[02:31] <desertc> Any team leads here?
[02:37] <Burgundavia> desertc: sort of
[02:41] <desertc> I have been looking forward to talking to someone about team efforts.
[02:41] <desertc> But then, you were just telling me in #edubuntu that you wouldn't be able to help me out... Hmm!
[02:42] <desertc> I'll find one of the rock stars around here soon enough and start the conversations.
[04:17] <Burgundavia> hey Madpilot_
[04:17] <Madpilot_> greetings
[04:19] <Burgundavia> desertc: what are you looking for help for?
[04:19] <desertc> Just looking for an opportunity to help a larger effort, B.
[04:28] <Burgundavia> ahh
[04:30] <Burgundavia> well, there are not a lot of existing project at the project level
[04:30] <Burgundavia> there are some at the loco team level
[04:31] <Burgundavia> what sort of things did you want to work on?
[04:32] <desertc> 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] <desertc> I'd like to follow the lead of others to promote the ideas of using Ubuntu in schools, for one thing.
[04:34] <desertc> What sort of projects can I get started on?
[04:40] <elkbuntu> 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] <Burgundavia> hmm, well, we need some stuff to hand out
[04:40] <desertc> elkbuntu: Burgundavia said in #edubuntu that I should come here to ask.
[04:40] <elkbuntu> oh...
[04:40] <desertc> Low and behold Burgundavia is here, too!  :)
[04:41] <Burgundavia> desertc: I am everywhere
[04:41] <desertc> But at least someone is responding.  I've been asking around for the last couple days without much response.
[04:41] <elkbuntu> 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] <desertc> 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] <desertc> At this time, I am looking to work under some bigger effort to follow someone else's lead for a bit.
[04:43] <Burgundavia> teachers are good people to talk to
[04:43] <desertc> That's not true, in my opinion.
[04:43] <Burgundavia> people higher up the chain require things like SLAs and boring junk like that
[04:44] <Burgundavia> that is a conversation for somebody at Canonical (or what I used to do at Useful)
[04:44] <Burgundavia> Userful, rather
[04:44] <Burgundavia> for a community activist, your teacher is your best bet
[04:47] <desertc> 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] <Burgundavia> one of the best ways you could help would be to tell people what you are hearing at these conferences
[04:48] <Burgundavia> work on some flyers, etc, based on that knowledge
[04:49] <desertc> Not sure how that is working with anyone.  Maybe I am not making myself clear.
[04:49] <desertc> I'll check back with you all later.
[04:49] <Burgundavia> hmm, that went well
[04:49] <Burgundavia> ugh
[19:54] <juliux> MenZa, you are not allreay ubuntu member?

[20:37] <MenZa> heh
[20:37] <MenZa> :)
[20:42] <desertc> 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] <desertc> Any resources I can look at from people who have done similar programs?
[20:44] <juliux> desertc, perhaps you can ask Riched in #edubuntu oder #ubuntu-education he is the education manager for ubuntu
[20:45] <desertc> 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] <juliux> desertc, he is busy with traveling 
[20:47] <desertc> I left my telephone number...
[20:48] <juliux> ok
[22:21] <desertc> 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] <Vorian> desertc, you could try the loco teams in the us
[22:31] <Vorian> #ubuntu-us
[22:32] <desertc> I am involved with the LoCo teams already.  What did you have in mind?
[22:36] <Vorian> hmm
[22:37] <Vorian> I think the Colorado team had done something along the same lines with Public Libraries
[22:38] <desertc> Same thing?
[22:38] <desertc> What do you mean?
[22:47] <Vorian> desertc, All I remember is a message was sent (in some form) to the Public Library system in Colorado.
[22:47] <Vorian> I don't know much more than that
[22:47] <Vorian> sorry :(
[22:53] <desertc> What is the page for the Ubuntu Marketing resources?
