| jenda | yo, Mike_F | 11:22 |
|---|---|---|
| Mike_F | jenda:hey, up early today | 11:25 |
| jenda | Mike_F: some memory at the back of my mind is telling me you were supposed to receive something from the post office - did that happen? :) | 11:26 |
| Mike_F | jenda: yes i got them last week | 11:31 |
| Mike_F | i thought that i ket you know i guess i forgot | 11:31 |
| Mike_F | jenda: the posters are cool, did you design them? | 11:33 |
| jenda | Mike_F: nah, you likely did let me know, and I forgot :) | 11:34 |

| jenda | I didn't - Hannes Pasqualini did, on my order :) | 11:34 |
| Mike_F | i always liked the information highway concept for the internet | 11:35 |
| Mike_F | jenda: what type of resources are available to let regular people know about ubuntu ? | 11:39 |
| === zerbero_1 [n=jga@p213.54.17.7.tisdip.tiscali.de] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| Mike_F | if there aren't any maybe that is something that I can help contribute to. | 11:44 |
| Mike_F | At least from an (East Coast) American point of view | 11:45 |
| jenda | hmm | 12:12 |
| jenda | Mike_F: that's a difficult question :) | 12:13 |
| jenda | Mike_F: and it's the one question the MT is here to answer. | 12:13 |
| jenda | However... it's not simple ;) | 12:13 |
| jenda | There is no way, I think, to let _regular_/average people know. | 12:13 |
| jenda | You need some spark of interest on their side, first. | 12:13 |
| jenda | That could be generated by outdoor advertising: posters, stickers, shirts, simply seeing the logo or the OS itself somewhere. | 12:26 |
| jenda | Once you've got that, you need to be able to give them info on the pros and cons of using Ubuntu. | 12:26 |
| jenda | And lastly, you have to help them use it - that's documentation and support land, not marketing. | 12:27 |
| Mike_F | jenda: true support is the keyword for what a consulting business is | 12:34 |
| Mike_F | everything else is marketing | 12:34 |
| Mike_F | as an engineer, marketing is something that i have learned from "the street" | 12:35 |
| Mike_F | jenda: i am going to let some regular people know about ubuntu in Orlando Fla. at my chamber of commerce leads group | 12:48 |
| jenda | sweet | 12:48 |

| boredandblogging | beuno: thanks for the help | 04:53 |
| beuno | boredandblogging: you earned it, no help needed :D | 04:53 |
| loudmouthman | Right , whilst I await Daviey in the meeting , I want to go back to my question yesterday. Im interested in discussing how we can market Ubuntu to SMEs. Ive been doing OSS evengelism for the last 8 years to SMEs and now and it always seems to break down to Enterprise or Desktop . | 05:04 |
| loudmouthman | Im wondering if I have missed a core segment of the marketing statement that deals with engagement of SMEs or am i buzzwording <grin> | 05:05 |
| boredandblogging | loudmouthman: what does an SME need thats not on the ubuntu server? I'm asking because I'm not really sure whats on the server edition exactly | 05:14 |
| loudmouthman | oh im talking about Desktop delivery though. | 05:14 |
| loudmouthman | ive actually got a few SMEs paying me to install or dual boot there machines and set them up, plus Jo Miller from Certain shops has had to be dropped in at the deep end and use it. | 05:15 |
| loudmouthman | the core issue is Business managers and Management Consultants dont like something they cant sell into ( e.g. OSS ) where as they can get traction and feel good factors from MS and Apple. | 05:16 |
| boredandblogging | ahh, I see | 05:17 |
| loudmouthman | Down here in sunny sussex UK I can sell IT support and Ubuntu Servers till the cows come home but selling Desktops is another matter. And pretty much all the case and conversations are based around Enterprise or Ma and Pa delivery. | 05:18 |
| loudmouthman | So I am wondering about kicking off a Ubuntu SME delivery project to get the conversation going about SME delivery and implementation | 05:29 |

| nixternal | muhehehe | 08:27 |
| jenda | It should be feasable to make A0 posters... I mean, the fonts are resisable, and the illustration should have enough resolution. | 08:28 |
| jenda | The bigger a poster, the less dpi it needs... an A0 does not need more than 100-150 dpi to look good. | 08:28 |
| jenda | I'll check if I can export a pdf with max resolution... | 08:28 |
| jenda | That was a quote ^ | 08:28 |
| nixternal | I want my cloak to say @debian/ubuntu/fsf/member/pdpc.whatever.active/nixternal | 08:28 |
