[10:57] juliux: you don't have to worry about us until you feel like it ;) [10:58] 3 am is very very early in the morning right? [10:58] juliux: we'll wander around town till say, the afternoon, and then we can get together for the 'partp' [10:58] juliux: yep :D [10:58] jenda, why are you coming so soon [10:58] juliux: it was the only way to avoid having to stay the night.

[11:00] Must be something in the air. [11:00] jono: bless you, and thanks. I'm still waiting on a few other people too :) [11:00] katkin: ahhh good, would hate to be holding you up [11:02] jono: no worries [11:02] katkin: good meeting yesterday, great to meet up with you :) [11:02] jenda, we have the best beer;) [11:02] uh oh [11:02] flamewar coming :) [11:02] jenda, we will test it here;) [11:02] :) [11:03] I'll bring samples, as I promised. [11:03] I'll need a big backpack for the books anyway. [11:03] brb [11:03] jono: indeed, great to meet you too, it's really great to be involved with the community, I think I can learn heaps from you guys [11:03] juliux: ok pal, whats the score with the ubucon? [11:03] juliux: :) [11:03] jono, what do you mean with score? [11:03] juliux: oops, english slang, "what is the current status" [11:04] katkin: yeah should be fun, might be worth us scheduling reasonably regular calls - once a month or so [11:04] I am scheduling regular calls with my target teams where I can [11:04] mainly marketing, MOTU and a few others [11:04] jono, looks very good, we talked last week with a university in krefeld/germany and they can give us a lot of rooms but we have to pay for them [11:04] juliux: right [11:05] juliux: is it expensive? [11:05] jono, and we also have some rooms for free but we have some communication problems with them [11:05] juliux: communication problems> [11:05] jono, we dont know it exactly, but we are sure that we will find money if we are searching for it;) [11:06] jono, they guys are not happy that we also went to the university and asked them [11:06] jono: yep I agree, maybe get a re-occurring call in the diary at the beginning of the month? [11:06] heh === jono feels a "will canonical fund it question coming his way! === jono feels a "will canonical fund it question coming his way!" [11:06] damn [11:06] I can't type today [11:06] katkin: sounds great [11:06] jono, but they didnt response for a longer time so we searched for an other room [11:06] katkin: which date is good for you? [11:06] jono, we have today our weekly ubucon-de meeting perhaps i know more after that [11:07] juliux: excellent, keep me updated [11:07] jono, sure [11:07] jono: will canonical fund it? [11:07] juliux: we also need to discuss an EUTeams team for LoCos - what we discussed at LinuxTag [11:07] jenda: well... [11:07] (I didn't want you to be disappointed, and it seemed juliux wasn't about to ask ;)) === jono whistles and looks around [11:07] jono: How about the first Monday of every month, the first meeting being Mon 2nd July? [11:07] katkin: sounds great [11:08] jono, right [11:08] katkin: 3pm? === jenda checks katkin whois [11:08] jono: sounds good. I'll put it in my diary now. Do you have a google diary? [11:08] katkin: who are you? :) [11:08] jenda,PriceChild> QUESTION: if a loco are creating a nation wide event, is it [11:08] possible that we ask canonical for sponsor (aside from conference kits)? [11:08] ask of course! we haven't sponsored anything like that before, but it i [11:08] s possible [11:08] so feel free to make a case for it [11:08] jenda, from the last ask mark session;) [11:08] juliux: :D [11:08] cool [11:09] katkin: yep google diary, just added it :) [11:09] jenda: I'm a new Marketing Manager. I'm working with Gerry, I started on 12th June [11:09] katkin: ah, cool! :) [11:09] katkin: welcome, then :) === jenda had no idea [11:09] juliux: jenda: we do consider funding, send me a detailed proposal [11:09] jenda: thanks :) [11:09] jono, we will if we think we need it [11:10] jenda: where are you based? [11:10] katkin: I'm "one of the marketing team guys" ;) [11:10] juliux: good man [11:10] katkin: and i'm in Prague, Czech republic [11:10] jono, we want to try to do it with local sponsors, in the next week we will write an e-mail to all ubuntu partners in germany [11:10] juliux: I would always recommend local sponsorship, and canonical funding is rare to be honest [11:10] as a rule we do not sponsor loco events, not enough money [11:11] jono, i think canonicals sponsoring should be to send the local employess for a talk;) [11:12] juliux: would be interesting [11:12] jono: speaking of which... (please don't kill me for the question) will there be a way to humbly beg for sponsorship for the next UDS? For Sevilla, the wiki just kept saying 'more info soon' until the info came as 'no more sponsorships' [11:12] jenda: we internally pick sponsorships now [11:12] jono: ok [11:12] jenda: so, keep up the good work, and you might get in :) [11:12] jenda: indeed, I'm "one of the marketing team guys" :D. I do love Prague, it's a very beautiful city. [11:12] hehe :) [11:13] jenda: also, the last time, I never had anything to do with the sponsorships [11:13] jono, tsts that is not realy the open ubuntu way;) [11:13] katkin: :) === gerry [n=gerrycar@yttrium.canonical.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:13] hi gerry [11:13] juliux: it is when its canonical money :P [11:13] jono: I wasn't blaming you [11:13] jono, i know [11:13] jenda: I know, its cool :) [11:13] juliux: now we're outnumbered === jenda runs [11:13] jenda, lol [11:13] :) [11:13] I think katkin and I should beat both of you up - Canonical power! [11:14] :P [11:14] :) === jenda arms himself with community backup [11:14] jenda: heh [11:14] hm we need more community people now [11:14] oh well, kitchen calls, I'll brb. [11:14] I have to run [11:14] later chaps [11:15] jenda, lets write a community controlled bot;) [11:15] jono, if you read something about the german ubucon on the planet you can be sure that we have fixed the major problems [11:16] juliux: right [11:17] juliux: BTW, we are establishing the Czech LoCo as a legal entity soon. [11:17] jenda, cool [11:17] juliux: it will make it possible to have a formal budget and all that jazz ;) [11:17] jenda, i know [11:17] Unfortunately, I'm the only donator so far :D [11:17] *donor? [11:18] jenda, during the time there will be more === Susana_ [n=Susana@bl6-13-165.dsl.telepac.pt] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:18] (I would use the word sponsor, but as I learnt about a week ago, you are only legally a sponsor if you are getting advertisements in return :)) [11:19] bah, I gotta get back to work. If all goes well, I could even afford the UDS myself ;) [11:19] jenda, good luck [11:19] :) [11:29] juliux: crap [11:29] juliux: the bus is full :( [11:30] I'll have to keep prodding them if any reservations were cancelled... and then just chance waiting at the bus stop and hope someone doesn't turn up :D [11:30] oh no [11:32] Well, we'll just have to hope. [11:33] Worst case scenario: either I or beuno stay in Prague - if I stay, he'll have to carry my books back :D [11:33] In fact, that's what we'll do. I'll stay, and then try to hitchhike :) [11:33] shouldn't be too hard. [11:57] jenda, thanks for sending the flyers [11:57] Mike_F: no problem - did you say 'what was left of them' earlier? [11:57] yes [11:58] i guess someone or something didn't like them [11:58] damn [11:59] yeah, what i got was pretty funny though [11:59] What did they do to them? [11:59] i bright red Honda Owners Manual and what looks like someone trying to claim one of the email scam prizes [12:00] The Scammers must of got the Ubuntu Flyers [12:00] It looked like the envelope got chewed up in a sorting machince some where on the US side [12:01] juliux: you know, the 21st century is amazing - hitchhiking is now done over the internet, too :) [12:01] Mike_F: what? [12:01] Mike_F: I don't understand :D [12:01] Sounds funky enough. [12:02] That's what I got in one of the envelopes that the postal service sends you when they find a damaged letter [12:02] ah [12:02] They also say they are sorry [12:02] :D [12:02] bastards [12:02] and they get paid for that... [12:04] Well someone get the Flyers in a way we did spread the word about Ubuntu [12:04] Mike_F, they also say sorry when some twit posts you a SASE that is open and empty because the adhesive strip has never even been exposed [12:05] Mike_F: :) [12:06] I once got a letter addressed to someone's landlord in New York City with their rent check in it. [12:07] No bad since that's about 1200 miles from here === Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has left #ubuntu-marketing ["Bye!] [12:07] I sent it in for them [12:10] Now, Does anyone know how I could get some flyers ? [12:10] Mike_F, with a note to the tune of 'the postal service are a bunch of untrained monkeys. it is a miracle there is not poop smeared on this envelope' [12:10] Mike_F: I got the price for the 800 from my printer guy [12:10] I could try finding it :D [12:11] Mike_F: it looks like $200 for 200 [12:12] Which is more than I expected :( [12:12] erm [12:12] $200 for 800 [12:12] That's about what they would cost here [12:13] ok [12:13] you'd probably have to add about $20 for shipping [12:14] I think we need to make something with spot color so it can be printer on a color laser without using $300 worth of toner [12:15] Our Loco here in Florida is starting to get the artistic people together on that [12:15] cool [12:15] I am not one of those, I just get out to a lot of business networking [12:15] So I can get thing out to the people [12:16] Mike_F: how much would the fliers cost you there? If I know, I could try convincing the guy to go down with the price. [12:17] The big problem is something like that fyler needs to be printed 100,000+ on an offset press to get them down to a few pennies a copy [12:17] yep [12:17] Which is what Canonical obviously had done [12:18] that's why the 800 cost as much as it would. [12:18] AND it costs almost the same as 1600 [12:18] So give that they just aren't cost effictive to print short run [12:18] Exactly [12:18] The problem is, not many people are willing to fund fliers for their loco. [12:18] Mike_F, in germany 10.000 flyer cost only 400 [12:19] juliux: I'm sure it would cost less with this guy. [12:19] jenda, the cost depends on the kind of flyers, if you only make a din a4 sheet it is less money;) [12:20] The red background is the killer on the laser printer [12:20] juliux: I was asking for those made by canonical [12:20] Process Red in laser would burn both magenta and yellow toner [12:20] Mike_F: which reminds me, I stole one from the pack I sent you and sent it to the printer guy... [12:20] jenda, ok, we payed 460 for 10.000 [12:20] Mike_F: not that it matters now :D [12:20] jenda, and thas is a good price in germany [12:21] juliux: that is a good price [12:21] juliux: what did they look like? [12:21] (double-sided, folded?) [12:21] jenda, they are the same as the canonical ubuntu ones [12:21] cool [12:21] jenda, but they are in german;) [12:21] that's a very good price, then. [12:21] of course [12:22] jenda, now they are only 412 [12:22] jenda, the price falls every half year [12:22] really? cool :) === jenda watches the Euro deflate... === Vorian [n=OneSquar@ubuntu/member/Vorian] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [12:24] More Euros for less US Dollars, sounds good to me :-) [12:26] if only this was true regardind CHF :-( [12:26] Euro has gone really high for us now here in Switzerland :-( [12:27] Mike_F: actually, if there was a deflation in euroland, it would mean the euro is more expensive ;) [12:27] (compare with inflation - when money loses its value) [12:28] I get less Euro for my money now, but US Dollar is the same since months [12:29] the US dollar has been falling compared to the CZK and the euro for some time now. [12:29] (and for me, an exporter, it's a bad thing ;)) [12:30] exporter eh? [12:46] :) [12:46] in essence, yep [12:46] the only thing I import is tsmithe's proofreading. [12:59] jenda, I always get confused about those things [01:00] I got to get over to Orlando, one more thing [01:01] If our Loco makes our own Ubuntu Flyers would the marketing team like copies [01:07] Mike_F: I think you would find other english-speaking locos interested in tem. [01:07] *them [01:08] Good Idea, [01:08] Mike_F: the US LoCos would be a good place to start :) [01:10] Thanks I got to sign off [01:10] bye [01:14] US loco's? [01:14] They have LoCo teams in the US? [01:17] hi Vorian [01:17] hey juliux :) [01:17] Vorian, did you revice the shirts? [01:17] not yet.... [01:18] juliux, how long do packages normally take?
