost ready [12:28] And is suppose to be shipped today [12:28] But I don't see a problem is delaying it [12:29] *in [12:29] yep [12:29] I don't mind shipping 24 tongith and 25 on friday and then 26 a week today [12:29] k, perfect. [12:30] Well, I've already started on 26. [12:30] I can't do too much more on 25 [12:30] ok, sorry for the delay [12:30] I should probably hand off more of the UWN [12:31] I dunno what there is to hand off [12:31] need to figure out a better method for the feisty thing [12:38] Mmm [12:44] jenda: Still up? [12:44] yeap [12:45] Jenda: Will you make me some Ubuntu business cards? [12:45] hmm [12:45] somerville32: you know what... [12:45] that's not a bad idea... [12:45] :D [12:45] somerville32: find me 3 other people that would be interested, that'll make 5 of us. [12:46] Well, can you find out a price? [12:46] :] [12:46] with 200 cards apiece, we could get some serious discounting ;) [12:46] Woot! :D [12:46] I'll try. === jenda has an evil, budget idea... [12:46] [12:46] have the cards pre-printed on pre-lined A4 sheets... === jenda takes a sheet of paper and measures... === MitchM [n=MitchM@63.78.48.3] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === jenda compares [12:48] Is there a fixed size for cards, or can I change it a bit? :) [12:48] Unknown. [12:48] There is artwork already for it, you know [12:49] yes [12:49] but artwork size can be altered. [12:49] This could get _really_ cheap. [12:49] with decent quality ;) [12:49] Woot :] [12:50] got a piece of paper and a ruler? :) [12:50] Yup. [12:51] got centimiters on that ruler? :) [12:54] Try drawing a rectangle 7.4 4.3 [12:54] is that good enough for a card? === MitchM_ [n=MitchM@63.78.48.5] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [12:58] Muhehe [12:59] I can fit 15 cards with dimensions 4.933 8 cm on an A4 sheet of paper. [12:59] somerville32? :) [12:59] My idea is, have 300 sheets of harder paper with those cards pre-carved out of it made by the printer. === rrittenhouse [n=tad@cpe-76-188-35-66.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [01:00] 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. [01:01] somerville32: how much would you be willing to pay for 45 cards? [01:07] Hmm... [01:09] 6.75 USD? [01:11] noted [01:11] good. [01:11] that's plenty possible ;) [01:12] $5 would be a nice round fee [01:12] hehe :) [01:13] I need some sort of margin, too. [01:13] I thought you were doing this out of the kindness of your Ubuntu heart! : O [01:14] Maybe $0.12 a card then plus $0.10 processing fee [01:14] So that would be $5.50 [01:14] And make sure it is the thick paper too [01:14] The good stuff [01:15] I'll have to get a quote on it first ;) [01:15] $0.10 processing fee for every 45 cards at $0.12 per card. [01:16] If I ended up 'processing' with scissors, the quality would go down rapidly, too. [01:16] hehe [01:16] So they need to be willing to pre-chop it up. === rjian [n=chatzill@203.111.235.139] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === anuragJ [n=anurag@59.92.58.59] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === anurag_ [n=anurag@59.92.40.204] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rjian [n=chatzill@203.111.235.139] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === theCore [n=alex@unaffiliated/thecore] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rexbron [n=rexbron@CPE001310b2d1d1-CM0012256e816a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rexbron_ [n=rexbron@CPE001310b2d1d1-CM0012256e816a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rjian [n=chatzill@203.111.235.139] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@d235-240-148.home1.cgocable.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rjian [n=chatzill@203.111.235.139] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === cellofellow [n=josh@geek-217.69-71-160-0.qwest.dsl.vcn.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === adfa [n=rjian_se@203.111.235.139] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === adfa is now known as rjian === adfa [n=rjian_se@203.111.235.139] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === adfa is now known as rjian [06:54] somerville32: ping [06:54] pong [06:55] http://cellofellow.homelinux.net/ubuntu/ubuntu-leaflet-p1_cellofellow-xubuntu.svg === cellofellow can here his server making noise as cody downloads his page [06:57] lol [06:57] it's a noisy little machine === somerville32 is still connecting.

[07:20] You can add svg capability to gimp [07:20] gimp-svg I think [07:20] !gimp-svg [07:20] gimp-svg: SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) plugin for The GIMP. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.13-1ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 62 kB, installed size 128 kB [07:20] better just to use Inkscape somerville32 [07:20] how hard is it to get on the same page with a document?

[07:27] inkscape should just do pdf [07:27] ok [07:28] why doesn't OpenOffice do SVG? it's a standard XML format like ODD. [07:28] OpenDocument Drawing [07:30] I can't find a PDF export in Inkscape.

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] cellofellow, what about ai or eps? [08:01] I don't think so. [08:01] postscript? [08:02] I didn't look for that. [08:02] It might be there. [08:02] it should be fine so long as you dont have transparency [08:02] bleeding NM [08:03] inkscape can export to postscript with the print function. just put > /path/to/file.ps in the print dialog. [08:03] heheh [08:03] cellofellow, i know it can, but it fails with alpha [08:03] I see. [08:04] turning ps to pdf is easy right? === rjian [n=chatzill@203.111.235.139] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [08:07] cellofellow: inkscape will do pdf export [08:07] how? I just can't get it to work right now. [08:09] which version do you have?

[08:12] that's my real problem, user-dunceness [08:12] ah [08:12] file it in Lp [08:13] not filing bugs, printing pdf's. If it can, how do I do it? [08:13] ah [08:14] cellofellow: save as PDF [08:15] ok === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [08:18] inkscape exported pdf for me last night quite happily [08:18] :] [08:21] I just tried that and it looked nasty. All the text got rendered as bitmap instead of fonts. [08:21] never mind found that option [08:22] but now all the text is gone. :( this isn't working out too well [08:23] pdf export is not optimal [08:24] Is there a way to just print to pdf?

It seems that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Ideas is obsolete; where to send suggestions to? [04:42] 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] Looks like we're starting to reach that critical mass of readership where we start getting input, which is awesome! [04:43] tonyyarusso: ah, great, thank you [04:43] tonyyarusso: in particular I wanted to add a pointer to 'new feature foo, please test' announcements [04:43] pitti: Oo, cool. [04:44] 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] or, whether you want to get spammed with those kinds of announcements in the first place :) [04:44] 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] tonyyarusso: ah, I see; I'm not sure that new features are important enough for -announce === tonyyarusso is on 20+ mailing lists :P [04:45] tonyyarusso: and since u-devel@ is now much less crowded, I decided for that [04:45] tonyyarusso: me too :/ [04:45] pitti: Maybe some sort of [UWN!!!] flag in the subject line? ;) [04:45] tonyyarusso: ok, if you prefer stuff on Ideas, then I just add a line with a pointer [04:46] tonyyarusso: [UWN] -> yay procmail :0 [04:46] :) even [04:46] pitti: ubuntu-marketing@ would also work, as well as dropping some kind of comment on Gobby [04:46] Or the wiki page, depending on the stage of editing [04:47] 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? [04:49] 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] tonyyarusso: alright. thanks for the suggestions!

[11:00] oh [11:00] got it [11:00] i thought you were looking for a profit :) [11:00] i've gotta start doing that... [11:01] hehe [11:02] did i pay in usd? [11:02] tsmithe: I think the margin is a bit too low to interest you. [11:02] yeah [11:02] tsmithe: dunno, might've been euro. === tsmithe thinks that as well [11:02] i think i paid in euros yeah... but not czk [11:02] I made them $190 on an investment of about $600 [11:02] cool [11:03] 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] I doubt it. === anuragJ [i=anurag@59.92.45.127] has left #ubuntu-marketing ["Eating] [11:03] But someone did just gain my $30, somewhere :) [11:04] jenda, how does Ubuntu handle all this type of things? [11:04] beuno: it doesn't :) [11:04] We want to make posters and tshirts and all that to sell here [11:04] that's where the DIY project comes in. [11:04] Do It Yourself [11:04] but I'm not sure if that's going to conflict somehow [11:04] All finances are private. [11:04] Not at all, it's exactly what I want you to do :) [11:05] really? [11:05] that would be a good way to finance the LoCo... [11:05] And Canonical seems to support it, at least quietly, in a way. [11:05] yes, you can do that. [11:05] oh, cause I know Mozilla doesn't [11:05] Just make sure you're being transparent about it. [11:05] I will publish all my finances on the DIY site once it's done. === beuno goes and starts writing the proposal === ompaul [n=ompaul@gnewsense/friend/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:05] beuno: what's your primary language? [11:06] spanish [11:06] wooo [11:06] And would you be interested in making and selling spanish posters? [11:06] absolutely [11:06] I can finance some of it myself to get it started [11:06] in fact... [11:07] I have a branch in spain (I'm in argentina) so maybe I can distribute them there too... [11:07] i could do english posters :) === tsmithe jests [11:09] meh [11:09] $148, it looks like :( [11:10] a few more payments might come in, I s'pose, but not budging much from there. [11:10] It's still cash, though :) [11:10] (to the side) who's he talking to? [11:10] hi jenda :) [11:11] jenda, so how can I help with this? [11:11] get the swag design from doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing [11:11] redesign it for spanish... [11:11] get it printed... [11:11] sell. [11:11] you can keep the money. [11:11] $$$ [11:12] lol [11:12] If you use it for the locoteam... that's perfect :) [11:12] where can I send the redesign so others con use it? [11:12] I used it to pay for ubuntuforums.org vBulletin license and DNS hosting for next year :) [11:12] and I still have those $$ left for marketing. [11:12] beuno: me :) [11:12] I'll upload them there. [11:13] cool [11:13] And it'll all be on the DIY website, eventually. [11:13] great [11:13] (BTW, anyone can upload them once they join the marketing team in launchpad) [11:13] I'm starting to get an idea of how this works [11:13] jenda, i know [11:13] beuno: feel free to do anything with english text, too. [11:13] when i have something to upload, i'll go [11:13] I've been in the launchpam MT for a while now [11:13] "wow! that's so cool!" [11:13] Martin Albisetti [11:14] cool [11:14] beuno: next step, learn bzr :) [11:14] and ssh [11:14] yes, I've been fighting with it all day [11:14] ssh and stuff I can do [11:14] I manage a few linux servers [11:14] so I know my way around the console [11:14] cool ;) [11:14] much better then the GUI ;D [11:14] fo sho [11:15] Well, unless you become a massproducing swag-spewing machine, you don't really have to worry about it :) [11:15] Dan and I can do it ;) [11:15] well, I'm gonno run this by the LoCo members and see what they think [11:15] yeah, that would be great at first [11:16] until I can understand how it works well enough not to break anything [11:16] beuno: BTW, once you have it ready, fill me in on the details... [11:16] and me [11:16] i wanna be up to date on all the goss [11:16] beuno: it's possible that printing here and the entire pack to you would be cheaper than printing there ;) [11:16] you think so? [11:16] more likely than not [11:17] maybe it will be the other way around [11:17] hes in czechorepublic [11:17] beuno: If, however, anyone in the LoCo owns a printer.... ;) [11:17] I'm in Argentina [11:17] Shouldn't matter - we can compare the prices anyway. [11:17] ;) [11:17] yeah [11:17] well [11:17] let's see [11:18] I made tshirts a while back with text on em for 4.5 us dollars [11:18] per tshirt [11:18] but what quality? [11:18] (BTW, that's very cheap ;)) [11:18] pretty good, I've washed the one I used over 30 times and still is perfect [11:18] yeah, Argentina ir really cheap right now [11:18] is [11:18] Yeah, Argentina is a good country for this too :) [11:19] (BTW, shipping prices are an issue too) [11:19] yes [11:19] that's a different story [11:19] shipping a shirt from here costs cca $4 [11:19] anywhere [11:19] par avion ;) [11:19] beuno, that's an amazing price [11:19] here it's more like 5 [11:19] so 8$ [11:20] yeap [11:20] and I only made 50 [11:20] wow [11:20] I guess the price lowers [11:20] that was for 100 [11:20] for more [11:20] indeedy [11:20] it was the classic "no, I won't fix your computer" one === somerville32 [n=somervil@fctnnbsc15w-156034086016.nb.aliant.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:21] hehe [11:21] beuno: I will be making shirts soon, but I'll be aiming for higher quality. [11:21] I got pretty tired of getting asked if I could take a look at... [11:21] Polo shirts, too. [11:21] oh, REALLY high quality [11:22] well, quality that'll make you wear it because it's a t-shirt, not because it has Ubuntu on it :) [11:22] it's a good angle === tsmithe likes a decent shirt [11:23] and i said decent [11:23] not crappy === tsmithe hates shopping === tsmithe muses [11:23] hmm [11:24] hehe [11:25] well, after that kind of outburst, i had to make it feel less awkward in here! [11:25] lol [11:25] wow awkward is a word where both syllables have a "w" [11:25] i never noticed english having so many "w"s before === tsmithe muses [11:26] hmm [11:26] i'll just go talk to a scarecrow [11:26] tsmithe: I noticed. [11:27] I do keyboard layouts :/ [11:27] it makes my life difficult :) [11:27] :) [11:27] qwerty [11:27] right next to e [11:27] but how do you mean "do"? [11:28] I use my own customised dvorakish layout. [11:28] And I'm working on a full Czech dvorak layout. [11:28] Totally impossible task :/ [11:29] 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] W is very common in E [11:29] NEVER used in C [11:29] :/ [11:29] as are FG and Q. [11:30] awk [11:30] that's a lot of hacking you'd have to do [11:30] i hate having to do accents and umlauts [11:30] stupid crappy keyboards [11:31] they're a rubbish medium anyway [11:31] hehe [11:31] not if you set them up right :) [11:32] really? [11:32] how can i do it [11:32] use xmodmap :) [11:33] man xmodmap [11:33] and: [11:33] nano /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap. [11:33] huh does that help with accents? [11:33] really? [11:33] how? [11:33] hmm [11:34] i use it for multimedia keys [11:34] it's quite tough to master, really ;) [11:34] i know [11:34] that's why i stopped there [11:34] but once you know your way around, it can do anything to your keyboard. [11:34] [11:34] wow [11:35] "i'll do anything for you, dear, anything, for you, dear, anything... anything?... anything for you!" [11:35] ... [11:35] Did you guys read Mark's letter? [11:35] which one? [11:35] The one praising UWN24 :D === somerville32 gleams. [11:36] ah yeah [11:36] i read it [11:36] congrats [11:36] :) [11:36] - teh bt eekly es [11:36] :) [11:36] hey that's a crazy kind of "w" [11:36] all curly and junk === tsmithe wants utf "w"s [11:36] :D [11:37] n [11:37] somerville32: Actually, I accidentally deleted that letter from the ubnutu-marketing list queue, so I had to ask him to resend it :) [11:37] and that n [11:37] ! [11:37] tsmithe: it's an 'omega' [11:37] ah [11:37] Doh! [11:37] you fool [11:37] ! [11:38] jenda, FYI, I got to talk to dan for a while over jabber and we're back on track ;D [11:38] cool [11:38] tsmithe: :) [11:38] :) [11:39] tsmithe: maybe it was a subconscious excuse to write to Mark ;) [11:39] :D [11:43] "Thanks, Corey & co!" [11:43] Yeah for us! [11:45] somerville32: congrats on your hard work [11:45] congrats on all our hard work [11:45] Thanks! :) === rexbron [n=rexbron@206-248-152-7.dsl.teksavvy.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rrittenhouse [n=tad@cpe-76-188-35-66.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:59] Burgwork, somerville32, the team: congrats ;) [12:00] now that's not just a "bit" late [12:00] hey wait [12:00] ah [12:00] it's only ten minutes [12:00] carry on [12:00] :) === tsmithe is too hasty === tsmithe continues talking to the scarecrow [12:00] ...
