=== adamant1988 [n=chatzill@doc-24-206-202-2.el.wv.cebridge.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Ukubuntu [n=chatzill@84-12-80-5.dyn.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === lotusleaf [n=drywind@kernel-panic/member/carne.asada.burrito] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [01:35] Hello all I have a marketing idea but I am not sure if it has been pursued before. Distributing through a popular weekend newspaper. [01:36] Ukubuntu: You mean like a newspaper ad? [01:37] 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? [01:39] 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 [01:40] 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 === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [01:41] It would be best to be the i386 LiveCD in my mind, as this will appeal to the most users. [01:46] 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 === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [01:47] Ukubuntu: I like that idea [01:48] They don't send them here, but that's something your LoCo team might be able to arrange [01:49] 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 [01:50] Though I heard MS is more concerned about Goole than Linux! what a twist! [01:50] Google [01:51] who cares about MS [01:51] FOSS is the future [01:51] unless you're talking about MS the disease [01:51] I care enough not to alienate it's users before they understand the benefit of Linux [01:51] :P [01:53] No one said anything about the users, which is why my site has links to aid those users [01:53] :) [01:53] regarding a magazine distributing an ubuntu cd, wouldn't it just be a matter of contacting said magazine and inquiring? [01:53] sorry, shot myself in the foot :$ [01:54] Ukubuntu: Our papers here don't distribute CDs like that [01:54] unfortunately [01:54] I have already started ;) [01:54] cool [01:54] be sure to subscribe to the marketing mailing list [01:54] I tried the sunday telegraph and if no response plan to go onto the Times [01:55] Want to read what I wrote? [01:55] whats the pastebin link? [01:55] /msg ubotu !pastebin [01:55] thks [01:56] np [01:58] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11925/ [01:59] Thats an email I sent them. I hope it reads OK, comments welcome [01:59] you may need to wordwrap :) === BHSPitMonkey [n=stephen@67.64.145.227] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [03:08] 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 [03:09] I had a guy give an interesting reason for not using Linux or OSS on Thursday [03:09] he said he "just didn't trust software from the internet...I want a brand name." [03:10] errr, "Ubuntu", and get it via ShipIT [03:10] 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] i.e. he wanted to use Microsoft's network monitoring software, even though he admitted it was garbage [03:10] but he didn't "trust" an OSS solution === elcasey is now known as elcasey_ === elcasey_ is now known as elcasey [03:17] elcasey: IMO the Ubuntu.com site now goes a long way towards doing that [03:17] 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] but i don't think people like that go out surfing for linux sites, you know? [03:17] elcasey: the point is you can direct them to it, the site is well done and professional [03:17] the instructor is very pro-OSS, so I think we'll wear this guy down by the end of the semester ;) [03:17] elcasey: They do after they try to use their iPod on Vista [03:17] adamant1988: hahah, well put :) [03:17] hehehe [03:18] iTunes *still* doesn't work in Vista? Wow... [03:18] However, I think Canonical does need a way to take advantage of all the home users [03:18] 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 [03:19] I think part of the challenge of marketing any linux distribution is you need to alter how people think [03:19] good point [03:19] and I'm still not convinced that Linux is ready for the average computard's desktop [03:19] I am, feisty is absolutely care free. [03:20] I only touch the CLI when I want too, this is Linux made easy [03:20] i haven't used feisty yet [03:20] elcasey: keep in mind that all of the hard parts about Linux are equal or worse in non-OEM Windows [03:20] how is retail Windows any different than an OEM version? [03:20] I think one thing Ubuntu really needs to do is start actively involving itself with OEMs. [03:21] for *me*, I get frustrated now in Windows because CMD is a useless shell. [03:21] elcasey: retail windows has been set up to work on that hardware [03:21] elcasey: OEMs install all of the drivers and 3rd party apps [03:21] but *everything* has a Windows driver [03:21] You try installing just vanilla windows on a system and see what you get. [03:21] Starting from scratch is a _serious_ PITA [03:21] I've installed vanilla Windows on basically every computer I've had since 1992 [03:21] which is the last time I bought a machine built by anyone but me [03:22] I hated it, I had to put windows back on my lappy and in it's vanilla stage it was awful [03:22] tonyyarusso: but yeah, if I didn't have my wifi drivers on cd, forget it [03:22] but linux is the same...edgy doesn't support my wifi card out of the box (feisty does!) [03:22] elcasey: Yeah, pretty much. === tonyyarusso 's wifi worked in Hoary - take that === elcasey takes it [03:22] Anyway, I think if we're marketing Ubuntu we need to try to alter the way people consider it [03:22] my laptop works fine, it's an ipw2200 [03:23] but alas, they don't make PCI Centrino cards [03:23] Mine is BCM4318 :( [03:23] Mine's Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 a/b/g - works with ipw220 [03:23] 0 [03:23] Guys, perhaps we could take advantage of Youtube and other video sites to advertise Ubuntu? [03:24] there's loads of stuff on there currently...but you have to look for it [03:24] There just has to be a way to get more exposure [03:24] I wish we could create some kind of an actual incentives program [03:25] paid advertising is going to be a necessity [03:25] but certainly not an easy one, and what markets and who and how? [03:25] Eh, word of mouth is typically just more effective in my experience [03:25] Paid adverts just kick-start the word of mouth [03:26] 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) [03:28] those ads still have to be placed [03:28] Oh they do, but that's not a concern at this moment, I don't figure. [03:28] I think Ubuntu needs to be actively targeting small business [03:28] i wouldn't think so for this team, anyway...that's Canonical's issue [03:28] agreed [03:29] for work desktops, I think Linux is a smashing success [03:29] We're the marketing team, that's what we are supposed to think about [03:29] just use the apps for work, play a little Gnometris if you want, but *don't jack around with it* [03:29] The home user likes to fiddle [03:29] and break it, and cry, because they'll never be able to run 400 commands in the terminal xD [03:29] the point is that small businesses are more than 80% of the business in the United States. [03:30] whoa, i almost got all capitalist for a second [03:30] So they're the big market to try to go after. [03:30] i almost said, "But how to profit from Linux penetration?" o_0 [03:30] lol [03:30] it's because i haven't taken my drugs today, i'll bet :P === yama [n=yama@121.44.248.48] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [03:30] jenda: ping [03:30] but yeah, i really do think Ubuntu is both ready and advantageous for/to small business desktops. [03:31] adamant1988: no way. [03:31] I'm asleep. [03:31] jenda: Sorry, I'll ask later then [03:31] :) [03:31] a good groupware server is going to be imperative soon [03:31] is it quick? [03:31] but for now, that has to be Exchange [03:31] jenda: Well, how would you feel about starting some competitive articles and gearing more of our efforts towards the small businesses? [03:32] Feel free to. [03:32] I'm not gonna do it, though ;) [03:32] Ok, so you'll let me go on a tangent on the mailing list? [03:32] competitive articles? [03:33] 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] elcasey: "a" and "an" [03:33] competitive articles ;) [03:33] LOL [03:33] took me a second [03:33] adamant1988: feel free to expound all your ideas on the mailing list. [03:34] Some articles/information detailing why Ubuntu is a solid choice over other offerings would be needed. [03:34] unfortunately I think right now, small business just thinks, "Do I buy Vista or XP?" [03:34] adamant1988: keep in mind the 'reinvent the wheel' syndrome, though. [03:34] We have to figure out how to change that. [03:34] jenda: I'll make sure to keep that in mind [03:34] is there like a "checklist" flyer in existence? [03:34] Ticking off the major areas why Ubuntu rocks your face off? [03:34] 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] elcasey: I think some case studies with some exposure in the kinds of literature small businesses read is a good place to start. [03:35] I can probably get a bunch of businesses here locally to make that switch [03:35] Anything they can do to cut costs would make them happy [03:36] most businesses I've approached favor the savings they receive from switching to ubuntu and not having to pay for licenses [03:36] lotusleaf: indeed [03:36] once you tell them they can receive support from Canonical, it's all roses [03:37] good point [03:37] but that gets farmed out, no? [03:37] I think the first thing we should do is start actively going to these businesses and collecting information from them [03:37] elcasey: Canonical does it's own support contracts as well [03:37] developing a flyer aimed at businesses with this information in a slick looking way would be cool IMO [03:37] perhaps it already exists [03:38] I'm kind of interested in ways we can get to them though [03:38] What are businesses watching, reading, etc. [03:39] Once we know where we can get some exposure at no cost, we can go from there.. [03:40] sending out an emissary to various businesses at the grassroots level armed with flyers and information would be cool [03:41] lotusleaf: Perhaps we could talk to the Loco teams about this [03:41] is there a single piece of marketing material available (DIY like stuff) aimed at businesses? [03:41] The loco teams are a bit more mobile than we would be able to be [03:41] adamant1988, excellent point [03:41] Probably best to actively work with them on this [03:43] Do we have a launchpad where we can make specs for this stuff? [03:43] It would be a lot easier to coordinate our efforts with a freaking launchpad :( [03:43] jenda's the sage to ask [03:44] he's asleep [03:44] :/ [03:44] http://www.cbc.ca/technology/ [03:44] Look down [03:44] the Article about Ubuntu? [03:44] I read that [03:44] yeah - mainstream media, we have arrived! [03:44] :) [03:45] Ugh, stuff like this makes me sad that I want to use Fedora lol [03:45] I'd never go back to rpm [03:45] lotusleaf: that bad? [03:45] I haven't used it, ever. [03:45] adamant1988, you're in #ubuntuforums or #ubuntu-offtopic? [03:45] i'll take my response there ;) [03:45] lotusleaf: you can PM me === rexbron_ [n=rexbron@CPE001310b2d1d1-CM0012256e816a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyy [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === freelancer317 [n=chatzill@pool-71-251-145-4.hrbgpa.fios.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rexbron [n=rexbron@CPE001310b2d1d1-CM0012256e816a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === elcasey [n=ch@unaffiliated/elcasey] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === adamant1988 [n=chatzill@doc-24-206-202-2.el.wv.cebridge.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rrittenhouse [n=tad@unaffiliated/rrittenhouse] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === tonyy [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [06:12] hello [06:12] hi [06:14] anything need to be done on the UWN?
