| kahrytan | has anyone considered doing a campaign to get HP to do same thing Dell has done for Ubuntu? Bring about HP computer designed to run Ubuntu. | 07:40 |
|---|---|---|
| BHSPitLappy | they'll decide if they want to listen to customers, we can't make that decision for them | 08:08 |
| kahrytan | But we can encourage them. | 08:24 |
| kahrytan | We can do that by letting them know there is thousands of people waiting to buy HP w/ Ubuntu on it. That spells profit for them and they do want profit. | 08:25 |
| kahrytan | It's easy to do... try simple letters and stick one of those free stickers Canonical puts in envelops with shipit cds on the envelop sent to HP hq | 08:26 |
| Hobbsee | kahrytan: so, tell hp? | 08:28 |
| kahrytan | Another step would to print cardbord CDs using Ubuntu CD image and send it to HP hq. And Ubuntu sticker on envelop. | 08:28 |
| kahrytan | carboard ..cuz you want waste canonical's money doing it. | 08:28 |
| kahrytan | You know .. how the studios did when they brought that tv show i never watch anyways but millions of others did. | 08:29 |
| * Hobbsee wonders why kahrytan doesn't do some of his ideas himself, from where he is | 08:30 | |
| kahrytan | Because it seems .. uh.. pointless if ONE person does it | 08:30 |
| * Hobbsee thought you were involved in a loco? | 08:31 | |
| kahrytan | Why would 1 person matter to a companies bottomline. It won't. | 08:31 |
| kahrytan | I quit .. long time ago. Now defunct. | 08:31 |
| kahrytan | by long time ago, I mean 90 days ago. by defunct, I mean nothing has happened since then. | 08:33 |
