[12:49] <pochu> Hey folks, it would be fine if could announce the next Hug Day in both UWN and the fridge. It'll be next Wednesday, on June 13th. The last one didn't have too much community contributors, so some advertising would be helpfull :)
[12:50] <pochu> Also, some blogging is appreciated too ;)
[12:50] <Burgundavia> pochu: email fridge-devel
[12:50] <pochu> Burgundavia: is it moderated?
[12:51] <Burgundavia> nope
[12:51] <pochu> Ok, gonna do. Thanks!
[12:52] <pochu> beuno: and for the UWN? I guess I don't have to mail fridge-devel for it :)
[12:53] <beuno> pochu: you can just add it to the UWN, and I ca blog about it   :D
[12:53] <beuno> (btw, I'm in madrid)  :D
[12:54] <pochu> Hey :)
[12:54] <pochu> beuno: Ok, cool. Gonna add it then :)
[03:36] <jfalconer> Hello
[03:36] <jfalconer> My name's Joel Falconer. I'm the lead singer and songwriter of an Australian grok rock band, Midnight.Haulkerton
[03:36] <Vorian> hmm?
[03:36] <Vorian> hi jfalconer :)
[03:37] <jfalconer> I read this is a good place to ask about Ubuntu marketing matters?
[03:37] <jfalconer> Hi Vorian :)
[03:37] <Vorian> sure, what's your question?
[03:37] <jfalconer> Well, you all know Cory Doctorow?
[03:38] <jfalconer> I wrote two songs inspired by his work under Creative Commons licenses that he's taken under his wing in a sense--they became pretty popular with a few thousand downloads the week they were released.
[03:38] <Vorian> ok
[03:38] <Vorian> the craphound guy/
[03:38] <Vorian> ?
[03:39] <jfalconer> Anyway, I'm a dual OS X/Ubuntu user, and this year some of my music has been comissioned for advertising so the idea struck me that I might offer some free music for the Ubuntu project
[03:39] <jfalconer> Yes, that's the guy
[03:39] <Vorian> jfalconer, that would be kewl!
[03:40] <jfalconer> Great. The term Ubuntu would really make songwriting easy too. Great concepts behind it.
[03:40] <Vorian> sure
[03:41] <jfalconer> I think music can be one of the most effective forms of viral marketing.
[03:41] <Vorian> the guy you'll want to meet is Burgundavia.
[03:41] <jfalconer> Right
[03:41] <Burgundavia> hello
[03:41] <Vorian> :)
[03:41] <jfalconer> Hi Burgundavia :)
[03:41] <jfalconer> How are you?
[03:43] <Burgundavia> good
[03:43] <Burgundavia> about to eat dinner, but I have a few moments
[03:43] <jfalconer> Cool. Were you here for my explanation, or should I run through it again?
[03:43] <Burgundavia> yep
[03:44] <Burgundavia> what were you thinking of doing with this music?
[03:44] <jfalconer> I've had a couple of songs commissioned for advertising lately that are going to appear in commercials, documentaries and the like
[03:44] <Burgundavia> ahh
[03:44] <jfalconer> And it got me thinking... if I could write an appropriate song it could be a helpful marketing asset for the Ubuntu community
[03:44] <Burgundavia> hmm, that would require some video work :)
[03:45] <jfalconer> Yes, but in those cases I just write the song and hand it over :) But with an operating system you can use it in a lot of ways...
[03:45] <jfalconer> Website, package with the media player, and so on
[03:46] <jfalconer> Free, Creative Commons music is a fantastic viral marketing asset.
[03:46] <jfalconer> (providing that the music actually sounds good ;))
[03:48] <Burgundavia> sure
[03:48] <Vorian> I think that very cool jfalconer 
[03:48] <jfalconer> Would the marketing team be interested in this?
[03:48] <Burgundavia> I am a bit at a loss on how exactly it would be used, but the "if you build it, they will come" mentality is good one
[03:48] <jfalconer> Should I throw together some demos and come back to you with them?
[03:52] <jfalconer> And also is there an email address I should contact when I've done that?
[03:56] <Vorian> jfalconer, I like the idea
[03:56] <Vorian> you can email me 
[03:56] <Vorian> vorian at ubuntu.com
[03:56] <jfalconer> Great
[03:56] <jfalconer> Thank you
[03:56] <Vorian> no problem
[03:56] <Vorian> thank you!
[03:56] <jfalconer> :)
[03:56] <Vorian> I must leave not
[03:56] <jfalconer> I look forward to getting something written and working some out
[03:56] <Vorian> now*
[03:56] <jfalconer> Makes two of us.
[03:56] <Vorian> kewl
[03:56] <Vorian> ttyl
[03:56] <jfalconer> Take care guys. Thanks for your answers.
[03:56] <jfalconer> Bye
[03:56] <Vorian> :)
[08:04] <rjian> hello beuno 
[12:09] <jenda> Marketing Team, I'm back in the game - as soon as I catch up with 'business', that is ;)
[12:39] <jenda> ooh, Fullcircle looks great!
