[10:00] <Burgundavia> hey yarddog
[10:00] <juliux> hi Burgundavia
[10:01] <Burgundavia> jenda: ping

[10:02] <nixternal> oi, I am gonna miss this one...like you needed me anyways :) goin' out partying with debian developers..this should be scary
[10:02] <Burgundavia> heh
[10:02] <nixternal> holy smokes!
[10:03] <nixternal> I am missing johnlittle damnit!
[10:03] <johnlittle> not anymore
[10:03] <nixternal> hehe
[10:03] <nixternal> I am getting ready to leave...actually I am going to walk out the front door right now...back later, have a good meeting everyone and get some work done already ;)
[10:03] <nixternal> later
[10:03] <johnlittle> cya nix
[10:04] <Burgundavia> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Meetings
[10:04] <Burgundavia> right, well lets get going
[10:04] <Burgundavia> first, introductions, for those who are new
[10:06] <Burgundavia> johnlittle, ronnietucker ?
[10:06] <Burgundavia> right
[10:07] <Burgundavia> johnlittle runs ubuntuvideo and ronnietucker is the founder and chief editor of Full Circle
[10:07] <bapoumba> Hi everyone :)
[10:07] <Burgundavia> hey bapoumba
[10:07] <Burgundavia> I am moving past the first item until ronnietucker comes alive
[10:08] <Burgundavia> item 2: new way of sending information to the marketing
[10:08] <ronnietucker> sorry... present Sir!  :)
[10:08] <Burgundavia> ok
[10:08] <bapoumba> If you have one minute at the end of the meeting, Ill have a question
[10:08] <Burgundavia> hey highvoltage
[10:08] <highvoltage> hey Burgundavia
[10:08] <Burgundavia> the first item is really aimed at Full Circle
[10:09] <Burgundavia> I really want to figure out to get those common bits, the first one being interviews, done by a general Marketing team thing
[10:09] <Burgundavia> rather than lots of pestering potentially the same people
[10:09] <johnlittle> You mean a content team?
[10:10] <Burgundavia> for now I think we should just concentrate on interviews
[10:10] <ronnietucker> as long as we'd be allowed to submit a list of questions that'd be fine.
[10:10] <Burgundavia> completely
[10:10] <ronnietucker> fine by me.  :)
[10:10] <Burgundavia> the idea would be that a group of people, from FC, UWN, behindubuntu (when I restart it) would decide on who to interview and the questions
[10:11] <Burgundavia> I am happy to do it for the UWN and BU. ronnietucker: do you have somebody in mind for FC?
[10:11] <ronnietucker> what we've been doing at FC is just put on the forum and in the issue who we'll interview next time so that people can email in questions...
[10:11] <bapoumba> Burgundavia, one of the forums mods had suggested that
[10:11] <bapoumba> aysiu
[10:12] <Burgundavia> ahh
[10:12] <bapoumba> to get staff interveiws
[10:12] <ronnietucker> I can easily send our questions over...
[10:12] <bapoumba> yu might want to check with him
[10:12] <Burgundavia> sounds good
[10:12] <Burgundavia> bapoumba: will do
[10:12] <bapoumba> okay
[10:12] <bapoumba> he did it in the taff forum (not public)
[10:12] <Burgundavia> shall we create a wiki page, listing the next target for our interview and the questions?
[10:13] <Burgundavia> does that work for you, ronnietucker?
[10:14] <ronnietucker> yep, sounds good to me. Just let me know who I should email me questions to when you've got it going...  :)
[10:14] <ronnietucker> we have someone for #2 so our first list of questions would be sent in mid-July
[10:14] <Burgundavia> and where is a good place to talk about who we want to interview next?
[10:15] <Burgundavia> does the mailing list work for everybody?
[10:15] <ronnietucker> i'm good  :)
[10:15] <Burgundavia> excellent
[10:15] <Burgundavia> I trust you to get more of your FC people on the mailing list :)
[10:16] <Burgundavia> ACTION: create wiki page listing next interview target and questions
[10:16] <ronnietucker> if they don't join the mailing list, i can post info on the forums and/or send out a newsletter to all
[10:16] <Burgundavia> anything further to discuss on this topic?
[10:16] <Burgundavia> ok, moving on
[10:17] <Burgundavia> item 2: sending information to the marketing team
[10:17] <Burgundavia> basically, there is now an open mailing list for people to send their cool stories/etc, to the marketing team
[10:17] <Burgundavia> the email is marketing-team-submission@lists.ubuntu.com
[10:18] <Burgundavia> anybody can subscribe, anybody can send (even if they are not subscribed) and the archives are open
[10:18] <Burgundavia> please encourage any and all to send their stories to this list
[10:18] <bapoumba> is it necessary to go there before it makes it to UWN ?
[10:18] <Burgundavia> nope
[10:18] <bapoumba> okay
[10:18] <Burgundavia> add it straight if you want
[10:18] <lecaros> what about selection of stories?
[10:18] <bapoumba> thanks
[10:19] <Burgundavia> this is a virtual IN box
[10:19] <Burgundavia> story selection, editing, etc happens after it hits there
[10:20] <Burgundavia> for those who are downstream users of news (UWN, Fridge, FC), feel free to use the stuff from there
[10:20] <Burgundavia> any further questions?
[10:20] <bapoumba> nope
[10:20] <johnlittle> none here
[10:21] <Burgundavia> any ideas on how to publicize it further?
[10:21] <bapoumba> there is a sticky in the forums
[10:21] <ronnietucker> could certainly add it to issue #2 of FC... ?
[10:21] <Burgundavia> absolutely
[10:22] <bapoumba> and for UWN, a front page link
[10:22] <Burgundavia> yep, plan to add it to the next issue
[10:22] <bapoumba> (in the forums)
[10:22] <Burgundavia> right, anything further on this topic?
[10:24] <Burgundavia> mrmonday: care to introduce yourself?

[10:27] <ronnietucker> not to mention several translators
[10:27] <linuxgeekery> more than several
[10:28] <bapoumba> ronnietucker, there is a group of people translating it in French (I have not closely followed the stories, but theyare working ^^
[10:29] <Burgundavia> to help out with the magazine, where should people go?
[10:29] <ronnietucker> the wiki page has ideas, articles and the necessary files for translating each issue
[10:29] <ronnietucker> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine
[10:29] <linuxgeekery> there's a message about helping out on the website, too
[10:29] <mrmonday> !article
[10:29] <FCMBot> If you would like to write an article for Full Circle Magazine, see http://fullcirclemagazine.org/index.php?page=9
[10:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about article - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:29] <ronnietucker> we also have a forum for questions - http://www.fullcirclemagazine.org
[10:30] <mykalReborn> yeah, and if they want on http://fullcirclemagazine.org
[10:30] <mykalReborn> they can post on the forums if they want
[10:30] <Burgundavia> what about deadlines for issue 1 and 2?
[10:30] <mrmonday> !deadline
[10:30] <FCMBot> The deadline for issue #2 is the middle of June
[10:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about deadline - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:31] <janjimusptfj1> #1 thick mag :)
[10:31] <ronnietucker> issue 1 deadline has been reached, deadline for #2 is mid-June
[10:31] <Burgundavia> in terms of promoting issue 1, when is your timeline to get it out?
[10:31] <ronnietucker> issue #1 is being proof-read just now and hopefully #1 will be out by the very end of this month, if not, start of June at the latest
[10:32] <Burgundavia> anything that needs to be done with issue 1?
[10:32] <Burgundavia> ie: that the community can help out with?
[10:32] <linuxgeekery> I think all we're waiting on now is the interview (last time I checked)
[10:32] <ronnietucker> once I get the list of potential changes, i'll implement those and #1 will be ready for release...
[10:33] <Burgundavia> ok, cool
[10:33] <Burgundavia> anything else you want to mention?
[10:33] <ronnietucker> nothing I can think of right now...
[10:34] <Burgundavia> cool
[10:34] <linuxgeekery> not exactly related to marketing, but we now have a web IRC client (so people who don't know about XChat can join)
[10:34] <Burgundavia> ahh, interesting
[10:34] <linuxgeekery> irc.fullcirclemagazine.org
[10:34] <janjimusptfj1> sorry. i confuse between #ubuntu-meeting and #fullcirclemagazie. what different?
[10:35] <Burgundavia> this is a general marketing team meeting
[10:35] <Burgundavia> last item on the agenda is the new Canonical marketing person
[10:36] <Burgundavia> Christina, for those who knew here, left a month of so ago
[10:36] <linuxgeekery> << is gone for a few
[10:36] <lecaros> where can we join to translate FC?
[10:36] <Burgundavia> ronnietucker: ^
[10:36] <ronnietucker> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine
[10:36] <lecaros> sorry delay, but main page has not information about it
[10:38] <Burgundavia> lecaros: that answer your question?
[10:38] <lecaros> absolutely, thanks
[10:38] <lecaros> but i guess that information is important to be at FC webpage
[10:39] <mykalReborn> well, if no one needs me any more, i'll be out
[10:39] <mykalReborn> *mykalReborn thinks he's important or something...
[10:39] <Burgundavia> the one last piece is the new Canonical marketing person, Gerry Carr
[10:40] <Burgundavia> he has no Open Source experience, so there will be a learning curve
[10:40] <Burgundavia> speak of the devil
[10:40] <bapoumba> ho, whatis his background (if I may) ?
[10:40] <Burgundavia> he just joined -marketing so just a sec
[10:41] <bapoumba> ok
[10:41] <Burgundavia> hmm
[10:41] <Burgundavia> his background is marketing, just not tech
[10:43] <Burgundavia> basically, from my conversation with Chris Kenyon, Canonicals BizDev person, Canonical is really only interested in doing limited marketing, in large part because we rock so much
[10:44] <Burgundavia> they do the press releases for the big announcements and handle a lot of press contact
[10:44] <bapoumba> ok Burgundavia
[10:45] <linuxgeekery> press contact, as in magazines/websites...?
[10:45] <Burgundavia> yep
[10:45] <Burgundavia> however, local press is very much the loco teams thing
[10:46] <lecaros> Burgundavia, about last topic (LoCo teams)
[10:47] <Burgundavia> sure, while we wait for gerr1 to join
[10:47] <lecaros> we're working with some press agency here in Chile, but it's very difficult
[10:47] <Burgundavia> what is the challenging bit?
[10:48] <lecaros> we're showing xubuntu in very low hardware laptops
[10:48] <Burgundavia> hey gerr1
[10:49] <ronnietucker> hi gerr1
[10:50] <gerr1> evening all
[10:50] <gerr1> i was in the wrong room sorry I am so late
[10:50] <Burgundavia> no worries
[10:51] <Burgundavia> lecaros: lets chat afterwords
[10:51] <Burgundavia> gerr1: if you just want to introduce yourself and say a few bits about what Canonical is doing
[10:51] <lecaros> sure
[10:53] <gerr1> sure i am the new marketing manager for canonical working for silbs
[10:53] <gerr1> is there anything in particular you want to know about in terms of what we are up to
[10:53] <Burgundavia> silbs is Jane Silber, COO of Canonical
[10:54] <gerr1> there's a lot of stuff
[10:54] <Burgundavia> what amrketing projects is Canonical working on and how can the communtiy help with them?
[10:54] <Burgundavia> marketing, rather
[10:54] <gerr1> well there is definitely one - we are looking to radically improve the websites
[10:55] <gerr1> ubuntu.com and canonical.com
[10:56] <gerr1> anyone want to suggest some priorities on that
[10:56] <gerr1> things you'd like to see?
[10:56] <Burgundavia> from the Canonical people?
[10:56] <gerr1> on the sites
[10:56] <bapoumba> may be one
[10:57] <bapoumba> on the news link, a link to UWN ?
[10:57] <johnlittle> I'd love to see some video content there. The lack of that content is one of the reasons I created Ubuntu Video.
[10:58] <gerr1> yeah it's a bit static untilo you actually participate in the forums
[10:58] <Burgundavia> some of that has to do with what you want the website for
[10:59] <Burgundavia> maybe better linked to existing community resources, such as Ubuntu Video
[10:59] <gerr1> well it's not what I want it for. it's what the users want to find when they get there
[11:00] <gerr1> there are two types; the browsers and the enthusiasts
[11:00] <gerr1> the second group will dig and find all the cool stuff that you guys provide
[11:00] <lecaros> ubuntu .com must contain articles about succesful cases switching from _other_ os to ubuntu
[11:00] <bapoumba> gerr1, currently, there is spotlight, fridge, planet etc, but not UWN, do you see wich link I am talking about ? ( Burgundavia what do you think ?)
[11:00] <gerr1> the other group i don't think we serve all that well
[11:00] <lecaros> reasons to change, real ones!
[11:01] <lecaros> perhaps an on-line tool to open office documents using OOo to read them...
[11:01] <johnlittle> Now that you mention in Burgundavia I don't think Ubuntu Video is linked from any ubuntu sites.
[11:01] <Burgundavia> one of things matthew n and others have been talking about is an ubuntu-website team, complete with mailing list
[11:01] <johnlittle> in=it
[11:02] <Burgundavia> which would be a great place to take this discussion
[11:02] <lecaros> too many people do the switch when their information will be certainly safe
[11:02] <Burgundavia> given time is short and we are already at an hour
[11:03] <lecaros> a ML may be?
[11:04] <Burgundavia> sounds good
[11:04] <Burgundavia> gerr1: if people want to contact you, how is the best way?
[11:04] <gerr1> is this meeting ending - is there a summary somewhere I can get?
[11:05] <Burgundavia> gerr1: we are not quite over
[11:05] <gerr1> I was but to write my email is gerry.carr@canonical.com
[11:05] <gerr1> anyone wants to mail me anytime they are more than welcome
[11:05] <johnlittle> Thanks Gerry
[11:06] <Burgundavia> and you are on the mailing list as well?
[11:06] <gerr1> the marketing mailing list? yes but in summary  -- i'll change sub to real time or whatever the term is
[11:07] <Burgundavia> ahh, right
[11:07] <Burgundavia> sounds good
[11:07] <Burgundavia> thanks for coming by gerr1
[11:07] <lecaros> better
[11:07] <Burgundavia> any last items?
[11:07] <Burgundavia> and I need somebody to do some minutes
[11:08] <bapoumba> Burgundavia, I would have a question from some people in french forums
[11:08] <Burgundavia> sure
[11:09] <bapoumba> they are puzzled by the UWN numbers
[11:09] <bapoumba> and sugest to label by day of release
[11:09] <bapoumba> (I have no opinion)
[11:09] <Burgundavia> ah
[11:09] <bapoumba> I promised to bringit up ^^
[11:10] <Burgundavia> right, I am no longer chief editor, but I can bring it up
[11:10] <Burgundavia> anything else?
[11:11] <bapoumba> especially the first number for the first week of this year being 30 something
[11:11] <bapoumba> ok thanks
[11:11] <Burgundavia> well, thanks everybody for coming!
[11:12] <bapoumba> thanks Burgundavia
[11:12] <Burgundavia> lets do this meeting thing more regularly!
[11:12] <txwikinger> thanks Burgundavia
[11:12] <Burgundavia> [11:44] <sampbar> bye all
