nixternalBurgwork: can you get that Ubuntu banner for LoCos sent so I can have it by Friday? :)06:53
nixternaljeesh06:53
Admiral_Chicagoyea...we kind of found out last minute about this conference...gotta run it07:28
Admiral_Chicagorush now to get our act together*07:29
Admiral_Chicagowell our act is together. materials are what we lack07:29
Burgworknixternal: huh?07:30
nixternalBurgwork: we have an open source conference this weekend, and it just started out as Ubuntu Chicago going to see the talks07:30
nixternalwell, today, thursday, 1 day until the event starts07:31
Burgworknixternal: right. I have no banner07:31
Burgworkwe discussed it, but it got no further than that07:31
nixternalthey have given us tables, we are speaking, doing battle of the distros07:31
nixternalBurgwork: ya, I was just joking as well with that since it would be impossible to get it in time07:31
nixternalUIC just took a huge hit in my book for their even planning07:31
Burgworkactually, if you got it printed in chicago, no it is not07:31
nixternalBurgwork: To print a decent sized banner and have it for tomorrow, we are talking quite a few hundred bucks07:32
Admiral_Chicagodefinetly07:32
Burgworkyep07:32
nixternalI will just draw the Ubuntu logo on my belly07:32
Admiral_Chicagowe could do it too, sent it to some place dowtown07:32
Burgworkhehe07:32
Admiral_Chicagoi could even pick it up, I'll be down there...07:32
Burgworkwell, lets put together a list of events it can go to, and then sell the idea to Canonical07:32
nixternalAdmiral_Chicago: the problem isn't really with the actual printing, that is an hour, it is the setting they have to do that will kill us07:33
Admiral_Chicagosetting means? grahic work?07:33
nixternalyup07:33
nixternalthey would have to rush the screening process, which isn't all that great at times07:34
nixternalI just bought new signs for the LUG, 4 of them for $100, and it took them a few weeks07:34
Admiral_Chicagoah yea. I know. even if we give them the svg, they would have to do their stuff to it07:34
nixternalI am glad I kept a stash of CDs though, so we won't look to stupid07:35
nixternalsee, what did I tell you 2 months ago about Samir and his cronies?07:35
Admiral_Chicagoyup, I believed you07:35
Burgworkanyway, I am off07:36
Admiral_Chicagoi just thought you had a banner and other conference material07:36
nixternalnope07:36

muxecoidHi11:28
urbanfHi!11:28
muxecoidHelp us develop Linux marketing wiki at http://windowspersonas.com/wiki.pl11:28
boredandblogginghello11:28
urbanfOk, I will think about it. Let me see!11:29
muxecoidAnd marketing-related note: Ubuntu is extremely slow when working in LiveCD mode, it would be nice to show a big warning message explaining that it slow only as LiveCD, slowness of LiveCD may scare Windows users and they may think, that it is general slowness of everything Ubuntu.11:34
urbanfI agree with You11:36
urbanfBut I don't belong to the Marketing Team11:36
ScottKAre you (the marketing people) still looking for articles for Team/Feature of the week for UWN 35?11:36
urbanfYou should put your ideia on the Wiki11:36
urbanfI think so, at least I see that reference in the mailing list of the team11:37
boredandbloggingScottK, yes we are11:37
=== muxecoid is not familiar with ubuntu wiki conventions
ScottKboredandblogging: How long an article?  11:38
ScottKI can maybe do something up on why I selected Ubuntu server for my mail servers?11:38
boredandbloggingthats not really the purpose of the team/feature of the week...more along the lines of some group who is doing something to support or advocate Ubuntu or maybe some interesting feature that will be part of feisty11:39
boredandbloggingScottK, that probably belongs in the magazine11:40
ScottKNew mail server related features in Feisty?11:41
boredandbloggingScottK, thats a possibility11:41
ScottKboredandblogging: How long?11:41
ScottKboredandblogging: And have you got a sample article in a previous UWN you could point me at for style?11:42
boredandbloggingScottK, hold on11:43
boredandbloggingits usually just been a paragraph long11:44
boredandblogginghttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue32#head-39c1603b834abc7bce17878d9a208e4b16689aed11:44
boredandblogginghttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue33#head-f9f6b30665e448fe5f6f1bd529bb7ec19ff3cbb811:45
ScottKThose are team of the week.  Feature of the week would be similar length/style, but about something new you can do in Feisty?11:47
ScottKboredandblogging: ^^^   Also, when are you looking for stuff for the magazine by?11:47
muxecoidNot sure that it is marketing related, but still... It would be cool to expand the set of pre-installed wallpaper with photos of real animals (at least penguins) and put it as screenshot on http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/desktopedition . Most people love animals. :)11:48
ScottKI've got to run.  I'll read the scrollback later.11:49
boredandbloggingScottK, the marketing team isn't handling the magazine directly, you might want to check the thread on UF11:52
