| Ukubuntu | Hello all I have a marketing idea but I am not sure if it has been pursued before. Distributing through a popular weekend newspaper. | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| adamant1988 | Ukubuntu: You mean like a newspaper ad? | 01:36 |
| Ukubuntu | No not at all. The sunday newspapers add a cd every week for a film or software for ancestry.com. Why not send out a CD of Ubuntu? | 01:37 |
| Ukubuntu | This way we gain the awarenes of ordinary people, those who don't buy PC magazines but cannot afford the leap to Vista, only want a system that is secure and does not fall over etc | 01:39 |
| Ukubuntu | The Live CD is not only a great intro, it is a rescue CD too, and the open software project too is still there for windows users | 01:40 |
| === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Ukubuntu | It would be best to be the i386 LiveCD in my mind, as this will appeal to the most users. | 01:41 |
| Ukubuntu | For Instance, take the UK, The Sunday Times is probably the paper where the readership has a reasonable intellect. If you sent out a CD, a month after launch of 7.04, just in case of major bloopers, then you would really stand to increase the number of new users and work on bug #1 | 01:46 |
| === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| adamant1988 | Ukubuntu: I like that idea | 01:47 |
| adamant1988 | They don't send them here, but that's something your LoCo team might be able to arrange | 01:48 |
| Ukubuntu | OK I will chat to the uk team. I think though it could be a global initiative, as we could produce lots of articles to encourage newspapers to make the promotion for free. I feel it could seel newspapers with Vista as it is | 01:49 |
| Ukubuntu | Though I heard MS is more concerned about Goole than Linux! what a twist! | 01:50 |
| Ukubuntu | 01:50 | |
| lotusleaf | who cares about MS | 01:51 |
| lotusleaf | FOSS is the future | 01:51 |
| lotusleaf | unless you're talking about MS the disease | 01:51 |
| Ukubuntu | I care enough not to alienate it's users before they understand the benefit of Linux | 01:51 |
| lotusleaf | :P | 01:51 |
| lotusleaf | No one said anything about the users, which is why my site has links to aid those users | 01:53 |
| Ukubuntu | :) | 01:53 |
| lotusleaf | regarding a magazine distributing an ubuntu cd, wouldn't it just be a matter of contacting said magazine and inquiring? | 01:53 |
| Ukubuntu | sorry, shot myself in the foot :$ | 01:53 |
| adamant1988 | Ukubuntu: Our papers here don't distribute CDs like that | 01:54 |
| adamant1988 | unfortunately | 01:54 |
| Ukubuntu | I have already started ;) | 01:54 |
| lotusleaf | cool | 01:54 |
| lotusleaf | be sure to subscribe to the marketing mailing list | 01:54 |
| Ukubuntu | I tried the sunday telegraph and if no response plan to go onto the Times | 01:54 |
| Ukubuntu | Want to read what I wrote? | 01:55 |
| Ukubuntu | whats the pastebin link? | 01:55 |
| lotusleaf | /msg ubotu !pastebin | 01:55 |
| Ukubuntu | thks | 01:55 |
| lotusleaf | np | 01:56 |

| Ukubuntu | Thats an email I sent them. I hope it reads OK, comments welcome | 01:59 |
| Ukubuntu | you may need to wordwrap :) | 01:59 |
| === BHSPitMonkey [n=stephen@67.64.145.227] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Ukubuntu | anyway, got to go, but I will join the mailing list and if you want to mail me a comment, you can to ukubuntu@just-contact.me.uk | 03:08 |
| elcasey | I had a guy give an interesting reason for not using Linux or OSS on Thursday | 03:09 |
| elcasey | he said he "just didn't trust software from the internet...I want a brand name." | 03:09 |
| tonyyarusso | errr, "Ubuntu", and get it via ShipIT | 03:10 |
| elcasey | I'm not 100% sure how you make it plain to people that Linux/OSS firms are often for-profit companies and *are* profitable...but I think his comment went beyond the "hobbyist OS" complaint that seems standard | 03:10 |
| elcasey | i.e. he wanted to use Microsoft's network monitoring software, even though he admitted it was garbage | 03:10 |
| elcasey | but he didn't "trust" an OSS solution | 03:10 |
| === elcasey is now known as elcasey_ | ||
| === elcasey_ is now known as elcasey | ||
| adamant1988 | elcasey: IMO the Ubuntu.com site now goes a long way towards doing that | 03:17 |
| adamant1988 | However, since people aren't being actively ripped off by Canonical they don't recognize that it's even able to make money | 03:17 |
| elcasey | but i don't think people like that go out surfing for linux sites, you know? | 03:17 |
| adamant1988 | elcasey: the point is you can direct them to it, the site is well done and professional | 03:17 |
| elcasey | the instructor is very pro-OSS, so I think we'll wear this guy down by the end of the semester ;) | 03:17 |
| tonyyarusso | elcasey: They do after they try to use their iPod on Vista | 03:17 |
| jenda | adamant1988: hahah, well put :) | 03:17 |
| elcasey | hehehe | 03:17 |
| elcasey | iTunes *still* doesn't work in Vista? Wow... | 03:18 |
| adamant1988 | However, I think Canonical does need a way to take advantage of all the home users | 03:18 |
| adamant1988 | I started a thread on the forums about a different kind of support model I want to suggest, but the forum interest was kind of low and the thread is on page 2 | 03:18 |
| adamant1988 | I think part of the challenge of marketing any linux distribution is you need to alter how people think | 03:19 |
| elcasey | good point | 03:19 |
| elcasey | and I'm still not convinced that Linux is ready for the average computard's desktop | 03:19 |
| adamant1988 | I am, feisty is absolutely care free. | 03:19 |
| adamant1988 | I only touch the CLI when I want too, this is Linux made easy | 03:20 |
| elcasey | i haven't used feisty yet | 03:20 |
| tonyyarusso | elcasey: keep in mind that all of the hard parts about Linux are equal or worse in non-OEM Windows | 03:20 |
| elcasey | how is retail Windows any different than an OEM version? | 03:20 |
| adamant1988 | I think one thing Ubuntu really needs to do is start actively involving itself with OEMs. | 03:20 |
| elcasey | for *me*, I get frustrated now in Windows because CMD is a useless shell. | 03:21 |
| adamant1988 | elcasey: retail windows has been set up to work on that hardware | 03:21 |
| tonyyarusso | elcasey: OEMs install all of the drivers and 3rd party apps | 03:21 |
| elcasey | but *everything* has a Windows driver | 03:21 |
| adamant1988 | You try installing just vanilla windows on a system and see what you get. | 03:21 |
| tonyyarusso | Starting from scratch is a _serious_ PITA | 03:21 |
| elcasey | I've installed vanilla Windows on basically every computer I've had since 1992 | 03:21 |
| elcasey | which is the last time I bought a machine built by anyone but me | 03:21 |
| adamant1988 | I hated it, I had to put windows back on my lappy and in it's vanilla stage it was awful | 03:22 |
| elcasey | tonyyarusso: but yeah, if I didn't have my wifi drivers on cd, forget it | 03:22 |
| elcasey | but linux is the same...edgy doesn't support my wifi card out of the box (feisty does!) | 03:22 |
| tonyyarusso | elcasey: Yeah, pretty much. | 03:22 |
| === tonyyarusso 's wifi worked in Hoary - take that | ||
| === elcasey takes it | ||
| adamant1988 | Anyway, I think if we're marketing Ubuntu we need to try to alter the way people consider it | 03:22 |
| elcasey | my laptop works fine, it's an ipw2200 | 03:22 |
| elcasey | but alas, they don't make PCI Centrino cards | 03:23 |
| adamant1988 | Mine is BCM4318 :( | 03:23 |
| tonyyarusso | Mine's Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 a/b/g - works with ipw220 | 03:23 |
| tonyyarusso | 0 | 03:23 |
| adamant1988 | Guys, perhaps we could take advantage of Youtube and other video sites to advertise Ubuntu? | 03:23 |
| elcasey | there's loads of stuff on there currently...but you have to look for it | 03:24 |
| adamant1988 | There just has to be a way to get more exposure | 03:24 |
| adamant1988 | I wish we could create some kind of an actual incentives program | 03:24 |
| elcasey | paid advertising is going to be a necessity | 03:25 |
| elcasey | but certainly not an easy one, and what markets and who and how? | 03:25 |
| adamant1988 | Eh, word of mouth is typically just more effective in my experience | 03:25 |
| adamant1988 | Paid adverts just kick-start the word of mouth | 03:25 |
| adamant1988 | 1000 people see your ad, 900 of them will ignore it, the other 100 will get a little interested and tell people about the ad (as long as it's done properly) | 03:26 |
| elcasey | those ads still have to be placed | 03:28 |
| adamant1988 | Oh they do, but that's not a concern at this moment, I don't figure. | 03:28 |
| adamant1988 | I think Ubuntu needs to be actively targeting small business | 03:28 |
| elcasey | i wouldn't think so for this team, anyway...that's Canonical's issue | 03:28 |
| elcasey | agreed | 03:28 |
| elcasey | for work desktops, I think Linux is a smashing success | 03:29 |
| adamant1988 | We're the marketing team, that's what we are supposed to think about | 03:29 |
| elcasey | just use the apps for work, play a little Gnometris if you want, but *don't jack around with it* | 03:29 |
| adamant1988 | The home user likes to fiddle | 03:29 |
| elcasey | and break it, and cry, because they'll never be able to run 400 commands in the terminal xD | 03:29 |
| adamant1988 | the point is that small businesses are more than 80% of the business in the United States. | 03:29 |
| elcasey | whoa, i almost got all capitalist for a second | 03:30 |
| adamant1988 | So they're the big market to try to go after. | 03:30 |
| elcasey | i almost said, "But how to profit from Linux penetration?" o_0 | 03:30 |
| adamant1988 | lol | 03:30 |
| elcasey | it's because i haven't taken my drugs today, i'll bet :P | 03:30 |
| === yama [n=yama@121.44.248.48] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| adamant1988 | jenda: ping | 03:30 |
| elcasey | but yeah, i really do think Ubuntu is both ready and advantageous for/to small business desktops. | 03:30 |
| jenda | adamant1988: no way. | 03:31 |
| jenda | I'm asleep. | 03:31 |
| adamant1988 | jenda: Sorry, I'll ask later then | 03:31 |
| jenda | :) | 03:31 |
| elcasey | a good groupware server is going to be imperative soon | 03:31 |
| jenda | is it quick? | 03:31 |
| elcasey | but for now, that has to be Exchange | 03:31 |
| adamant1988 | jenda: Well, how would you feel about starting some competitive articles and gearing more of our efforts towards the small businesses? | 03:31 |
| jenda | Feel free to. | 03:32 |
| jenda | I'm not gonna do it, though ;) | 03:32 |
| adamant1988 | Ok, so you'll let me go on a tangent on the mailing list? | 03:32 |
| elcasey | competitive articles? | 03:32 |
| adamant1988 | elcasey: Well, Ubuntu has a lot going for it, but when a business is looking at their OS of choice I think the first thing on their mind would be "Which do I pick" and "Why should I pick this one" | 03:33 |
| jenda | elcasey: "a" and "an" | 03:33 |
| jenda | competitive articles ;) | 03:33 |
| elcasey | LOL | 03:33 |
| elcasey | took me a second | 03:33 |
| jenda | adamant1988: feel free to expound all your ideas on the mailing list. | 03:33 |
| adamant1988 | Some articles/information detailing why Ubuntu is a solid choice over other offerings would be needed. | 03:34 |
| elcasey | unfortunately I think right now, small business just thinks, "Do I buy Vista or XP?" | 03:34 |
| jenda | adamant1988: keep in mind the 'reinvent the wheel' syndrome, though. | 03:34 |
| elcasey | We have to figure out how to change that. | 03:34 |
| adamant1988 | jenda: I'll make sure to keep that in mind | 03:34 |
| elcasey | is there like a "checklist" flyer in existence? | 03:34 |
| elcasey | Ticking off the major areas why Ubuntu rocks your face off? | 03:34 |
| jenda | adamant1988: ie. chances are you aren't the first who thought of it, so it might pay off to have a look at similar ideas around and what came of them. | 03:34 |
| adamant1988 | elcasey: I think some case studies with some exposure in the kinds of literature small businesses read is a good place to start. | 03:34 |
| adamant1988 | I can probably get a bunch of businesses here locally to make that switch | 03:35 |
| adamant1988 | Anything they can do to cut costs would make them happy | 03:35 |
| lotusleaf | most businesses I've approached favor the savings they receive from switching to ubuntu and not having to pay for licenses | 03:36 |
| adamant1988 | lotusleaf: indeed | 03:36 |
| lotusleaf | once you tell them they can receive support from Canonical, it's all roses | 03:36 |
| elcasey | good point | 03:37 |
| elcasey | but that gets farmed out, no? | 03:37 |
| adamant1988 | I think the first thing we should do is start actively going to these businesses and collecting information from them | 03:37 |
| adamant1988 | elcasey: Canonical does it's own support contracts as well | 03:37 |
| lotusleaf | developing a flyer aimed at businesses with this information in a slick looking way would be cool IMO | 03:37 |
| lotusleaf | perhaps it already exists | 03:37 |
| adamant1988 | I'm kind of interested in ways we can get to them though | 03:38 |
| adamant1988 | What are businesses watching, reading, etc. | 03:38 |
| adamant1988 | Once we know where we can get some exposure at no cost, we can go from there.. | 03:39 |
| lotusleaf | sending out an emissary to various businesses at the grassroots level armed with flyers and information would be cool | 03:40 |
| adamant1988 | lotusleaf: Perhaps we could talk to the Loco teams about this | 03:41 |
| lotusleaf | is there a single piece of marketing material available (DIY like stuff) aimed at businesses? | 03:41 |
| adamant1988 | The loco teams are a bit more mobile than we would be able to be | 03:41 |
| lotusleaf | adamant1988, excellent point | 03:41 |
| adamant1988 | Probably best to actively work with them on this | 03:41 |
| adamant1988 | Do we have a launchpad where we can make specs for this stuff? | 03:43 |
| adamant1988 | It would be a lot easier to coordinate our efforts with a freaking launchpad :( | 03:43 |
| lotusleaf | jenda's the sage to ask | 03:43 |
| adamant1988 | he's asleep | 03:44 |
| lotusleaf | :/ | 03:44 |
| tonyyarusso | http://www.cbc.ca/technology/ | 03:44 |
| tonyyarusso | Look down | 03:44 |
| adamant1988 | the Article about Ubuntu? | 03:44 |
| adamant1988 | I read that | 03:44 |
| tonyyarusso | yeah - mainstream media, we have arrived! | 03:44 |
| tonyyarusso | :) | 03:44 |
| adamant1988 | Ugh, stuff like this makes me sad that I want to use Fedora lol | 03:45 |
| lotusleaf | I'd never go back to rpm | 03:45 |
| adamant1988 | lotusleaf: that bad? | 03:45 |
| adamant1988 | I haven't used it, ever. | 03:45 |
| lotusleaf | adamant1988, you're in #ubuntuforums or #ubuntu-offtopic? | 03:45 |
| lotusleaf | i'll take my response there ;) | 03:45 |
| adamant1988 | lotusleaf: you can PM me | 03:45 |

| Admiral_Chicago | Burgundavia: i think it fits under the realm of general linux happenings" | 08:17 |
| Admiral_Chicago | i read somewhere that UWN is mostly ubuntu, but that some other stuff could be included | 08:17 |
| boredandblogging | does it matter if some things are british english? | 08:18 |
| Burgundavia | Admiral_Chicago: not really, it would get too big | 08:20 |
| Burgundavia | boredandblogging: it all shoudl be in british/internal english | 08:20 |
| boredandblogging | ok | 08:21 |
| Admiral_Chicago | i seem to remember reading a page that said something like that....hmm maybe i'm mistaken | 08:21 |
| poningru | anything I can do? | 08:29 |
| Burgundavia | yes, 6.10 and 6.06 updates | 08:29 |
| Burgundavia | and bug stats | 08:30 |
| boredandblogging | there is an xxx after longstanding bug report fix, not sure what thats about | 08:30 |
| Burgundavia | that means more needs to be written | 08:30 |
| boredandblogging | did a read and made some minor changes | 08:30 |
| boredandblogging | ahh, ok | 08:30 |
| Burgundavia | boredandblogging: still editing? | 08:48 |
| Burgundavia | poningru: need help with getting that information? | 08:49 |
| boredandblogging | no | 08:49 |
| Burgundavia | would you mind getting the 6.10 and 6.06 information? | 08:51 |
| boredandblogging | me? | 08:51 |
| Burgundavia | sure | 08:52 |
| Burgundavia | do you know how to get it | 08:52 |
| boredandblogging | i can do it if someone points me where to look | 08:52 |
| Burgundavia | ? | 08:52 |
| Burgundavia | I can do it for now | 08:52 |
| Burgundavia | do you want to do the bugs stuff? | 08:52 |
| boredandblogging | same thing, where do I need to look? :-) | 08:53 |
| Burgundavia | the bugs are easier | 08:54 |
| boredandblogging | i imagine its somewhere on launchpad | 08:54 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 08:54 |
| Burgundavia | look at last weeks numbers in teh UWN | 08:54 |
| Burgundavia | and then look at this weeks | 08:54 |
| boredandblogging | ok | 08:55 |
| Burgundavia | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs | 08:55 |
| boredandblogging | fyi, the security update links are broken in Issue32 because of the new ubuntu site | 08:59 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 09:07 |
| Burgundavia | and the whole site is down right now | 09:07 |
| boredandblogging | ahh | 09:08 |
| Burgundavia | we only need the bug stats now | 09:08 |
| Burgundavia | and then we can pass to beuno for the last bits when he gets up | 09:09 |
| boredandblogging | done with stats | 09:12 |

| tsmithe | <tsmithe> who is in charge of planet ubuntu? | 08:54 |
| tsmithe | <tsmithe> are they aware of http://ubuntu-linux.withishow.com/ ? | 08:54 |
| tsmithe | <tsmithe> i don't feel comfortable with them taking the feed and spitting it out with adverts, and generating revenue on that | 08:54 |
| tsmithe | <tsmithe> i didn't realise that by consenting to being aggregated by planet ubuntu, my work would be exploited elsewhere | 08:54 |
| Admiral_Chicago | tsmithe: Canonical is in charge of it afaik | 08:55 |
| tsmithe | ok | 08:55 |
| Admiral_Chicago | not sure who to contact, that frustrates me as well | 08:56 |
| tsmithe | i'm on it | 08:56 |
| === PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Admiral_Chicago | tsmithe: let me know what happens | 08:56 |
| tsmithe | sure | 08:56 |
| juliux | tsmithe, try it with the general admin list | 08:58 |
| tsmithe | general admin list? | 08:59 |
| tsmithe | could we continue the discussion in -devel, please? | 08:59 |
| juliux | tsmithe, sure | 09:00 |
| beuno | tsmithe: I'm not sure you can prevent others from reproducins your feeds with RSS and all | 09:11 |
| tsmithe | i can try my best :) | 09:11 |
| tsmithe | i did *not* give them permission to distribute *my* copyrighted works | 09:11 |
| tsmithe | i am very pro open-source, but i still am entitled to *my* thoughts | 09:12 |
| beuno | ah, yes, maybe you can in a legal sense, just not in a "tecnical" sense :p | 09:12 |
| tsmithe | :) | 09:12 |
| elcasey | you should be using the GFDL anyway | 09:13 |
| PriceChild | beuno, The only reason for that site is to get hits onto adsense ;) | 09:13 |
| Admiral_Chicago | yep | 09:13 |
| PriceChild | I don't mind people aggregating me at all... | 09:13 |
| PriceChild | but this is just wrong :) | 09:13 |
| beuno | PriceChild: yeap, it's clear | 09:13 |
| beuno | maybe a nice C&D email? | 09:14 |
| tsmithe | that's what i'm in the middle of writing | 09:14 |
| Admiral_Chicago | tsmithe: will you CC me, freddymartinez9@ubuntu.com | 09:15 |
| beuno | and argentina@gmail | 09:15 |
| tsmithe | sure | 09:15 |
| tsmithe | i'll just post it on my blog | 09:15 |
| beuno | aaah | 09:15 |
| beuno | much better | 09:15 |
| jenda | tsmithe: a bit of free spirit, dude... | 09:15 |
| beuno | it'll go straight into there site | 09:16 |
| jenda | tsmithe: you should GPL your stuff :) | 09:16 |
| tsmithe | i don't want them making revenue, when i'm not :) | 09:16 |
| tsmithe | jenda, i GPL my code, but not my blog posts :) | 09:16 |
| jenda | jealous bastard ;) | 09:16 |
| PriceChild | lol | 09:16 |
| elcasey | aye | 09:16 |
| tsmithe | they are *only* representative of me | 09:16 |
| elcasey | you should GFDL your blog posts, as I said | 09:16 |
| jenda | tsmithe: and does that make sense? | 09:16 |
| tsmithe | yes | 09:16 |
| tsmithe | !ohmy | jenda | 09:16 |
| elcasey | i'm switching my site to GFDL from CC...but I don't run ads, either. | 09:16 |

| beuno | hmmm, I don't know... are they part od the community or "canonical"? | 09:33 |
| jenda | something in between, i'd say. | 09:33 |
| Admiral_Chicago | beuno: desktop effects team? | 09:34 |
