[07:17] <n2diy> any copywriters here? My local school board plans to spend big bucks upgrading their Windows system?
[07:20] <somerville32> n2diy, whats your question?
[07:21] <n2diy> somerville32: are there any copywriters/marketers here?
[07:21] <somerville32> We're all marketers :)
[07:21] <n2diy> yes, but any pros on board?
[07:22] <somerville32> I don't know of anyone that does it for a living
[07:23] <n2diy> ok, so anybody else doing it as a hobby, besides me?
[07:23] <somerville32> I think we all do it as a "hobby"
[07:25] <n2diy> In anybody propagating linux doing it? My local school district wants to upgrade Winders at $600 bucks per machine.
[07:27] <n2diy> And raise the taxes, of  course.
[07:29] <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)
[07:35] <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?
[07:36] <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?
[07:40] <n2diy> desertc: Carbon County, PA., USA
[07:41] <desertc> Penn. has a wonderful Ubuntu Local Community Team, actually, in Philadelphia.  Have you tried to contact them?
[07:42] <n2diy> desertc: Phila. is a two hour drive for me, the closest LUG is the Lehigh Valley LUG, an one hour drive for me.
[07:45] <desertc> The team is actually state-wide
[07:46] <desertc> Drop them a note on their mailing list, and I am sure they will get back to you with a solution.
[07:48] <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.
[07:54] <n2diy> desertc: Roger that, I have email contact with the LVLUG, I'll look into the Phila. LUG
[07:55] <desertc> ... and you would contact them in addition to the Ubuntu LoCo?  (just want to be sure I was clear)
[07:56] <desertc> :)
[08:09] <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?
[08:10] <desertc> I thought you were not already involved with the Ubuntu LoCo project, but maybe I had the wrong idea.
[08:12] <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?
[08:14] <n2diy> deserttc, ok, thanks.
[08:14] <n2diy> desertc, ok, thanks.
[08:15] <n2diy> desertc, good night.
