| flickerfly | A LUG guy said you guys might be interested in the weakness of Linux solutions in the NGO "market". Non-profits just don't get much attention, particularly small ones who could benefit hugely from the provision of good software tools. The greatest weakness is constituent relationship management (CRM), but just a decent fund-accounting software would be a good start. You can't even buy stuff for this | 08:03 |
| Burgundavia | flickerfly: there is actually the NGO in a box, done by the tactical tech people in Amsterdam | 08:05 |
| Burgundavia | it is based on Ubuntu, afaicr | 08:06 |
| flickerfly | do you have a link to that, it doesn't sound familiar | 08:06 |
| Flannel | http://tacticaltech.org/ | 08:07 |
| Burgundavia | I am, in fact, wearing on their tshirts right now | 08:07 |
| Flannel | or, I guess http://ngoinabox.org/ | 08:07 |
| flickerfly | thanks, I'll have to check that out | 08:08 |
| Burgundavia | the tactical tech people are cool people, actually | 08:08 |
| flickerfly | What they are recommending for NGOs to use for finances is GnuCash. While GnuCash is a fine personal accounting software, it doesn't have the features to address fund accounting like an NGO wants to do | 08:20 |
| flickerfly | I do like what they're trying to do. | 08:20 |
| flickerfly | I'll have to see if I can find a feed on them to get more familiar with their tech | 08:21 |
| flickerfly | I should re-visit CiviCRM. | 08:22 |
| flickerfly | That might be improved in the last few years and may fit. | 08:22 |
| Burgundavia | it is likely that money can be found to improve software for NGO use | 08:25 |
| flickerfly | cool, then all that needs to happen is find someone with the time. That's another thing lacking at NGOs. :-) Thanks for listening guys. I'm off. | 08:40 |

| IDF_Mike | me and some guys in the FL team were looking into making an ubuntu page and I just wanted to run it by you guys and see what you think | 10:16 |
| IDF_Mike | It's main purpose would basically an exhaustive list of links for useful ubuntu related sites | 10:18 |
| IDF_Mike | with a rating system and a place for users to submit links | 10:18 |
| IDF_Mike | I don't wanna keep rattling on here, but I just wanted to make sure something like this wasn't in the works and see if anyone thought it would be beneficial | 10:20 |
| IDF_Mike | we feel like sites are starting to spread out and that it's getting harder to find what you are looking for and a good index would help | 10:21 |
| IDF_Mike | any comments or suggestions, send them this way thanks, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3051979#post3051979 | 10:22 |

| Burgundavia | loserboy: a list of links? | 11:32 |
| loserboy | well... yea but a massive list | 11:32 |
| Burgundavia | massive lists have a serious problem; they are massive | 11:33 |
| Burgundavia | every study of humans and picking shows that beyond 7 items, we loose the ability to quickly parse | 11:33 |
| loserboy | lol well we are going put stress on having it well organized and indexed | 11:34 |
| loserboy | but I know what you mean | 11:34 |
| Burgundavia | I personally think it would be a better project to clean up a few good resources | 11:34 |
| loserboy | also rating systems, brief comments | 11:34 |
| Burgundavia | such as finishing and publishing the DIY stie | 11:35 |
| Burgundavia | or fixing some pages on teh Ubuntu Help wiki | 11:35 |
| loserboy | that's what I thought at first too, but it seems like such a huge project, and not everyone is going to cooperate | 11:35 |
| Burgundavia | you don';t need a lot of cooperation | 11:35 |
| Burgundavia | you need bit sized chunks | 11:36 |
| loserboy | alot of the wiki hasn't been updated since hoary | 11:36 |
| Burgundavia | {{sofixit}} | 11:36 |
| Burgundavia | and actually, lots has | 11:36 |
| loserboy | well, I spent a long time on the hardware compatibility | 11:36 |
| Burgundavia | the challenge is building a community around a resource, not producing another resource | 11:36 |
| Burgundavia | http://loll.sourceforge.net/ | 11:37 |
| Burgundavia | that is a project similar to what you are envisioing | 11:37 |
| Burgundavia | it doesn't work. I know because a couple of people from my LUG run it | 11:37 |
| loserboy | I'll take a look in just a sec here | 11:38 |
| loserboy | it is similar to what we have in mind, is it still updated? | 11:39 |
| Burgundavia | nope | 11:40 |
| Burgundavia | it died because it really isn't a useful resource | 11:40 |
| Burgundavia | not in the Google area | 11:40 |
| Burgundavia | what drivers users to sites is content, lots of good content | 11:41 |
| Burgundavia | one place that need more cool content is the Fridge | 11:41 |
| Burgundavia | and the UWN | 11:41 |
| Burgundavia | one idea might be a "cool Ubuntu device of the day" post, about somebody running Ubuntu on something cool | 11:42 |
| === BHSPitMonkey_ [n=stephen@adsl-67-64-113-213.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| loserboy | yea I see what you're saying | 11:42 |
| Burgundavia | there are no end of existing projects that badly need people to write cool things for them | 11:43 |
| loserboy | I just see so many people in the forums that can't find what they are looking for through search functions in the forum or from google | 11:44 |
| loserboy | and I admit many times it's their fault | 11:44 |
| Burgundavia | then choose a resouce and improve that | 11:44 |
| Burgundavia | if you have good content, it will float its way up the list in google | 11:45 |
| loserboy | well, I'm glad I talked to you and I'll run everything you said by the guys | 11:46 |
| loserboy | I gotta say I still think we could make it work | 11:46 |
| loserboy | working on the wiki was actually my first thought before this idea, it's depressing just to think about it | 11:48 |
| loserboy | (working on the wiki that is) | 11:48 |
| Burgundavia | the wiki is a large resource with lots of disorder | 11:48 |
| loserboy | do you know of anyone that has a game plan for reorganizing it | 11:49 |
| Burgundavia | not really | 11:49 |
| loserboy | so you really feel like it's a waste to have a links site? | 11:52 |
| Burgundavia | a few carefully selected links, maybe as part of a story on a existing resource | 11:53 |
| Burgundavia | link maybe a story on the Fridge, with a few links abougt a specific story | 11:53 |
| Burgundavia | then you get a few high quality links | 11:54 |
| loserboy | sort of a news style | 11:54 |
| loserboy | or highlights | 11:54 |
| Burgundavia | basically, yes | 11:54 |
| Burgundavia | when something like Ubuntu Mobile is announced, a short news roundup | 11:55 |
| loserboy | is that any real use to anyone, I've seen sites that cover this already | 11:56 |
| Burgundavia | yes, it is | 11:56 |
| loserboy | are you part of the marketing team, i'm only asking so I can say where I got the feedback from | 11:59 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 11:59 |
| Burgundavia | teh marketing team is anybody who wants to market | 11:59 |
| loserboy | lol oh ok, is there no official status? | 11:59 |
| Burgundavia | there is, but people tend to see the "Marketing Team" as this entity | 12:00 |
