[02:31] Any team leads here? [02:37] desertc: sort of [02:41] I have been looking forward to talking to someone about team efforts. [02:41] But then, you were just telling me in #edubuntu that you wouldn't be able to help me out... Hmm! [02:42] I'll find one of the rock stars around here soon enough and start the conversations. === timelf123 is now known as timelf123_away [04:17] hey Madpilot_ [04:17] greetings [04:19] desertc: what are you looking for help for? [04:19] Just looking for an opportunity to help a larger effort, B. [04:28] ahh [04:30] well, there are not a lot of existing project at the project level [04:30] there are some at the loco team level [04:31] what sort of things did you want to work on? [04:32] Whatever I can do to help, mostly. What sort of things do you need? I go to many conferences and talk with a lot of educators, for example. [04:33] I'd like to follow the lead of others to promote the ideas of using Ubuntu in schools, for one thing. [04:34] What sort of projects can I get started on? [04:40] desertc, have you talked with the edubuntu people on what sort of marketing they're after? you sound like an ideal person to help them [04:40] hmm, well, we need some stuff to hand out [04:40] elkbuntu: Burgundavia said in #edubuntu that I should come here to ask. [04:40] oh... [04:40] Low and behold Burgundavia is here, too! :) [04:41] desertc: I am everywhere [04:41] But at least someone is responding. I've been asking around for the last couple days without much response. [04:41] desertc, compiling a list of the queries that educators have about ubuntu is probably a good way to define what to put in a leaflet for them. [04:42] I'm not getting so far in the conversation that I get to a list of queries. I am not really sure how to approach the topic yet, or who the right people to which I should be talking. [04:43] At this time, I am looking to work under some bigger effort to follow someone else's lead for a bit. [04:43] teachers are good people to talk to [04:43] That's not true, in my opinion. [04:43] people higher up the chain require things like SLAs and boring junk like that [04:44] that is a conversation for somebody at Canonical (or what I used to do at Useful) [04:44] Userful, rather [04:44] for a community activist, your teacher is your best bet [04:47] I am doing a ton of stuff on my own. I feel like that I can also contribute more by helping a larger effort. I'll keep offering to help for a while longer, and I can keep going on my own as need-be. [04:47] one of the best ways you could help would be to tell people what you are hearing at these conferences [04:48] work on some flyers, etc, based on that knowledge [04:49] Not sure how that is working with anyone. Maybe I am not making myself clear. [04:49] I'll check back with you all later. [04:49] hmm, that went well [04:49] ugh === timelf123_away is now known as timelf123_sleepi === MrM is now known as mrmonday === timelf123_sleepi is now known as timelf123 === Susana_ is now known as Susana [19:54] MenZa, you are not allreay ubuntu member? [19:54] I'm not, no. [19:54] wth [19:54] lol [19:58] then you should become a member soon;) [20:02] I hope so! [20:04] MenZa, i added me right after you in the list;) [20:04] :D [20:05] oh not there is rainct between us;) [20:35] juliux, why is it you have an ubuntu member cloak when you're not a member o_O? [20:36] MenZa, i am a member until 20th november [20:36] ah! [20:36] := [20:36] :)* [20:36] so i am there for review;) [20:36] indeed :) [20:36] i don´ t have to [20:37] but i don´t like the idea that a member can review his own membership [20:37] heh [20:37] :) [20:42] This week I am coming up with a form email and send it off to every computer teacher in the Nashville public schools. [20:43] Any resources I can look at from people who have done similar programs? [20:44] desertc, perhaps you can ask Riched in #edubuntu oder #ubuntu-education he is the education manager for ubuntu [20:45] I haven't seen Riched online in a short while. I was looking for him. I wrote him an email several days ago that went unanswered. [20:46] desertc, he is busy with traveling [20:47] I left my telephone number... [20:48] ok === MrM is now known as mrmonday [22:21] Does RichEd have a counter-part in the USA? [22:24] * desertc realizes he was expecting a call back from someone in South Africa. [22:31] desertc, you could try the loco teams in the us [22:31] #ubuntu-us [22:32] I am involved with the LoCo teams already. What did you have in mind? [22:36] hmm [22:37] I think the Colorado team had done something along the same lines with Public Libraries [22:38] Same thing? [22:38] What do you mean? [22:47] desertc, All I remember is a message was sent (in some form) to the Public Library system in Colorado. [22:47] I don't know much more than that [22:47] sorry :( [22:53] What is the page for the Ubuntu Marketing resources?
