mdkehiya. Anyone working on UWN, I'd appreciate a reply to my mail of 9 April -  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-marketing/2007-April/001810.html04:06
jendahmm04:30
jendamdke: Have you read the discussion titled 'french addons to the UWN'?04:31
jendamdke: perhaps we'd more appreciate if you added your italian bits to the main UWN instead of making a seperate, edited version.04:32

poningruI never check the fridge06:06
juliuxnixternal, we will make polo and t-shirts again, this time black and navy blue ones06:06
nixternalbigger too right?06:06
juliuxnixternal, ??06:06
nixternalthe 2x was to small06:06
juliuxnixternal, ohh06:06
juliuxnixternal, we will make from S up to 4xl this time06:07
nixternallenght wise, and was a little tight in the arms06:07
nixternaljuliux: you make them that size, I will order more :)06:07
juliuxnixternal, we can make 4xl or 3xl but we need a reservation for this sizes until the first of may06:08
juliuxnixternal, same for black shirts06:08
nixternal4xl might be to much for me, but I think I would get one or two for my old man, and take the the 3xl for myself06:09
nixternalso 2 4xl one blue one black, and 2 3xl one blue one black06:09
nixternalpolos06:09
nixternalI might have you through in a t-shirt or 2 as well06:09
nixternalso you can count on me for a couple06:10
juliuxnixternal, you can also ask your local ubuntu group;)06:10
mdkejenda: sorry, that doesn't make sense to me. The italian version is not something which is appropriate for the international community, but it includes the best parts of the international uwn. It's essentially uwn, localised06:10
juliuxthe only thing is i need a e-mail until the first of may, because we have to order them on the second may06:10
nixternalya, them guys aren't big, and our one big guy I am affraid probably couldn't even fit in the 4xl06:10
nixternalAdmiral_Chicago: ^^ juliux is making more shirts06:10
MenZajuliux: what are the prices of polo shirts, t-shirts and business shirts?06:11
nixternaljuliux: you think you can make a pricelist up so I can just post it and let my monkeys look at it ;)06:11
nixternalbusiness shirts?06:11
nixternalwhat???R#$#06:11
mdkejenda: currently, the UWN has a link to an italian translation which is essentially duplicating effort and creating the problem that we have to keep contacting those translators individually to help them contribute to the italian community's newsletter06:11
mdkejenda: I'm simply asking the link be changed06:11
jendamdke: kk06:11
juliuxnixternal, oh yes i forgot it is also possible to get some business shirts06:12
nixternaljenda: that mdke guy is everywhere!06:12
jendamdke: the link should definitely be changed, yes06:12
juliuxMenZa, t-shirt 10, polo 15, business 2006:12
nixternaljuliux: damn you, so that means I will have to buy more06:12
juliuxnixternal, what is your e-mail adress? i will send you a summery06:12
nixternaljuliux: those prices, they don't cover 2xl through 4xl though correct?06:12
nixternalnixternal@ubuntu.com06:12
juliuxnixternal, correct06:12
nixternaldo that, I am going to go out and enjoy the weather a little bit06:12
juliuxnixternal, i will write you an mail with all the details06:12
jendajuliux: could you CC me, please? :)06:13
nixternaljuliux: ya, put each size there, and then I will fire that off to my guys and try and do a 1 order bit with you06:13
juliuxjenda, ok06:13
nixternalwell, maybe multiple so we don't have to pay that tax crap06:13
jendajuliux: what's the price on XXL, XXXL and XXXXL?06:13
nixternaljenda: did you buy one of the shirts last time?06:13
juliuxjenda, hm wait a moment06:13
jendanixternal: oh yes06:14
nixternalman, they are top quality and I couldn't believe the price06:14
=== jenda hm waits a moment :)

MenZaall being printed in black and blue, juliux?06:14
jendanixternal: I could easily believe the price.... but the quality was well worth it ;)06:14
mdkejenda: right. Who can do that? (I've now seen the thread about the french add-ons, I'll reply on list)06:14
nixternalk, I am going to go enjoy the hot weather in Chicago which is odd since it just snowed last week06:14
jendanixternal: I got two ;)06:14
jendamdke: you can06:14
juliuxMenZa, not printed, it is a stickery;06:14

mdkesure06:16
mdkeponingru: thanks06:16
juliuxMenZa, it is a embroidery not printed06:16
MenZabut all will be available as black and blue, correct?06:16

juliuxjenda, a stitchery it mixed it with the german word;906:16
juliuxMenZa, yes06:16
MenZagood, good06:16
mdkeI think we can change the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter link too, to point at the landing page for the italian edition06:16

juliuxjenda, sure06:20
jendajuliux: I think it should be a big help advertising.06:21
jendajuliux: any chance the prices might go down with the number of orders going up?06:21
mdkeponingru: :)06:21
juliuxjenda, i can try it if i have the total number06:21
jendajuliux: in the thread, you can also appeal on the buyers to contact their LoCo and see if it's getting any in bulk.06:21
jendahowgh06:21
jendamdke, poningru - I don't think changing the link should get any yells.06:22
mdkeI'm happy to take yells06:22
juliuxjenda, we allready get a damn good price there, the normal shops in germany which are selling foss shirts want 20 for a poloshirt so we are 5 under there price06:22
jendamdke, poningru - however, it should be considered in the light of the discussion on the ML06:22
jendajuliux: cool06:22
mdkeyes, I'm replying now to that06:22

randomwalkerafter a couple of hours of using feisty, my thought was "damn, this doesn't feel like linux"09:41
randomwalkernone of the fist pounding, the head banging09:41
randomwalkerdidn't really need the command line09:42
randomwalkerso i was wondering ubuntu should be branded as ubuntu, and deemphasize the linux part09:43
randomwalkerany thoughts?09:43
jendarandomwalker: we've already been saying it's "Ubuntu" not "Ubuntu Linux" for years ;)09:45
randomwalkeroh, i understand that09:46
randomwalkerbut somehow the average person isn't getting the message09:46
randomwalkerit's just thought of as "just another linux distro"09:46
randomwalkereveryone seems to ask "so why is this one any different"09:47
randomwalkeri don't know how to fight that perception, but i think it's important to09:47
tsmithewell, it gets an awful lot more mainstream press coverage than any other distro09:47
randomwalkerok09:48

jendarandomwalker: emphasize 'for human beings' ;)09:56
jendaI know what you mean - it's just not easy to get the point accross09:56
jendahell, I'm having trouble getting the Czech LoCo understanding that :?09:57
jenda:/09:57
randomwalkerok, here's a sad story09:59
randomwalkerdon't worry, it's on topic09:59
randomwalkerat my school, the admins are evil09:59
jendaquiz in a minute :)09:59
randomwalkeri mean, pure evil. you'll see shortly09:59
randomwalkerthey have ubuntu installed on all the school machines09:59
jendarandomwalker: join us in #ubuntu-trivia and win 5 stickers </spam> ;)09:59
randomwalkerwhich is great, right?10:00
randomwalkerexcept they all run fvwm210:00
randomwalkermost of the students (and faculty) don't know any better10:00
randomwalkerand think that's what linux looks like10:00
randomwalkerit hurts me physically every time i see thi10:01
randomwalkerthis10:01
randomwalkersometimes someone will walk past my gnome desktop10:01
randomwalkerthey are struck by its simplicity and will ask, 'hey, how do do that'10:01
randomwalkerbut most use fvwm2 the whole time, and suffer through it10:02
randomwalkeranyway, my point is, this hurts ubuntu branding10:02
jendaouch10:02
randomwalkerall these people are going to think that's what ubuntu looks like10:02
randomwalkerfree software, gpl and all that, but we can exercise control over the brand, right?10:02
randomwalkerif you want to call it ubuntu you have to run gnome as default10:02
randomwalkerkubuntu/kde 10:03
randomwalkeretc10:03
randomwalker?10:03
jendacorrect10:03
jendayou should10:03
randomwalkersorry, i should what?10:04
jendaerm, run gnome as default if you call it Ubuntu10:07
randomwalkerreally? is that like, enforceable?10:09
randomwalkeri mean, is there a rule somewhere that i can point at these people?10:09
tsmitheyou can't bloody enforce it unless you remove packages from repos10:10
tsmitheor separate repos out10:10
tsmithewhich is sad, i agree10:10
tsmitheand i feel your pain10:10
tsmithejust make a huge fuss on showing off your gnome10:10
randomwalkeri remember something like this with firefox10:11
randomwalkerdebian couldn't call it firefox for some reason10:11
tsmithehow did the sysadmins install ubuntu without seeing gnome, and liking it?10:11
randomwalkeroh, these people are from the 70s10:11
randomwalkerthey are totally command line unix people10:11
randomwalkerthey only care about two things10:12
tsmitheso they installed ubuntu server + fvwm2?10:12
jendarandomwalker: well, if you want to distribute something that doesn't run with gnome, that would be enforceable10:12
randomwalkersecurity (by which they really mean covering their asses)10:12
jendarandomwalker: however, just having it running somewhere... I'm afraid not.10:12
tsmithejenda, but distributing over a network doesn't count10:12
randomwalkerand how easy it is for them to do daily admin tasks10:12
randomwalkeri see. ok10:12
jendatsmithe: well, depends...10:12
randomwalkerit does have gnome installed10:12
randomwalkerits just no one knows how to run it10:12
tsmithejenda, in a school? i hardly think it does?10:12
jendaI guess you could try ;) Lawyers are good at that type of thing.... but do you want to go there.10:12
tsmithe*no ?10:12
randomwalkerbecause it doesn't even run x by default, you hvae to login in from the terminal and type startx, which takes you to fvwm210:13
tsmithe:S10:13
randomwalkergnome requires messing with .xinitrc10:13
tsmithethat is insane10:13
randomwalkerno way they're going to do that10:13
randomwalkeryeah, i know10:13
randomwalkeronly reason i'm running gnome is that i've been messing with xinitrc since circa 1999 so i know how to do it :)10:14
tsmithehow sad10:15
