moniker42hey, i was wondering...03:35
moniker42would i get paid to have an ubuntu logo tattooed on me somewhere?03:35
tsmitheyou might have to pay03:35
moniker42i'd have to pay to get a tattoo on my own body?03:35
moniker42well maybe ubuntu could at least cover the cost of the tattoo03:36
moniker42would i get free stickers?03:36
tonyyarussoIt would be trademark use, so you'd have to ask :)03:36
tonyyarussoEveryone gets free stickers, so yes.03:36
moniker42yeeey03:37
moniker42ok where do i get free stickers?03:37
tsmithe!shipit03:37
ubotushipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will not send Edgy (6.10) CDs, but only Dapper (6.06) CDs, as Dapper is a !LTS release.03:37
moniker42!LTS03:37
ubotuLTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.03:37
tsmitheor pay jenda or menza or juliux03:37
moniker42but i take it the logos etc will be creative commons/GNU03:38
moniker42so i could make my own stickers?03:38

somerville32It must requires a Pentium 4 *atleast* :P10:04
meatballhathow do we feel about alternate stylesheets?10:05

somerville32Who was the guy that copied it to their own website and made some changes at the very beginning?10:05
somerville32I really liked that version10:05
somerville32Fast10:05
somerville32Nice looking10:05
meatballhatthat's cool by me ... I switched to the "4 pillars" to better accommodate folks with XGA monitors10:05

beunowhat's the status on the diy?10:09
meatballhat2/3 argh, 1/3 schweet10:09
meatballhatI think we need a wee bit more data coming into some of the entries in "spread.php," "get.php," etc ...10:10
beunomeatballhat, is it safe to start cooking up a backend?10:10
meatballhatI altered the layout a bit and added imaginary database calls :P10:10

=== jenda thinks how he could give you enough to work with, so that it would be copy-paste work later to add more...
jenda...and yet so that I don't spend too much time on it.10:12
meatballhatI guess it really doesn't matter all that much ... the only other thing I noticed was that the whole "goto.php" thing makes it so that links do not display as "direct" links but rather as just calls to the database10:12
meatballhatbeuno: can we change this?10:13
jendagoto.php?10:13
meatballhatsomerville32: were y'all serious about cooking up a lighter CSS file?  Should I hold off till you are done10:13
beunomeatballhat, if I change it, I can't count how many clicks there were10:13
meatballhatjenda: goto.php is hidden ... it's all database talky code10:13
=== jenda doubts :)
jendameatballhat: ooh, good news10:13
jendameatballhat: that means it's somethnig I don't have to try to pretend I understand.10:14
meatballhatbeuno: okie doke10:14
somerville32meatballhat, No. I was impersonating you :P10:14
beunomeatballhat, since you changed the files, would you liek to merge them?10:14
meatballhatsomerville32: ;-) understood ... thanks for doing me justice B-)10:14

beunomeatballhat, so, should I go ahead and do stuff, or wait for you10:23
=== jenda says 'whee' as beryl burns another window
=== tsmithe is trying various wms
meatballhatbeuno: just a sec :) ... I'd like to decide on what add'l fields we need first10:24
tsmithejenda, i've decided 1280x800 is too small for openbox to look gorgeous10:24
meatballhatwhat 'bout commentary?10:24
meatballhatto be entered via the backend?10:24
beunowhere are you?10:24
tsmithejenda, so i may just have to go back to xfce. hear that, somerville32 :P10:24
meatballhatbeuno: everywhere :D10:25
jendatsmithe: do you want a Xubuntu case badge? ;)10:25
=== jenda rnus
jenda*runs10:25
beunolol10:25
beunojenda, xubuntu stickers?10:25
jendayeppers10:25
meatballhatthe only pages with dynamic content are "print" "get" and "go" yes?10:25
jenda750 of them.10:25
tsmithejenda, if it's free... but i'd prefer a vanilla one :P10:25
tsmithewith flavour if possible10:25
tsmithe(mmm vanilla)10:25
jendahehe10:26
beunomeatballhat, "commentary" would be user comments?10:26
meatballhatjenda proposed commentary for the "get" page so that users could critique quality of others' offerings10:26
meatballhatto be submitted by users via the wiki, then filtered and posted by admins via the backend10:26
jendathat's not what I suggested :)10:27
meatballhatjenda: there you are!  pipe up! :D10:27
meatballhatwhat did you suggest? :D10:27
beunook, add it to the design then, I'll add whatever is *possible* on the layout tothe DB10:27

jendabeuno, meatballhat: I suggested receiving emails - first parsing the addy (only from @ubuntu.com), then subject - we would ask people to put in a reference code of the swag: "Posters-1" and put the body of the mail as comments.10:28
jendawith us reversing nonsense ones10:28
beunoah, parsing emails...    uhm....   that never works out10:28
jendaThere won't be too many, because it's limited on both sides: number of swag shipped, and number of members.10:29
jendabeuno: you sure?10:29
jendawith a single domain of addys to parse...10:29
beunojenda, now the domain or user, the actual "content"10:30
beunobut I guess once we got all this working we can give it a crack10:30
meatballhatjenda, beuno: it'd be easier via form, yes?  10:30
beunomuch much easier10:30
meatballhatwe can still boot out non @ubuntu addys ...10:30
meatballhatbut there's easier validation when we're controlling the input from the first, yes?10:31
jendahmm10:31
jendaok10:31
=== jenda disappointed ;)
beunomeatballhat, correct10:31
jendaI'm opposed to forms - I'd rather do it manually.10:31
meatballhatjenda: the future will come eventually ;-)10:31
jendaI don't want randommers commenting on swag.10:31
meatballhatjenda: easier for you ...  considerably dirtier for the progger amongst us :D10:32
jendaI want to personally check if the person has bought them stuff.10:32
meatballhatjenda: if we're still booting comments from non-ubuntu members...?10:32
=== BHSPitMonkey [n=stephen@adsl-65-65-221-216.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing
meatballhatjenda: we can have the form submit to a queue10:32
meatballhatand review before "promoting" them to viewable10:33
meatballhatbeuno: am I on the right track?10:33
beunoabsolutely10:33
jendameatballhat: I'd still prefer to do it manually.10:33
meatballhatjenda: you can ... and then copy and paste it into the form :-P    .... :D10:34
jendameatballhat: I wouldn't mind a non-ubuntu member that way...10:34
jendahaha10:34
jendathe form would make people ask Why can't I comment?10:34
meatballhatI think that we're still talking about the same thing, really ...  if we put the form in an obscure location and don't link to it directly from the site...10:34
meatballhatit's the form-based equivalent of a privately-written email10:35
=== beuno proposes leaving comments for the second phase
beunowe put the site up10:35
beunosee it behave, and start building on top10:35
meatballhatit's not like we're putting a "comment" button on each entry :D10:35
meatballhatbeuno: agreed :D10:35
meatballhatokay ... so comments to be reserved for next round? :D10:35
meatballhatany additional comments on the commenting commentary?10:36
beuno+110:36
meatballhatjenda?  ;-D10:36
meatballhatuh oh ...  jenda???10:38
jendasorry :)10:38
jendatoo much happening.10:38
jendaok, sure10:38
jendabut why not give them an email adress instead? ;)10:38
jendais the form so much cleaner, DB-wise? :)10:38
meatballhatgoooood ... okay, so file size, alt URLs, ordering info for "get" ...10:38
=== jenda gives up :)
meatballhatjenda: yes, very much 10:38
meatballhatcleaner, that is :D10:39
beunojenda, parsing emails is terribly hard, you never know how they're going to be formated10:39
jendabeuno: not when I do it manually :)10:39
jendabeuno: simple - reject them if they're wrong.10:39
beunooh, in that case knock yourself out10:39
meatballhat:D10:39
meatballhatsettle down, gents :D10:39
meatballhatmoving on?  10:39
jendabeuno: comments  second phase +110:39
meatballhatjenda: yay!!!10:39
=== beuno smiles
meatballhat...   file size, alt URLs, ordering info for "get"10:40
meatballhatwhat else we missing?10:40
jendaauthor and licence, of course.10:41
meatballhatI seem to remember we're lacking in url description tables for some10:41
meatballhatyes10:41
=== jenda remembers bzr thing... again :)
meatballhatjenda: would you be able to give us a run-down of essential data to include for each entry on "print" "get" and "go" ? .. perhaps on the wiki?10:42
=== jenda sshs
jendaok10:42
meatballhatyou're the lawyer amongst us, btw :-)10:42
=== jenda slaps himself to wake up.
jendahehe :)10:42

somerville32Well, you can use the 0.14 release candidate11:30
=== somerville32 does.
jendameh11:31
beunojenda, do you have any idea if Ubuntu/Canonical is participating in this:  http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/20/092822111:33
beunoand if not, who can we bring it to there attention?11:33
jendabeuno: sorry, it didn't load at first, and then I drifted off to the DIY wiki...11:55
jendajust a sec11:55
jendabeuno: I've never heard of it.11:56
jendaIt should try to participate...11:56
jendaand the person to do that is...11:56
=== jenda thinks
jendaCommunications Manager.11:56
jendaIt's not a community thing.11:56
jendabeuno: Christina Jane Armstrong11:56
beunogreat11:56
beunogot her email addy handy?11:57
jendabeuno: <christina dot armstrong swat canonical cot com>11:57
jenda;)11:57
jendadespammalize yourself ;)11:57
jendatwo dots and an at11:57
beunotnx, I'll contact her11:58
tonyyarussoswat?11:58
jendatonyyarusso: 'at'11:58
tonyyarussoYeah, I understand - I'm jsut amused11:58
jendatonyyarusso: I have the feeling using the same despammulization each time is very ineffective.11:59
tonyyarussotrue11:59
jendaBut I'm paranoid of course :)11:59
tonyyarussoI should talk to her too11:59
tonyyarussoThe CBC seems very Linux-friendly, and I'll bet we could get a Feisty release story there.12:00
tonyyarussoBut, first we _need_ press releases written for things other than tech sites.12:00
jendaI see my despamulisation is still ineffective...12:00
tonyyarussoOur current ones won't cut it in the general public.12:00
jendaI need to find a type no-one will understand ;)12:00
jendapoor CJA will now get flooded by -marketing people ;)12:00
tonyyarussoNah, I already had her info.12:01
beunoseems I had it to12:01
beunoI think she was in the last marketing meeting, wasn't she?12:02
tonyyarussoyes12:02
beunoJenda is faster the gmain contacts though  ;)12:03
