=== boredandblogging changed the topic of #ubuntu-marketing to: Welcome to the Ubuntu Marketing Team's IRC channel | We're here to fix Bug #1 | Keep in mind that whatever your LoCo does, any other LoCo can benefit from your work or experience! | Please sign up to the mailing list, ubuntu-marketing at lists.ubuntu.com | UWN #87 is out! UWN #88 in progress [07:42] hello beuno [07:51] hello guys [08:19] hello boredandblogging [08:36] it'd be nice to get some real pieces of information.. whether the embargo is truly now lifted, and whether it's recommended to distribute the press releases now or on Thursday [10:14] is the release available in Spanish at the moment? [10:39] hello jenda [10:40] hubuntu: there has been no feedback from the marketing team regarding which translations have been received or will they be made available somewhere [10:40] hello Mirv [10:41] hello rjian, too [10:42] I now also just noticed that we were provided with outdated press releases to be translated [10:42] Mirv, thanks.. I know there was a work for some languages, i guess the announcement will get posted on thursday in other languages... [10:42] boredandblogging: should we update the outdated translations and send updated to you? [10:42] really? [10:42] older, not the like the one at ubuntu.com right now? [10:43] well, looks like, looking at http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-8.04-lts-desktop - there are many quotes that were not in the texts that were sent to me at least [10:43] so everyone is busy for the translation :) [10:43] ok, I guess they changed it at the last minute [10:43] It's good to have it though as I am working on a presentation for next saturday [10:44] there just has been no information at all to us about anything :( [10:44] but, come on, we all knew what the features were... They just wrapped it nicely in an announcement [10:44] ;) [10:45] yep, but there was supposed to be some kind of co-operation and knowledge sharing about when something is released, and also regarding these translations [10:48] true, I thought it did, but as you said maybe not as 100% as some of us pictured ourselves it would be [10:51] * rjian does anyone know here about launchpad team "ubuntu media relation"? [11:42] ok, now I'd have up-to-date Finnish translations, and I'm planning on publishing those widely [11:42] are other LoCoTeams planning it too? [12:08] boredandblogging, are we supposed to write the translation link into the main page of the UWN or just it the added translations link? [12:08] boredandblogging, hi :) [12:10] johnc4510 ? [12:15] people are just too damn busy :) well, I'll spam boredandblogging once again when I put the stuff up at ubuntu-fi.org [12:19] ;) [12:19] Mirv, do you know of any resources for Ubuntu chics? [12:19] chics as in women?-) mainly http://ubuntu-women.org/ [12:20] There are girls in Ecuador trying top get organized and i thought welcoming them to Ubuntu-EC would be a nice starting point for more collaboration [12:20] we REALLY need more women in this community [12:20] hmm, yep, joining locoteam, and locoteam being receptive would be a good start. mentoring and fellow "chics" can be found from ubuntu-women.org [12:20] hmm, fast one [12:22] in south America those groups use the term Linux Chix ;) [12:22] hubuntu: after you left, I said: "hmm, yep, joining locoteam, and locoteam being receptive would be a good start. mentoring and fellow "chics" can be found from ubuntu-women.org" [12:22] that's what i though [12:23] but it would have to be in Spanish as most people there do not speak English [12:24] but maybe for those English speaking women is easier to get involed in women @ ubuntu and then use word-of.mouth guerrilla tactics ;) [12:25] anyway... I'll post that [12:25] thanks [12:28] yep, there might be Spanish speakers there, too, if one just starts writing Spanish on the ubuntu-women forums or mailing list [12:30] yeah I have a friend in Spain that's into that I think [12:30] I'm gonna ask her ;) [12:57] cody-somerville: can locoteams now start publishing our localized press releases. should we sent updated translations to both you and boredandblogging or only the other? [12:58] The embargo has been lifted. [12:58] And Canonical has published the English version. [12:58] LoCo Teams may now begin to publish their translated editions. [12:58] Feel free to post a copy on the wiki too if you'd like [14:07] NICE [14:07] anyone making it Spanish? [14:08] embargo? that remains so of my visit to cuba las t summer ;) [14:12] think beuno was doing it [14:41] he seems to be gone or asleep ;) === johnc4511 is now known as johnc4510 [17:25] is the official cd artwork for hardy available somewhere? it would be nice to be able to print some cds with the official covers for the release parties. thanks [17:30] beuno no translation in Spanish then? [18:15] Ubuntu Finland has released PDFs of the press release in Finnish :) http://www.ubuntu-fi.org/ (the three links in the top part of the page, two are server/desktop translations vs. ubuntu.com's releases, and the third one is our own) [18:16] they're also been spread to various media in both pdf and txt forms [18:45] Mirv, aren't those suposed to be kept secret till the final release time? [18:47] alefteris: no, it was lifted:14:58 < cody-somerville> The embargo has been lifted. [18:47] alefteris: the English releases are now at ubuntu.com and canonical.com, too [18:48] oh sorry then :| missed that [18:49] is't a bit strange to see release notes two days earlier.. [18:50] alefteris: press releases / marketing works a bit different from eg. release notes.. actual release note will be done on mailing lists etc. of course only when it's really available [18:50] still, I also find it a bit funny to read "8.04 desktop released" :) [18:51] alefteris, these press release is for the press so they can write about the real release [18:51] exactly, should be something like "anounsing" [18:52] yeah, those lovely journalist need to be prepared :) === _Czessi is now known as Czessi === Syntux_ is now known as Syntux === __Czessi is now known as Czessi === Twi|ighT is now known as hubuntu === hubuntu is now known as Twi|ighT [23:31] meeting in #ubuntu-meeting in 30 mins [23:48] meeting in #ubuntu-meeting in 15 mins [23:52] meeting in #ubuntu-meeting in 10 mins [23:55] meeting in #ubuntu-meeting in 5 mins [23:59] anyone here ?
