[12:57] <Bassetts> hi, I have just signed up to the marketing team
[01:05] <jenda> Bassetts: welcome :)
[01:05] <jenda> beuno: any lick with jono?
[01:05] <jenda> erm...
[01:05] <jenda> luck
[01:05] <jenda> :)
[01:05] <jenda> damn dvorak :)
[01:07] <Bassetts> jenda, hi, not too sure on what I am supposed to do but I am looking around the wiki
[01:08] <jenda> Bassetts: there is no real 'supposed to do' ;)
[01:09] <Bassetts> jenda, right, well I have always been interested in the spreadubuntu project which is what lead me to joining.
[01:09] <Bassetts> what would you recommend I did to get started and learn the ropes?
[01:10] <jenda> weeell :)
[01:10] <jenda> I work on SU
[01:10] <jenda> Let's see
[01:10] <Bassetts> :) cool
[01:10] <jenda> we've kinda cut down the project to make it more accomplishable
[01:11] <jenda> so we focus on the DIY Marketing aspect of it.
[01:11] <jenda> See MarketingTeam/DIYWebsite
[01:11] <jenda> that is what has become of SU
[01:12] <jenda> the 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] <jenda> I'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.
[01:13] <Bassetts> I remember this a few years ago when I was active a bit more around here.
[01:13] <Bassetts> I think I remember you now
[01:13] <jenda> maybe :)
[01:14] <Bassetts> I am reading that page now
[01:15] <Bassetts> jenda, 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.
[01:16] <Bassetts> But I suspect like a lot of projects there are other things to do and any help is appreciate
[01:16] <Bassetts> *appreciated
[01:18] <jenda> Certainly :)
[01:18] <jenda> The trouble is I haven't really managed to find my way around the project again yet.
[01:19] <jenda> But I think we are now waiting for someone to make the drupal system for it. We already have the database ready.
[01:19] <Bassetts> jenda, OK well I am more than happy to help as this is my sort of thing.
[01:19] <jenda> I'll do my best to catch Dan
[01:19] <jenda> and ask
[01:19] <jenda> ok, cool
[01:19] <jenda> Bassetts: DIY or Drupal is?
[01:19] <Bassetts> just general website/web design stuff
[01:20] <jenda> cool
[01:20] <jenda> Will you give me your name and jabber/msn/icq/aim?
[01:20] <Bassetts> Jason Liquorish, msn: jason@dropshock.com
[01:20] <jenda> so I can contact you when we arrange a first-in-a-long-time meeting.
[01:20] <jenda> cool, thx
[01:20] <Bassetts> and that is also my email
[01:21] <jenda> gotcha
[01:21] <Bassetts> =)
[01:21] <jenda> you can also check out how far we got with the previous plan at diy.devubuntu.com
[01:21] <jenda> I'll try to push this onward as soon as I can.
[01:22] <jenda> although I still have a lot of work to keep up with :/
[01:22] <Bassetts> jenda, sure =) if you have any simple boring jobs that you could do with out just send them my way.
[01:23] <jenda> Bassetts: there's always the task of organising content :D
[01:24] <jenda> Bassetts: if you check out the above link and the /Get subpage, that's how /Print should eventually look
[01:24] <jenda> But that's a very boring task, and probably infinite :D
[01:24] <Bassetts> jenda, 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 down
[01:24] <jenda> (grabbing all sorts of downloadable materials from the internet and categorising them on the page)
[01:25] <jenda> sweet :)
[01:25] <jenda> the problem is, once the database frontend is finished, it'll all have to be manually moved there.
[01:25] <jenda> Still - it will be easier if the stuff is assembled on /Print
[01:26] <jenda> And 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 down
[01:26] <jenda> "
[01:26] <jenda> ^ we have had way too many of those ;)
[01:27] <Bassetts> yeh, I have worked with too many people in my short life time that say they can and they cannot
[01:28] <Bassetts> so 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?
[01:29] <jenda> no, no no :)
[01:29] <jenda> anything that _doesn't_ has a high priority
[01:30] <jenda> compared to those that do
[01:30] <jenda> because feisty stuff will be outdated before we're done :)
[01:30] <jenda> and gutsy stuff is very likely not ready enough yet
[01:30] <Bassetts> jenda, OK so, anything with feisty on is low priority and gutsy will be higher.
[01:30] <jenda> not to mention edgy/dapper/breezy/hoary/warty
[01:30] <jenda> no :)
[01:31] <Bassetts> sorry I am hard to explain to sometimes
[01:31] <jenda> anything with Feisty, Gutsy or any other release has a low priority
[01:31] <jenda> anything that is independent on the release has a high priority :)
[01:31] <Bassetts> OK, becuase it can get outdated easy
[01:31] <jenda> if it says "Ubuntu is great" it's good, if it says "Feisty rocks" it's not good :)
[01:31] <Bassetts> because it fits any release and could be a permanent marketing material
[01:31] <Bassetts> am I getting there ?
[01:31] <jenda> (unless it's an .svg file which can easily be changed to "Gutsy rocks"
[01:31] <jenda> yes
[01:31] <jenda> :)
[01:32] <jenda> you've got it 
[01:32] <Bassetts> so a good place to start is to scour the wiki/main site for anything usable already?
[01:35] <jenda> :)
[01:35] <jenda> yep
[01:35] <jenda> DIYMarketing already has some stuff
[01:35] <jenda> Artwork/Official also does
[01:36] <Bassetts> I will start looking today, I am looking for stuff that is ready to print, or can be used to make printable materials, or both?
[01:39] <jenda> both, pretty much
[01:39] <Bassetts> jenda, OK, I hope I make the wiki page right, new to the wiki
[01:40] <Bassetts> shall I put it on MarketingTeam/Print?
[01:41] <jenda> nope
[01:42] <jenda> have a look at MarketingTeam/DIYWebsite/Get
[01:42] <Bassetts> ok
[01:43] <jenda> and make a https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/DIYWebsite/Print
[01:43] <jenda> along that
[01:43] <jenda> the actual fields needed might differ - add and remove them as you see fit.
[01:44] <Bassetts> OK, sorry for all my questions, I will get better at knowing what needs doing as time goes on, I hope
[01:44] <jenda> no problem :)
[01:45] <Bassetts> for a preview shall I link to the art work that is already about or do I need to upload it somewhere
[01:47] <jenda> you can link to it.
[01:47] <jenda> (it's better to link to it)
[01:47] <jenda> I gotta run off.
[01:47] <jenda> I'll see you around, and thanks for the help :)
[01:48] <Bassetts> jenda, thanks for all the help, sorry for all the questions
[02:19] <jenda> Bassetts: no problem at all :)
[02:19] <jenda> Bassetts: actually, I'm just talking to Dan
[02:22] <meatballhat> Bassetts: a certain Czech told me you're wanting to get in on the supposed DIY Marketing project ;-)
[02:22] <jenda> yo
[02:22] <jenda> :)
[02:23] <jenda> meatballhat: must've disappeared for a while
[02:23] <meatballhat> hrm
[02:23] <jenda> ...or is hard at work shoveling swag
[02:23] <meatballhat> thar ye go ;-)
[02:23] <Bassetts> hey
[02:23] <meatballhat> Bassetts: hello!
[02:23] <Bassetts> =)
[02:24] <Bassetts> jenda, you got it right, found some nice big ubuntu banners
[02:24] <meatballhat> Bassetts:  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-diy-team   <-- please join :)
[02:24] <Bassetts> joined =)
[02:25] <meatballhat> the more, the messier!  yaaaay!
[02:26] <meatballhat> Bassetts: welcome :)
[02:26] <Bassetts> thanks =)
[02:26] <Bassetts> I like some good messy fun
[02:26] <Bassetts> you too meatballhat 
[02:27] <Bassetts> jenda, there is not much version independent stuff around.
[02:28] <jenda> Bassetts: really?
[02:28] <jenda> All them logos and banners have feisty on them?
[02:28] <Bassetts> on DIY Marketing its all versioned
[02:28] <jenda> hm
[02:28] <jenda> well, take it too.
[02:28] <jenda> Bassetts: in that case, another field will be needed: Release: Feistey/Gutsy/All
[02:28] <Bassetts> I am putting them into sections Version independent and Version dependant
[02:29] <jenda> naaah
[02:29] <Bassetts> ahh, some are .svg though
[02:29] <jenda> it's not all that important a distinction
[02:29] <Bassetts> right
[02:29] <jenda> just add a field saying which versions it works for.
[02:29] <Bassetts> for .svg sutff I will make a comment it could be edited for future versions
[02:32] <jenda> cool :)
[02:34] <Bassetts> is this just for ubuntu or kubuntu/xubuntu/edubuntu also?
