| desertc | Full Circle is doing interesting things with their newsletter and upcoming podcast. Are there other websites that have a rolling blog format on Ubuntu marketing topics? | 21:32 |
| boredandblogging | desertc: its something Burgundavia and I have talked about | 22:16 |
| boredandblogging | maybe doing something with the fridge | 22:16 |
| boredandblogging | maybe posting things and readng in feeds | 22:17 |
| Burgundavia | desertc: hmm? | 22:17 |
| desertc | Getting a rolling media source that is hyping the features of Ubuntu seems like a great idea. | 22:18 |
| Burgundavia | right | 22:18 |
| Burgundavia | turning the fridge into that is probably best | 22:18 |
| desertc | Well - the fridge can be rather dry and focused on team events. | 22:19 |
| desertc | It isn't what I would say is "hype" | 22:20 |
| Burgundavia | desertc: it depends on your goal | 22:20 |
| Burgundavia | news belongs on the fridge | 22:20 |
| Burgundavia | hype belongs on ubuntu.com | 22:20 |
| desertc | Oh, for sure. | 22:20 |
| Burgundavia | unless you have a specific campagin you want to run | 22:20 |
| desertc | But ubuntu.com is static. Getting something that was updated regularly that excited people and encouraged them to check back and to subscribe to the message... | 22:21 |
| Burgundavia | then fix ubuntu.com | 22:21 |
| Burgundavia | don't fork it | 22:21 |
| desertc | That would be effective, I think. Full circle is good, but hard to get excited about a PDF | 22:21 |
| desertc | Their podcast should have some good results. | 22:21 |
| desertc | Fix ubuntu.com ?? | 22:21 |
| desertc | Not sure you're being realistic, at this moment. | 22:22 |
| Burgundavia | ok, then | 22:22 |
| Burgundavia | explain your vision for what this page needs? | 22:22 |
| desertc | I am asking what resources are around that fit into this idea of hype for Ubuntu. | 22:23 |
| desertc | I am not saying anything is broken, if that's what you think. | 22:23 |
| Burgundavia | the fridge and ubuntu.com | 22:23 |
| Burgundavia | as for official resources | 22:23 |
| Burgundavia | millions of pages that are unofficial | 22:23 |
| desertc | Well, I mentioned Full Circle, initially. | 22:23 |
| Burgundavia | full circle is not (yet) official | 22:24 |
| desertc | There are the screencasts... | 22:24 |
| desertc | Do you consider Mark Shuttleworth's blog official? | 22:24 |
| desertc | The weekly newsletter... | 22:24 |
| Burgundavia | the screencasts are a function of the doc team, not the marketing one | 22:25 |
| Burgundavia | the UWN is very much official, but is more news | 22:25 |
| Burgundavia | marks blog is mark | 22:25 |
| Burgundavia | mark's | 22:25 |
| desertc | Hmm... | 22:25 |
| desertc | Thanks for your thoughts on the subject. | 22:26 |
| Burgundavia | no worries | 22:26 |
| Burgundavia | I really do want to create such a page | 22:26 |
| Burgundavia | but the simple reality is that Ubuntu has plenty of hype | 22:26 |
| Burgundavia | what we actually need is more accurate sources | 22:26 |
| Burgundavia | http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/article.php/31771_3709051_1 <-- here is a classic example | 22:28 |
| Burgundavia | we have plenty of people writing about us | 22:28 |
| Burgundavia | what we need to repsonses to such things | 22:28 |
| Burgundavia | to respond, rather | 22:29 |
| desertc | I do not think people respond to technical articles. | 22:34 |
| desertc | Sure, some do, but that doesn't really move people, especially not to check back for more information. | 22:35 |
| desertc | Marketing is about moving people on an emotional level, wouldn't you agree? | 22:35 |
| Burgundavia | I don't disagree | 22:35 |
| Burgundavia | we already do that quite handily | 22:35 |
| desertc | Examples? | 22:35 |
| Burgundavia | what I would like to see would be specific campaigns | 22:35 |
| Burgundavia | our whole "linux for human beings" is a great marketing line | 22:36 |
| desertc | That's just a line though... | 22:36 |
| * popey wakes at the mention of screencasts | 22:36 | |
| Burgundavia | popey: do you have that set to flash your irc client? | 22:36 |
| popey | yes | 22:37 |
| Burgundavia | desertc: but the fact is, we make it more than a line | 22:37 |
| desertc | where? | 22:37 |
| Burgundavia | in the fact that we make Linux easy to use for the average user | 22:37 |
| desertc | popey: What are your thoughts about public screening for screencasts? | 22:38 |
| desertc | *your screencasts | 22:38 |
| popey | explain further | 22:38 |
| desertc | Would I be able to get permission to show a screencast at the beginning of a LUG meeting? | 22:38 |
| popey | the license says yes you can | 22:39 |
| popey | i cant stop you doing that | 22:39 |
| desertc | Could I include the videos on a DVD that I pass around to people, either at meetings or for business? | 22:39 |
| desertc | I will check the CC licenses again. | 22:39 |
| popey | so long as you adhere to the license you can do what you like with them | 22:39 |
| popey | cc-by-sa is the one you need | 22:39 |
| desertc | Do you put attribution in your screencasts, or how do you recommend I make those attributions? | 22:40 |
| popey | there is a slide at the front and end | 22:41 |
| desertc | Good enough. | 22:41 |
| popey | they are (c) the ubuntu screencast team | 22:41 |
| desertc | I can think of many uses for these little guys. | 22:42 |
| popey | excellent :) | 22:42 |
| desertc | I am going to be presenting to high school students soon. It will be a nice intermission in speech. | 22:42 |
| desertc | *in my | 22:42 |
| desertc | Hmm --- public access television | 22:43 |
| desertc | :-) | 22:43 |
| somerville32 | desertc, They're going to give you enough time to have an intermission? | 22:44 |
| desertc | I have to find out the details, but better to have too much material than too little. | 22:44 |
| desertc | For the after school clubs, definitely. | 22:45 |
