| poningru | I even wrote up a spec on it | 07:30 |
| Burgwork | right | 07:30 |

| poningru | its a international student organization | 07:41 |

| === poningru is the cofounder of florida freeculture | ||

| adamant1988 | Oh sorry, probably should have sugar coated that. | 07:46 |
| poningru | yeah thats it dude | 07:47 |

| poningru | but dont try to do that with established marketing campaigns | 07:48 |
| adamant1988 | Yeah, established scare tactics. Awesome. | 07:48 |
| poningru | but yeah you need some lessons in belittling someone too it seems | 07:48 |

| poningru | btw we should probably take this to non-ubuntu channel | 07:49 |
| poningru | this is getting non-soc fast | 07:49 |
| adamant1988 | I'm making a point, your organizations "campaign" services should not be utilized for the marketing team. | 07:49 |
| poningru | hooray for not belittling someone | 07:49 |
| poningru | like I said you need lessons in that | 07:49 |
| adamant1988 | I'm not trying to belittle you, I'm a member of your "college demographic" too, and frankly none of these sites look like something I would trust or visit more than once. | 07:50 |
| adamant1988 | Yes, highly effective. | 07:50 |
| poningru | adamant1988: you are not understanding the campaign | 07:50 |
| poningru | these websites are not meant to be entirely used for the convincing people to do anything | 07:51 |
| adamant1988 | I'm even a member of *the* target audience, I'm an informed open-source advocate, and the dbd.org site looks like a rediculous attempt to slant my opinion | 07:51 |
| poningru | its the physical talking that is the campaign | 07:51 |
| poningru | also keep in mind we cant claim credit for the hazard suits awesomeness | 07:52 |
| poningru | that was all fsf | 07:52 |
| adamant1988 | Now, I like the letter to Steve Jobs and such, but I don't think it's effective. | 07:52 |
| poningru | well duh... its not meant to be effective against steve jobs | 07:53 |
| poningru | its meant to show the hypocrisy in what he is saying | 07:53 |
| poningru | to other people | 07:53 |
| adamant1988 | Ok, do you have traffic counts? | 07:53 |
| === MenZa throws a facebook at poningru | ||
| adamant1988 | I want to see what kind of exposure the site gets. | 07:53 |
| poningru | traffic counts? | 07:54 |
| poningru | adamant1988: you still dont understand | 07:54 |
| adamant1988 | If the physical talking is your campaign, then it wasn't smart to try to sway me with the url. | 07:54 |
| poningru | that site is not meant to be a frontend for convincing people | 07:54 |
| poningru | adamant1988: sure it was | 07:54 |
| poningru | cause you are supposed to be a marketer | 07:55 |
| poningru | a 'informed open-source advocate' | 07:55 |
| poningru | s/a/an | 07:55 |
| adamant1988 | Which I am, so if you're going to give me the URL and then tell me "Oh that doesn't matter" then what was the point? | 07:55 |
| poningru | no it doesnt matter to the end-user who we are trying to reach | 07:56 |
| poningru | that url matters to other marketers | 07:56 |
| adamant1988 | I wouldn't use it. | 07:56 |
| poningru | i...c | 07:56 |
| adamant1988 | It's heavily biased, if I was going to use some kind of service for my material, I would pick an objective one. | 07:56 |
| poningru | dude... | 07:57 |
| poningru | objectivity in marketing? | 07:57 |
| poningru | are you sure? | 07:57 |
| adamant1988 | poningru: I'm a firm believe in data, I've had success with marketing tactics that don't require me to say something that's not true, or slant the evidence in my favor. | 07:57 |
| adamant1988 | If I can't market something on it's own merits, it's not worth marketing. | 07:58 |
| poningru | I never said any of those | 07:58 |
| poningru | you just present all the good arguments of one side | 07:58 |
| adamant1988 | Instead of preaching "DRM is Evil" you should be saying "This is why non-DRM is better" and be clear and concise as to why. | 07:59 |
| poningru | uh... no dude | 07:59 |
| poningru | thats not how you are supposed to be doing it | 07:59 |
| poningru | while that should take up a small portion of your points | 07:59 |
| poningru | it should not be the majority | 07:59 |
| poningru | you are still thinking the build em and they will come philosophy | 08:00 |
| adamant1988 | No, I'm thinking in the "I'd rather not slant my information" philosophy. | 08:00 |
| poningru | no one is slanting any information | 08:00 |
| adamant1988 | ... So you call presenting a one sided argument NOT slanting? | 08:01 |
| poningru | what information is being 'slanted' | 08:01 |
| adamant1988 | No you're right, there is absolutely NO bias there at all. | 08:01 |
| poningru | ... | 08:01 |
| poningru | read through my conversation | 08:02 |
| poningru | I can just copy and paste my statements from above | 08:02 |
| adamant1988 | I bet your "Physical conversations" are just as heavily biased. | 08:02 |
| adamant1988 | If not more. | 08:02 |
| adamant1988 | Have you bothered to watch any competitive adverts lately? | 08:02 |
| poningru | explain | 08:03 |
| poningru | if you are telling me that these competitive advertz dont have any bias and present 'information' | 08:03 |
| poningru | but no go ahead | 08:03 |
| poningru | explain to me your marketing idea then dude | 08:04 |
| adamant1988 | They present accurate information, just look at ANY Red Hat adverts. | 08:04 |
| poningru | you present all the information and let the user decide? | 08:04 |
| adamant1988 | poningru: You present the information in the appropriate format, just don't slant it. | 08:04 |
| beuno | I have to agree with poningru, marketing isn't about presenting the information and letting the users decide, that only works for a small fraction of users | 08:05 |
| poningru | so you say things like 'linux doesnt have any desktop market share' | 08:05 |
| === beuno butts in | ||
| poningru | ?? | 08:05 |
| adamant1988 | poningru: Or you say "Linux has a rapidly growing market share" | 08:05 |
| adamant1988 | Both are true. | 08:05 |
| poningru | adamant1988: EXACTLY | 08:06 |
| poningru | but thats slanting according to you | 08:06 |
| poningru | and should not be done | 08:06 |
| adamant1988 | No, slanting is not presenting the other side at all. | 08:06 |
| poningru | WTF | 08:06 |
| poningru | you didnt present the other side there | 08:06 |
| poningru | you said it has a rapidly growing market share | 08:06 |
| poningru | didnt say anything about current market share | 08:06 |
| adamant1988 | If I was going to make an advert out of that, I would show the growth | 08:07 |
| poningru | yes exactly | 08:07 |
| poningru | you emphasis the growth, and take attention away from the fact that right now it doesnt have any | 08:07 |
| adamant1988 | Ok, so I would show the growth, I would show a statistic in a form where it was readable/entertaining. But you don't lie about the competitors. | 08:08 |
| poningru | and I guess I can see how some people see this as 'slant' but thats what marketing is | 08:08 |
| adamant1988 | "DRM is evil!" | 08:08 |
| adamant1988 | Ok, DRM is NOT evil, and saying so is a blatant attempt to bias me. | 08:08 |
| poningru | adamant1988: how is that false? | 08:08 |
| poningru | drm is evil | 08:09 |
| adamant1988 | hardly, DRM is an anti-theft device on media to prevent unauthorized distribution according to the law. The fact that we disagree does not make it evil, it CAN make it unethical though. | 08:09 |
| poningru | lol | 08:09 |
| adamant1988 | I agree, DRM is unethical, but hardly Evil. | 08:10 |
| adamant1988 | I don't think Satan himself has had a hand in it. | 08:10 |
| poningru | evil == marketing speak for unethical | 08:10 |
| adamant1988 | And *that* is what I'm talking about. | 08:10 |
| poningru | brb | 08:11 |
| poningru | what is '*that*'? | 08:12 |
| poningru | sorry brb we have a person here to fix the dishwasher | 08:13 |
| adamant1988 | Using a word substitute that warps what you're saying into a different beast. | 08:14 |
| adamant1988 | "Unethical | 08:15 |

| adamant1988 | The differences are pretty clear. Of course obviously there is some overlap since you like the FSF and probably agree with RMS on most of his points. | 08:18 |
| poningru | no dude the difference is not that clear in an end user's view point | 08:30 |
| poningru | sorry the guy just left | 08:30 |
| poningru | anyway | 08:30 |
| adamant1988 | Ask anyone what they associate with the word Evil, and I bet you you'll find the difference is even greater. | 08:30 |
| poningru | adamant1988: the entire point of marketing is to show your product as really good | 08:31 |
| poningru | without seeming ape-shit crazy | 08:31 |
| adamant1988 | poningru: Then show your product as good without calling the otherone on things that aren't true. | 08:31 |
| poningru | clearly RMS does not fullfill this criterion | 08:31 |
| poningru | adamant1988: thats a given | 08:31 |
| adamant1988 | "DRM is Evil" is blatantly opinionated. "DRM is a violation of your consumer rights" is a much more true statement. | 08:31 |
| poningru | so you are saying you shouldnt have opinions in them? | 08:32 |
| poningru | lol | 08:32 |
| adamant1988 | Well, opinionated was the wrong word I suppose. | 08:32 |
| adamant1988 | But I would keep opinions as far from it as possible. | 08:32 |
| adamant1988 | But, I can understand why the FSF would utilize your services. | 08:33 |
| poningru | so what kinda things shouldnt be in advertz? | 08:38 |
| poningru | you already said slanting is ok | 08:38 |
| poningru | and opinions are allowed | 08:38 |
| poningru | so... | 08:38 |
| poningru | what isnt allowed? | 08:38 |
| poningru | blatantly lieing? we agree on that | 08:39 |
| adamant1988 | I supposed the extremes of slanting and opinionated/biased advertisind? | 08:39 |
| poningru | any sort of lying is wrong | 08:39 |
| adamant1988 | advertising* | 08:39 |
| poningru | so where do you draw the line? and why is your line the one that matters? | 08:39 |
| adamant1988 | Calling something evil is a bit extreme, and probably not as effective as you would like it to be. | 08:40 |
| poningru | actually dude its really effective I would say | 08:40 |
| poningru | you just have to do it without making yourself seem complete ape-shit crazy | 08:40 |
| adamant1988 | poningru: Do a little study for yourself, tell 10 people that DRM is evil, and tell the other 10 that it's a violation of their consumer rights. | 08:40 |
| adamant1988 | I bet the latter is more effective. | 08:40 |
| poningru | adamant1988: I would much rather tell them both | 08:41 |
| poningru | adamant1988: you honestly dont think nixternal here is gonna go and tell someone "DRM IS EVIL" and just walk away do you? | 08:41 |
| adamant1988 | I avoid using such extremes, and I've had good success locally educating people about DRM. | 08:41 |
| nixternal | no, I am going to punch them in the face before I walk away :) | 08:41 |
| poningru | lol | 08:42 |
| beuno | finally some sense... | 08:42 |
| adamant1988 | poningru: if your goal is to make them think DRM is evil, then you're going to keep pushing that idea. | 08:42 |
| adamant1988 | By the time you're finished they'll think of the RIAA leadership as relatives of Hitler. | 08:43 |
| poningru | they will? | 08:43 |
| poningru | damn my skillz amaze even me | 08:43 |
| nixternal | RIAA is worse than Hitler | 08:43 |
| adamant1988 | it was an example. | 08:43 |
| poningru | I didnt know i had such awesome skillz | 08:43 |
| beuno | mainly because hitler is dead | 08:43 |
| nixternal | I tell people at church that DRM is the anti-christ and they need to stear clear of it. I am going to find a verse eventually in the Bible that will back that up :) | 08:44 |
| mindspin | sure you will | 08:44 |
| adamant1988 | nixternal: Just add it in there somewhere, they'll never notice | 08:44 |
| beuno | wikibible! | 08:44 |
| adamant1988 | I bet the only one who's actually really read the thing is the preacher. | 08:45 |
| nixternal | hehe | 08:45 |
| nixternal | dude, the Bible is copyrighted | 08:45 |
| nixternal | that is nuts | 08:46 |
| adamant1988 | "And Jesus said unto his followers, do not download mp3s with DRM, for they are evil and unjust" | 08:46 |
| nixternal | no, Jesus said "don't download mp3's period!" | 08:46 |
| adamant1988 | pfft I download Mp3s. | 08:46 |
| nixternal | purchase your music, rip it to ogg (vorbis, or whatever), and trade with thy neighbor | 08:46 |
| nixternal | I don't download music | 08:47 |
| adamant1988 | Meh, all my friends use the standard. I download classical all the time. | 08:47 |
| adamant1988 | I use Classical when I'm writing and stuff, and it's obviously not protected by copyright anymore, so no DMCA violations for me | 08:47 |
| poningru | actually dude | 08:48 |
| poningru | the performances are copyrighted | 08:48 |
| crimsun | nixternal: don't you mean "translations are copyrighted"? | 08:48 |
| adamant1988 | I really need to start getting my friends using vorbis. | 08:48 |
| poningru | even though the sheet music isnt | 08:48 |
| nixternal | with Last.fm, I don't have to download anymore | 08:48 |
| nixternal | crimsun: yes :) | 08:48 |
| nixternal | but you know what I mean ;p | 08:48 |
| nixternal | man, this guy follows me everywhere | 08:49 |
| adamant1988 | poningru: Hrmm, oh well, guess I need to stop using google to find the stuff :( | 08:49 |
| nixternal | Google is the devil! | 08:49 |
| poningru | adamant1988: find british royal orchestra's performances | 08:49 |
| poningru | they are pd | 08:49 |
| nixternal | downloading mp3s, movies, office, xp, vista, or whatever, is the life of a MySpacetard | 08:50 |
| crimsun | nixternal's surfing myspace using ie7 on vista as we type | 08:50 |
| nixternal | I do not condone it, do not enjoy it, and actually when I hear someone at school talk about their MySpace friends like they are real, I beat them up ;p | 08:50 |
| nixternal | hahaha crimsun, I am waiting for someone to blog something like that :) | 08:51 |
| nixternal | crimsun: actually, imbrandon is such a Windows junky, he runs Kubuntu with a Vista theme and actually created the ever so popular Royal theme for KDE and KBFX or whatever it is called | 08:51 |
| nixternal | My KDE theme screams KDE. I jsut recently switched from Plastik to QtCurve, but kept the inverted look, and even use the default KDE colors, with a semi transparent kicker, and a picture of Cabo San Lucas as my wallpaper | 08:52 |
| adamant1988 | nixternal: EEWWWW KDE USZR!!! | 08:53 |
| nixternal | hrmm | 08:53 |
| === nixternal doesn't get in the battle of GNOME vs. KDE | ||
| poningru | oh come on | 08:53 |
| poningru | those are fun | 08:53 |
| adamant1988 | No, Vi vs Emacs arguments are better | 08:54 |
| nixternal | Kate FTW! | 08:56 |
| nixternal | I use emacs when running tty1-6, and I use Kate when I am in the GUI | 08:56 |
