Bassettshi, I have just signed up to the marketing team12:57
jendaBassetts: welcome :)01:05
jendabeuno: any lick with jono?01:05
jendaerm...01:05
jendaluck01:05
jenda:)01:05
jendadamn dvorak :)01:05
Bassettsjenda, hi, not too sure on what I am supposed to do but I am looking around the wiki01:07
jendaBassetts: there is no real 'supposed to do' ;)01:08
Bassettsjenda, right, well I have always been interested in the spreadubuntu project which is what lead me to joining.01:09
Bassettswhat would you recommend I did to get started and learn the ropes?01:09
jendaweeell :)01:10
jendaI work on SU01:10
jendaLet's see01:10
Bassetts:) cool01:10
jendawe've kinda cut down the project to make it more accomplishable01:10
jendaso we focus on the DIY Marketing aspect of it.01:11
jendaSee MarketingTeam/DIYWebsite01:11
jendathat is what has become of SU01:11
jendathe people working on it are Dan Buch (meatballhat) and I, with two other folks who offered to help set up Drupal, but are now unresponsive.01:12
jendaI've been way too busy till recently to push it forward, but I'm back now, and I'm trying to rally the team to do some work again.01:12
BassettsI remember this a few years ago when I was active a bit more around here.01:13
BassettsI think I remember you now01:13
jendamaybe :)01:13
BassettsI am reading that page now01:14
Bassettsjenda, I do not have much experience with web design other than a few wordpress sites, basic html and I forgot most of the css I learnt, but I am attempting to learn php and css again.01:15
BassettsBut I suspect like a lot of projects there are other things to do and any help is appreciate01:16
Bassetts*appreciated01:16
jendaCertainly :)01:18
jendaThe trouble is I haven't really managed to find my way around the project again yet.01:18
jendaBut I think we are now waiting for someone to make the drupal system for it. We already have the database ready.01:19
Bassettsjenda, OK well I am more than happy to help as this is my sort of thing.01:19
jendaI'll do my best to catch Dan01:19
jendaand ask01:19
jendaok, cool01:19
jendaBassetts: DIY or Drupal is?01:19
Bassettsjust general website/web design stuff01:19
jendacool01:20
jendaWill you give me your name and jabber/msn/icq/aim?01:20
BassettsJason Liquorish, msn: jason@dropshock.com01:20
jendaso I can contact you when we arrange a first-in-a-long-time meeting.01:20
jendacool, thx01:20
Bassettsand that is also my email01:20
jendagotcha01:21
Bassetts=)01:21
jendayou can also check out how far we got with the previous plan at diy.devubuntu.com01:21
jendaI'll try to push this onward as soon as I can.01:21
jendaalthough I still have a lot of work to keep up with :/01:22
Bassettsjenda, sure =) if you have any simple boring jobs that you could do with out just send them my way.01:22
jendaBassetts: there's always the task of organising content :D01:23
jendaBassetts: if you check out the above link and the /Get subpage, that's how /Print should eventually look01:24
jendaBut that's a very boring task, and probably infinite :D01:24
Bassettsjenda, sure, I will try my best at anything you give me and if I cannot do it I will just say, I will not pretend I can if I cannot as that would just slow us down01:24
jenda(grabbing all sorts of downloadable materials from the internet and categorising them on the page)01:24
jendasweet :)01:25
jendathe problem is, once the database frontend is finished, it'll all have to be manually moved there.01:25
jendaStill - it will be easier if the stuff is assembled on /Print01:25
jendaAnd if you begin working on this - prioritize such stuff that is release-independent or easily updatable.01:26
jenda:)01:26
jenda"I will not pretend I can if I cannot as  that would just slow us down01:26
jenda"01:26
jenda^ we have had way too many of those ;)01:26
Bassettsyeh, I have worked with too many people in my short life time that say they can and they cannot01:27
Bassettsso I need to find marketing materials for ubuntu and anything that has a specific version attached to it or is easily updated has a high priority?01:28
jendano, no no :)01:29
jendaanything that _doesn't_ has a high priority01:29
jendacompared to those that do01:30
jendabecause feisty stuff will be outdated before we're done :)01:30
jendaand gutsy stuff is very likely not ready enough yet01:30
Bassettsjenda, OK so, anything with feisty on is low priority and gutsy will be higher.01:30
jendanot to mention edgy/dapper/breezy/hoary/warty01:30
jendano :)01:30
Bassettssorry I am hard to explain to sometimes01:31
jendaanything with Feisty, Gutsy or any other release has a low priority01:31
jendaanything that is independent on the release has a high priority :)01:31
BassettsOK, becuase it can get outdated easy01:31
jendaif it says "Ubuntu is great" it's good, if it says "Feisty rocks" it's not good :)01:31
Bassettsbecause it fits any release and could be a permanent marketing material01:31
Bassettsam I getting there ?01:31
jenda(unless it's an .svg file which can easily be changed to "Gutsy rocks"01:31
jendayes01:31
jenda:)01:31
jendayou've got it 01:32
Bassettsso a good place to start is to scour the wiki/main site for anything usable already?01:32
jenda:)01:35
jendayep01:35
jendaDIYMarketing already has some stuff01:35
jendaArtwork/Official also does01:35
BassettsI will start looking today, I am looking for stuff that is ready to print, or can be used to make printable materials, or both?01:36
jendaboth, pretty much01:39
Bassettsjenda, OK, I hope I make the wiki page right, new to the wiki01:39
Bassettsshall I put it on MarketingTeam/Print?01:40
jendanope01:41
jendahave a look at MarketingTeam/DIYWebsite/Get01:42
Bassettsok01:42
jendaand make a https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/DIYWebsite/Print01:43
jendaalong that01:43
jendathe actual fields needed might differ - add and remove them as you see fit.01:43
BassettsOK, sorry for all my questions, I will get better at knowing what needs doing as time goes on, I hope01:44
jendano problem :)01:44
Bassettsfor a preview shall I link to the art work that is already about or do I need to upload it somewhere01:45
jendayou can link to it.01:47
jenda(it's better to link to it)01:47
jendaI gotta run off.01:47
jendaI'll see you around, and thanks for the help :)01:47
Bassettsjenda, thanks for all the help, sorry for all the questions01:48
jendaBassetts: no problem at all :)02:19
jendaBassetts: actually, I'm just talking to Dan02:19
