[02:00] <jenda> hehe
[02:01] <jenda> I just came back from a walk in 0 night Prague in a t-shirt
[02:01] <jenda> I'm not sleepy ;)
[02:01] <jenda> Wait - not a t-shirt. An Ubuntu polo :)
[02:01] <jenda> that sure kept me warm.
[02:02] <meatballhat> very niiiice   :)
[02:02] <jenda> so beuno said he done his bit, is that true?
[02:04] <meatballhat> jenda: that's right ... the current site is in a wonderful state of ugliness ;-)  ... have you looked?
[02:04] <jenda> yes :)
[02:05] <jenda> I tried to go over it with beuno, but we kinda agreed I should prolly go over it with you, rather, to polish the looks :)
[02:05] <meatballhat> indeed ... I'm your graphics department ;-)     ... :P
[02:05] <jenda> :)
[02:07] <jenda> Thalanox: here
[02:07] <Thalanox> yup :)
[02:07] <jenda> Thalanox: so, are you looking for material to print out or ready made material to buy? (we have all sorts of logos and maybe there are some shirts around)
[02:07] <jenda> Nik Butler in the UK has shirts, I believe.
[02:08] <Thalanox> hmm...
[02:08] <jenda> I'm still not sure what you're after ;)
[02:08] <Thalanox> something that would work for a booth in a fair. I know thats a very vague description, but I haven't been to many fairs or conventions
[02:08] <jenda> I have posters and stickers - and there's a lot available for print here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing
[02:09] <Thalanox> *clicked*
[02:09] <jenda> You can also request a conference pack from Canonical, but that would probably be only given to Ubuntu-specific booths
[02:10] <Thalanox> so that would be canonical.com?
[02:10] <Thalanox> yes it is.
[02:11] <jenda> err
[02:11] <Thalanox> I'm trying to find out where I can find the conference pack info.
[02:11] <jenda> info about the conference pack is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences
[02:11] <jenda> hehe
[02:11] <Thalanox> oh
[02:11] <Thalanox> lol
[02:12] <Thalanox> thanks
[02:12] <jenda> :)
[02:12] <jenda> no prob
[02:12] <jenda> meatballhat: I'll be doing a session about the Marketing Team on the Ubnutu Open Week
[02:12] <jenda> you can help, if you like :)
[02:12] <meatballhat> jenda: when?  where?   hoh??   /me is in LoCo meeting right now   ;-)

[02:14] <Thalanox> Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
[02:14] <meatballhat> Thalanox: w00t for ubuntu-ca  ;-)

[02:16] <Burgwork> meatballhat: why not in -ca?
[02:21] <boredandblogging> anyone know whats going to the be community spotlight for the UWN?
[02:34] <meatballhat> Burgwork: huh?   why not w00t in -ca?   :)   ... for the sake of diversity, or whatever  ;-)
[02:36] <boredandblogging> whats up adamant1988 
[02:36] <adamant1988> boredandblogging: not too much
[02:36] <adamant1988> looking at some news from Novell.
[02:36] <adamant1988> I have to respect this writer.
[02:37] <boredandblogging> what article?
[02:37] <adamant1988> boredandblogging: I'll get you the link momentarily
[02:38] <adamant1988> the basic summary of the article is "Did we make this deal to: Compete with Red Hat? Yes.  To promote SuSE? Yes.   Which is what we have all been thinking
[02:39] <adamant1988> http://www.novell.com/prblogs/?p=315
[02:40] <boredandblogging> interesting
[04:37] <freelancer317> boredandblogging, are there any articles that need to be written for UWN #35?
[06:53] <nixternal> Burgwork: can you get that Ubuntu banner for LoCos sent so I can have it by Friday? :)
[06:53] <nixternal> jeesh
[07:28] <Admiral_Chicago> yea...we kind of found out last minute about this conference...gotta run it
[07:29] <Admiral_Chicago> rush now to get our act together*
[07:29] <Admiral_Chicago> well our act is together. materials are what we lack
[07:30] <Burgwork> nixternal: huh?
[07:30] <nixternal> Burgwork: we have an open source conference this weekend, and it just started out as Ubuntu Chicago going to see the talks
[07:31] <nixternal> well, today, thursday, 1 day until the event starts
[07:31] <Burgwork> nixternal: right. I have no banner
[07:31] <Burgwork> we discussed it, but it got no further than that
[07:31] <nixternal> they have given us tables, we are speaking, doing battle of the distros
[07:31] <nixternal> Burgwork: ya, I was just joking as well with that since it would be impossible to get it in time
[07:31] <nixternal> UIC just took a huge hit in my book for their even planning
[07:31] <Burgwork> actually, if you got it printed in chicago, no it is not
[07:32] <nixternal> Burgwork: To print a decent sized banner and have it for tomorrow, we are talking quite a few hundred bucks
[07:32] <Admiral_Chicago> definetly
[07:32] <Burgwork> yep
[07:32] <nixternal> I will just draw the Ubuntu logo on my belly
[07:32] <Admiral_Chicago> we could do it too, sent it to some place dowtown
[07:32] <Burgwork> hehe
[07:32] <Admiral_Chicago> i could even pick it up, I'll be down there...
[07:32] <Burgwork> well, lets put together a list of events it can go to, and then sell the idea to Canonical
[07:33] <nixternal> Admiral_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 us
[07:33] <Admiral_Chicago> setting means? grahic work?
[07:33] <nixternal> yup
[07:34] <nixternal> they would have to rush the screening process, which isn't all that great at times
[07:34] <nixternal> I just bought new signs for the LUG, 4 of them for $100, and it took them a few weeks
[07:34] <Admiral_Chicago> ah yea. I know. even if we give them the svg, they would have to do their stuff to it
[07:35] <nixternal> I am glad I kept a stash of CDs though, so we won't look to stupid
[07:35] <nixternal> see, what did I tell you 2 months ago about Samir and his cronies?
[07:35] <Admiral_Chicago> yup, I believed you
[07:36] <Burgwork> anyway, I am off
[07:36] <Admiral_Chicago> i just thought you had a banner and other conference material
[07:36] <nixternal> nope
[07:37] <Admiral_Chicago> grr, we seriously needed better information about this thing
[09:34] <juliux> hi mindspin 
[11:49] <jenda> l4
[11:54] <MenZa> 15
[11:56] <jenda> MenZa: that was l4
[11:56] <jenda> MenZa: which was meant to be /4
[11:57] <jenda> MenZa: which means, I was trying to go to a channel much more important than this one, because it is /12
[11:57] <jenda> ;)
[11:57] <MenZa> :o
[12:14] <jenda> MenZa: since I can only access #s with the super key pressed, it wouldn't be very practical... and I also have 68 windows open.
[12:14] <MenZa> :o
[12:14] <jenda> and since I use the dvorak, teh bindings set on qwertyouip aren't of much use either :-D
[12:17] <MenZa> :O
[12:29] <jenda> :)
[11:28] <muxecoid> Hi
[11:28] <urbanf> Hi!
[11:28] <muxecoid> Help us develop Linux marketing wiki at http://windowspersonas.com/wiki.pl
[11:28] <boredandblogging> hello
[11:29] <urbanf> Ok, I will think about it. Let me see!
[11:34] <muxecoid> And 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.
[11:36] <urbanf> I agree with You
[11:36] <urbanf> But I don't belong to the Marketing Team
[11:36] <ScottK> Are you (the marketing people) still looking for articles for Team/Feature of the week for UWN 35?
[11:36] <urbanf> You should put your ideia on the Wiki
[11:37] <urbanf> I think so, at least I see that reference in the mailing list of the team
[11:37] <boredandblogging> ScottK, yes we are
[11:38] <ScottK> boredandblogging: How long an article?  
[11:38] <ScottK> I can maybe do something up on why I selected Ubuntu server for my mail servers?
[11:39] <boredandblogging> thats 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 feisty
[11:40] <boredandblogging> ScottK, that probably belongs in the magazine
[11:41] <ScottK> New mail server related features in Feisty?
[11:41] <boredandblogging> ScottK, thats a possibility
[11:41] <ScottK> boredandblogging: How long?
[11:42] <ScottK> boredandblogging: And have you got a sample article in a previous UWN you could point me at for style?
[11:43] <boredandblogging> ScottK, hold on
[11:44] <boredandblogging> its usually just been a paragraph long
[11:44] <boredandblogging> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue32#head-39c1603b834abc7bce17878d9a208e4b16689aed
[11:45] <boredandblogging> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue33#head-f9f6b30665e448fe5f6f1bd529bb7ec19ff3cbb8
[11:47] <ScottK> Those 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] <ScottK> boredandblogging: ^^^   Also, when are you looking for stuff for the magazine by?
[11:48] <muxecoid> Not 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. :)
[11:49] <ScottK> I've got to run.  I'll read the scrollback later.
[11:52] <boredandblogging> ScottK, the marketing team isn't handling the magazine directly, you might want to check the thread on UF
[11:53] <boredandblogging> ScottK, post and find out on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=396003
