| jcastro | mgunes: did the nautilus sticky on the forums disappear? | 01:45 |
|---|---|---|
| mgunes | jcastro, I unsticked it for the while; too many stickies. the Hug Day sticky links to it anyway. | 02:10 |
| mgunes | and it stays on top because people keep posting to it | 02:10 |

| Monkee_Of_Evil | anyone in? | 16:04 |
| clarke8 | yep | 16:14 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | howdy | 16:42 |
| Mike_Feravolo | hello | 21:38 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | howdy | 21:38 |
| Mike_Feravolo | Anything new in the world of marketing ? | 21:39 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | erm, I'm new to the marketing team | 21:41 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | but uhh... im trying to bring the survey effort back to life. | 21:41 |
| Mike_Feravolo | that's cool, what part of the world are you from | 21:42 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | houston,tx, usa | 21:42 |
| Mike_Feravolo | cocoa beach, Fla/ | 21:42 |
| Mike_Feravolo | I am starting a business networking group in Orlando to promote the concept of free software to people | 21:43 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | Does orlando have a loco? | 21:44 |
| Mike_Feravolo | Florida Does | 21:45 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | yeah | 21:45 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | Texas is having trouble getting a loco going | 21:45 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | Houston has a decently active one | 21:45 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | but texas is so frickin big | 21:46 |
| Mike_Feravolo | The Loco idea is okay, but I am looking for people that don't even know Ubuntu exists | 21:46 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | yeah | 21:46 |
| Mike_Feravolo | Basicly introducing free software to Windows(R) users | 21:47 |
| Mike_Feravolo | that free as is freedom | 21:47 |
| Mike_Feravolo | correction: Free as in Freedom | 21:48 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | indeed | 21:48 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | I'm trying to whip the houston loco into shape myself | 21:49 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | 4th biggest city in the US and we cant consistently break the 10+ people @ a meeting barrier. | 21:51 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | it's retarded. | 21:51 |
| Mike_Feravolo | The problem that I found with the loco thing is exactly that, the same few people show up for the meetings | 21:52 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | I blame bad group leadership honestly | 21:54 |
| Mike_Feravolo | Which is why I am starting a group at a Coffee Shop and promoting though the Chamber of Commece and local media | 21:54 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | Houston team used to have 20+ people and they moved the mailing list to google groups | 21:54 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | that was the end of it | 21:54 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | they also wanted to have a "roaming meeting locations" across the city | 21:54 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | Houston is fucking HUGE | 21:54 |
| Mike_Feravolo | Did you try meetup.com | 21:55 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | naw | 21:56 |
| Mike_Feravolo | The Lugs are a good idea, but often turn into Ubuntu vs Fedora vs Slackware vs . . . flame wars | 21:57 |
| Mike_Feravolo | I like the google groups better also, meetup.com costs money | 21:57 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | http://groups.google.com/Ubuntu-Houston-Team | 21:58 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | errr | 21:58 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | http://groups.google.com/group/ubuntu-houston-team | 21:58 |
| Mike_Feravolo | I just started mine I am the only menber: http://groups.google.com/group/software-freedom | 22:00 |
| Mike_Feravolo | As with all of these things I expect one person to show up for the first meeting | 22:01 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | lol | 22:02 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | Yeah | 22:02 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | It'll take a while | 22:02 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | I want to have an Ubuntu confrence here in Houston | 22:02 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | @the George R. Brown convention center | 22:03 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | buuuuut | 22:03 |
| Mike_Feravolo | What about Orlando, we got Mickey Mouse | 22:03 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | I gotta get the loco organized enough to organize something like that | 22:03 |
| Mike_Feravolo | Florida is also a big state and I think Loco should be organized at the city level | 22:04 |
| Mike_Feravolo | It's hard to get people to drive five hours to a meeting | 22:05 |
| Mike_Feravolo | got to go, nice talking with you | 22:07 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | you too | 22:10 |
| desertc | Mike_Feravolo: How do you promote events through the chamber of commerce? | 22:20 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | He's targeting businesses | 22:21 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | which is why | 22:21 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | I guess | 22:21 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | he said he was heading out | 22:21 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | so I doubt he'll reply | 22:21 |
| desertc | I'll target anyone | 22:25 |
| desertc | anyone who will listen. :) | 22:25 |
| desertc | I am thinking of going to the plumbing conference in town next week to see if they are interested . | 22:25 |
| desertc | This marketing team seems to focus on marketing to other ubuntu people. Not sure I agree with the methods. | 22:26 |
| desertc | At least not for the goal of fixing Bug #1. | 22:26 |
| Mike_Feravolo | desertc, Basicly you join a chamber of commerce and then get out there and see want happens | 23:26 |
| desertc | what do you mean by 'get out there' - where is there? | 23:57 |
