| ruiboon | Hi. my area here is having an IT show where they sell it products. While, i am glad that there are more laptop preinstalled with ubuntu are being sold, the salesman seems to be lacking in knowledge about ubuntu. May i suggest that we come out with a 'idiot's guide to selling ubuntu laptops' to bridge the gap? | 07:32 |
| Burgundavia | ruiboon: you could write one yourself. sounds like a great project | 07:36 |
| ruiboon | Burgundavia: indeed. i was wondering if there are already materials available as i am not great with design/graphics | 07:42 |
| Burgundavia | ruiboon: check out the DIY page on the wiki | 07:42 |
| ruiboon | Burgundavia: thanks for the reference. i am going to add this idea to brainstorm as well soon | 07:48 |
| Burgundavia | a generic "how to sell ubuntu" would be cool | 07:48 |

| * pep joins the moan. | 13:54 | |
| * cody-somerville prods Jono. | 18:15 | |
| pep | what I see on this list goes further than what I have ever seen since I am involved in FLOSS projects... | 18:25 |
| cody-somerville | pep, lol | 18:27 |
| cody-somerville | What do you mean by that? | 18:27 |
| pep | just letting it out... I just find some things incredible | 18:28 |
| pep | It is not that I am against initiative | 18:28 |
| pep | but it seems kind of unreal to me what I am reading | 18:28 |
| pep | for me, FOSS projects have always gone pair with a great respect of the more experienced | 18:29 |
| pep | it is what I learned very soon when i entered the Linux community | 18:29 |
| pep | when you come into a new project, you watch. | 18:29 |
| pep | you just look around you, and you're nothing, until you have gained yourself a certain respect and recognition from the more experienced members | 18:30 |
| pep | which of course does not at all interfere with bringing new ideas and projects, and skills or any initiative... | 18:30 |
| pep | but here I just constantly stare at my screen astonished... | 18:31 |
| pep | I don't know if you understand | 18:31 |
| izamryan | :-) | 18:31 |
| izamryan | the recent developments on the mailing list are quite interesting, yeah hehe | 18:32 |
| pep | indeed :) | 18:32 |
| cody-somerville | indeed | 18:38 |

| Flannel | pep, cody-somerville: It is unreal. I'm not really sure where such large rifts in understanding come from | 19:34 |
| cody-somerville | :] | 19:35 |
| Flannel | If it continues, I think we should seriously considering bringing it to the CC | 19:35 |
| * pep points out that there is new email on ubuntu-marketing. Consider reading it carefully... | 20:30 | |
| pep | I understand this, and I think to be experienced enough to realize what is happening. | 20:31 |
| pep | But I am afraid I only have three years of experience in actively participating in FOSS projects, a little more than a year in Ubuntu, I am only 19 years old, 20 this year, and furthermore, relatively new to the marketing team. I cannot allow myself to say certain things. | 20:32 |
| pep | I don't know... but I think it is the role of more experienced/respected and listened-to people to interfere. | 20:33 |
| Flannel | pep: I wouldn't say three years is a small amount of time. And age doesn't matter. I think the problem is that there are people who extremely unfamiliar, and aren't listening... period, and instead are sticking to their ideas as "the only" right way | 21:04 |
| pep | Flannel: I share your view. | 21:42 |
