| DPic | i'm not sure if it's appropriate but could the LoCoActivism page get a spot in the ubuntu weekly newsletter? | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| boredandblogging | DPic: let me look at the page | 02:48 |
| boredandblogging | DPic: is there anything ubuntu or loco specific on that page? | 02:52 |
| DPic | boredandblogging: It's just an activism guide for loco teams | 12:38 |
| Mike_Feravolo | does anyone know where to get some decent templates for a event flyer | 14:41 |
| boredandblogging | jenda: ping | 18:07 |
| Mike_Feravolo | hey | 20:14 |
| boredandblogging | hello | 20:19 |
| Mike_Feravolo | do you know where to find any templates for Open Office or Scribus | 20:22 |
| Mike_Feravolo | The ones included with Scribus are even lamer then the one from the Washington State Software Giant | 20:24 |
| DPic | boredandblogging: so was the loco activism page not really relevant to the ubuntu weekly newsletter? | 23:02 |
| boredandblogging | DPic: I understand why you made the page, none of it is specific to Ubuntu | 23:05 |
| boredandblogging | or Linux | 23:05 |
| boredandblogging | maybe if you provided examples of how locos can apply them | 23:06 |
| DPic | yeah, i'm hoping it will become more free software specific as more people edit it and such | 23:07 |
| boredandblogging | yup | 23:07 |
| DPic | i was thinking that UWN could get it some needed attention saying something like "free software can now have a voice in government" but i guess that it would be more appropriate to have it in UWN after it has been finished up | 23:08 |
| DPic | do oyu have any ideas on how else i could get the page out to more people? | 23:09 |
| boredandblogging | you've done the mailing list thing already | 23:09 |
| boredandblogging | forums? | 23:09 |
| boredandblogging | the planet? | 23:09 |
| DPic | ah good idea | 23:09 |
| DPic | anything else? | 23:09 |
| boredandblogging | get your loco to help out as well | 23:09 |
| boredandblogging | :-) | 23:09 |
| DPic | what can i do with the planet? | 23:10 |
| boredandblogging | are you a member? | 23:10 |
| DPic | yes, but i don't have a blog | 23:11 |
| boredandblogging | then now would be a good time to start one | 23:11 |
| DPic | i've tried to start blogs before but i always end up failing to keep up with them | 23:12 |
| DPic | school and life and all | 23:12 |
| boredandblogging | thats fine, but this would be a good cause, just start one up at wordpress.com and get your cause some attention | 23:12 |
| boredandblogging | if it dies out later, oh well | 23:12 |
| DPic | alright i guess so | 23:13 |
| DPic | i understand wordpress might be better but is using blogger frowned upon? | 23:13 |
| boredandblogging | seriously doubt anyone is going to care | 23:14 |
| DPic | alright, i figured as much | 23:14 |
| DPic | do you have any suggestions for the page? do you like it so far? | 23:16 |
| boredandblogging | its got good content | 23:17 |
| DPic | just needs a lot of tweaking? | 23:18 |
| boredandblogging | for example, make the press release something a LoCo can actually use | 23:19 |
| DPic | what do you mean something a loco can actually use? | 23:23 |
| boredandblogging | create a real press release | 23:25 |
| DPic | sorry, i'm a little confused. there's an example press release on there. do you mean do something with that, or are you tlaking about making a press release to accounce the creation of the page? | 23:35 |
| boredandblogging | replace the example press release with a real press release LoCo can use | 23:36 |
| DPic | sorry if i'm just being dumb, but can't the example be used now? how should i change it? no matter what, loco's are going to have to edit it for whatever they're announcing | 23:40 |
| boredandblogging | probably, but it gives them a good starting poing | 23:42 |
| boredandblogging | s/poing/point | 23:42 |
| DPic | sorry, still confused-- what gives them a good starting point? the example press release? the example press release already exists...how should i change it? | 23:44 |
| boredandblogging | pretend you were writing a press release | 23:44 |
| DPic | okay | 23:44 |
| boredandblogging | a real ubuntu releated press release | 23:44 |
| DPic | ahhh i see | 23:45 |
| DPic | so just change the example text there to something about ubuntu? | 23:45 |
| boredandblogging | yeah | 23:45 |
| DPic | haha sorry about that | 23:45 |
| boredandblogging | no problem | 23:46 |
