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