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