[09:38] <dotwaffle> Anyone here in Finland? Looking for someone to interview for AssemblyTV about Ubuntu and/or FLOSS in August.
[09:40] <dotwaffle> msg in private if interested.
[09:40] <Burgundavia> try the marketing and the loco-contacts lists
[09:41] <dotwaffle> one step ahead of you - drafting an email now ;)
[09:41] <dotwaffle> thought it best to pop it in here first
[09:44] <MenZa> @_@
[09:54] <Burgundavia> dotwaffle: one person I would try and contact is Henrik. He is in Helsinki
[09:54] <dotwaffle> Do you have any contact details, or will a google search be best?
[09:54] <Burgundavia> he is articulate, a Canonical employee and all around great guy
[09:54] <dotwaffle> Ah, super :)
[09:55] <dotwaffle> Henrik Nilsen Omma <henrik canonical com> ?
[09:55] <Burgundavia> https://launchpad.net/~henrik
[09:55] <Burgundavia> yep
[09:55] <dotwaffle> thx =)
[09:55] <Burgundavia> dotwaffle: I have also flagged it for the UWN
[09:56] <dotwaffle> cheers - can't make it TOO prominent a feature, Windows Vista is a core sponsor, but I've been told it's ok to do a small interview or feature etc.
[09:56] <dotwaffle> Get the word out etc ;)
[09:57] <Burgundavia> dotwaffle: you heard about operation cold comfort?
[09:58] <Burgundavia> hey gerry
[09:58] <dotwaffle> no - should I have :S
[09:58] <gerry> morning all 
[09:59] <gerry> you might all like to know there is a new starter in Canonical marketing this morning 
[09:59] <Burgundavia> dotwaffle: so MS Canada has this shiny icehouse in a Toronto square over teh winter, showcasing Vista
[09:59] <Burgundavia> cool
[09:59] <gerry> Kat Kinnie, working with me in the Millbank office
[09:59] <dotwaffle> Burgundavia: Ah, yes, I did hear about that ;)
[09:59] <Burgundavia> we will have to haze^^WWWwelcome them properly, gerry
[10:00] <Burgundavia> dotwaffle: the plans for that penguin are freely available
[10:00] <Burgundavia> gerry: what sort of projects is kat going to be working on?
[10:00] <dotwaffle> Burgundavia: Can't be disruptive - they give us money to sponsor the event
[10:00] <dotwaffle> :S
[10:01] <Burgundavia> showing up a giant penguin is not really disruptive
[10:02] <dotwaffle> it's a possibility, let's put it that way :)
[10:08] <gerry> might take a day or so to get systems up and running etc but i am sure she'll introduce herself soon enough
[10:08] <gerry> by the way anyone here from france? 
[10:08] <gerry> quelqu'un?
[10:08] <gerry> or is there anyone in ubuntu marketing from france who is not online right now? 
[10:11] <Madpilot>  #ubuntu-fr is apparently fairly active - might want to go right to the source
[10:15] <Burgundavia> Madpilot: does my latest blog post show up with images for you?
[10:15] <Madpilot> Burgundavia, in planet.u.c, yes.
[10:15] <Burgundavia> cool, they were not working before
[10:15] <Madpilot> nice dropshadows. messing about in the GIMP?
[10:15] <Burgundavia> yep
[10:15] <Burgundavia> purely default GIMP
[11:18] <jenda> hello gerry
[11:18] <jenda> gerry: did you get my email about the forums?
[11:19] <jenda> gerry: I'm having some trouble communicating there, which is why the announcement never happened :/ at least there was the sticky.
[11:20] <jenda> gerry: and as for loco team people - the best place is #ubuntu-locoteams - Yann and olive are two french loco/marketing guys.
[11:21] <jenda> (both frequent the channel)
[12:33] <gerry> hi guys should have marked myself as away
[12:33] <gerry> i'll head direct to france
[01:46] <Mike_F> jenda:what's up
[01:47] <jenda> Fighting with a .mdb file :(
[01:47] <jenda> a _very_ important one :(
[01:47] <Mike_F> okay, i'll catch you later then
[01:51] <jenda> Mike_F: no, no - I'm available :)
[01:54] <Mike_F> i was think about making flash sticks with ubuntu on them and wanted to ask if i can use the freedom poster
[01:55] <Mike_F> i would sell them though ebay as a way to cross promote ubuntu and my own business
[01:55] <jenda> of course
[01:55] <jenda> it's GPL :)
[01:55] <jenda> and CC-SA
[01:55] <jenda> oh
[01:56] <jenda> weeell
[01:56] <jenda> you better check that out with trademarks@ubuntu.com
[01:56] <jenda> (regarding the crosspromotion)
[01:56] <jenda> and read the trademark policy
[01:56] <jenda> that's outta my jurisdiction :D
[01:57] <juliux> hey Vorian 
[01:57] <Vorian> hello
[01:57] <Vorian> I got your message on IRC yesterday :)
[01:58] <juliux> Vorian, cool
[01:58] <juliux> jenda, i have bad news for you
[01:58] <Vorian> Thanks juliux :)
[01:58] <jenda> juliux: oh no
[01:58] <juliux> jenda, could be that i am not in dresden the last week of june
[01:58] <jenda> uh oh
[01:58] <jenda> now that's bad news :(
[01:59] <jenda> I need you there on the 29th :D
[01:59] <juliux> jenda, i get a phone call yesterday, and there is a company who whants to give me an apprenticeship training position but bevor that i should make a three week internship by them
[02:00] <jenda> yeauch
[02:00] <juliux> and perhpas this intership starts at 25th june
[02:00] <jenda> and there's no way to move that or make a hole in it for the 29th? Beuno and I both have a ticket already.
[02:00] <jenda> ok
[02:00] <juliux> it is not 100% sure but it could be
[02:01] <jenda> ok
[02:02] <jenda> well, try to keep free if you can - it would complicate matters a lot. But if you can't, you can't.
[02:02] <Mike_F> jenda: I have no clue after reading the trademark stuff.
[02:03] <jenda> Mike_F: in that case, write them an email :)
[02:03] <Mike_F> I that i am trying to do is recover the cost of the flash sticks
[02:03] <jenda> Mike_F: I'm not a big fan of the trademark policy myself
[02:03] <juliux> jenda, trademark policy is important
[02:03] <jenda> juliux: of course - but I think the one we have isn't right.
[02:04] <juliux> jenda, then go to the cc;)
[02:04] <jenda> first to tm@u.c
[02:04] <jenda> :)
[02:04] <jenda> I have an email half written - it takes a lot of concentration to get all my argumentation together :)
[02:05] <Mike_F> i would perfer a phone call
[02:07] <jenda> I hate my english accent.
[02:08] <jenda> Mike_F: and they take only emails, because they get a lot of them.
[02:08] <jenda> They can also discuss what you wrote, etc.
[02:08] <jenda> You have to outline what exactly you want to do, and essentially ask if its OK.
[02:14] <beuno> jenda, juliux, jeep me updated on that
[02:14] <beuno> jenda: I'll be going to meet you anyway  :D
[02:30] <jenda> beuno: :)
[02:30] <Tm_T> hi kids
[02:30] <jenda> beuno: we'll have an extra day of drinkin' ;)
[02:30] <Vorian> I wanna come too
[02:30] <Vorian> :(
[02:31] <jenda> Vorian: you're invited :)
[02:31] <Vorian> you have a plane ticket for me? 
[02:31] <Vorian> :)
[02:33] <Mike_F> jenda: I guess they are just going to be linux sticks
[02:34] <jenda> Mike_F: you should check with Linus ;)
[02:34] <jenda> Vorian: erm... no? :)
[02:34] <Vorian> jenda, ok then 
[02:34] <Vorian> boston  it will have to be :)
[02:38] <jenda> Vorian: got a ticket for me? :)
[02:39] <Vorian> jenda, nope.  but sabdfl said he was going to get one for you.
[02:39] <jenda> :)
[02:39] <jenda> Something tells me it'll be increasingly hard to get sponsorship.
[02:40] <Vorian> here's an idea
[02:40] <Vorian> make a python script that helps people install programs
[02:40] <Vorian> call it
[02:40] <Vorian> Automated Installer x
[02:40] <jenda> :D
[02:40] <Vorian> :)
[02:41] <Vorian> That's a sure way to get a ticket
[02:41] <jenda> I quit teh installer script business almost two years ago ;)
[02:41] <jenda> And BTW, if I did do that, I wouldn't need a ticket.
[02:42] <jenda> I'd be god, and thus be everywhere :)
[02:46] <Vorian> haha
[03:07] <Mike_F> jenda: if ubuntu's trademark policy should be as clear as the Linux(R) policy 
[03:08] <Mike_F> it would be easier for people that need to make a living
[04:27] <Vorian> jenda, I made a poster for you
[04:27] <Vorian> http://www.glennbeck.com/dayaftertomorrow/userposter6.pdf
[09:07] <orethrius> What's everyone been up to...?
[09:07] <orethrius> Besides the obvious, of course.  ;)
[09:12] <Tm_T> obvious would be...
[09:49] <orethrius> Well, besides the general marketing drive - perhaps some specific actions, or even development work?  Just curious.
