| somerville32 | n2diy, whats your question? | 07:20 |
| n2diy | somerville32: are there any copywriters/marketers here? | 07:21 |
| somerville32 | We're all marketers :) | 07:21 |
| n2diy | yes, but any pros on board? | 07:21 |
| somerville32 | I don't know of anyone that does it for a living | 07:22 |
| n2diy | ok, so anybody else doing it as a hobby, besides me? | 07:23 |
| somerville32 | I think we all do it as a "hobby" | 07:23 |
| n2diy | In anybody propagating linux doing it? My local school district wants to upgrade Winders at $600 bucks per machine. | 07:25 |
| n2diy | And raise the taxes, of course. | 07:27 |
| n2diy | ! pastebin | 07:29 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 07:29 |
| desertc | n2diy: Sounds like a chance for someone to talk about open source in front of a school council meeting, in your area. | 07:35 |
| desertc | Have you attempted to contact the Ubuntu Local Community Team in your area? | 07:35 |
| n2diy | desertc: yes, that is why I thought I might get some pointers here? | 07:35 |
| n2diy | desertc: we don't have a local community here, the local LUG is 30 miles away. | 07:36 |
| desertc | Where do you live, please? | 07:36 |
| n2diy | desertc: Carbon County, PA., USA | 07:40 |
| desertc | Penn. has a wonderful Ubuntu Local Community Team, actually, in Philadelphia. Have you tried to contact them? | 07:41 |
| n2diy | desertc: Phila. is a two hour drive for me, the closest LUG is the Lehigh Valley LUG, an one hour drive for me. | 07:42 |
| desertc | The team is actually state-wide | 07:45 |
| desertc | Drop them a note on their mailing list, and I am sure they will get back to you with a solution. | 07:46 |
| desertc | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-us-pa | 07:48 |
| desertc | The Ubuntu LoCos are different and function different than the LUGs in your area. | 07:48 |
| n2diy | desertc: Roger that, I have email contact with the LVLUG, I'll look into the Phila. LUG | 07:54 |
| desertc | ... and you would contact them in addition to the Ubuntu LoCo? (just want to be sure I was clear) | 07:55 |
| desertc | :) | 07:56 |
| desertc | ...looking at all the channels n2diy is in. You are already in the LoCo already, perhaps? | 08:09 |
| n2diy | desertc: I don't understand your question? | 08:09 |
| desertc | I thought you were not already involved with the Ubuntu LoCo project, but maybe I had the wrong idea. | 08:10 |
| desertc | Good luck with your efforts, n2diy | 08:12 |
| n2diy | desertc: I don't think I am? I tried to become a Ubuntu sponser, or whatever it is called, and I don't think I was successfull.? I haven't heard anything to indicate I was? | 08:12 |
| n2diy | deserttc, ok, thanks. | 08:14 |
| n2diy | desertc, ok, thanks. | 08:14 |
| n2diy | desertc, good night. | 08:15 |
