[22:09] <pep> just for people who forgot: meeting in #ubuntu-meeting right now.
[22:16] <Grantbow> hmmm...   :-)
[22:17] <pep> you never know :)
[22:18] <Grantbow> I guess bug #1 isn't important today
[22:18] <pep> why that?
[22:18] <Grantbow> if it was important people would show up to the meeting if the /topic is to be believed
[22:19] <pep> yes
[22:19] <pep> there would be more people indeed
[22:20] <Grantbow> I think it's hard to argue with a nice day on a Saturday
[22:22] <pep> It is 23:22 here :)
[22:23] <pep> so the day is over ;)
[22:44] <owh> pep: So, what was that you asked?
[22:44] <pep> yes
[22:45] <pep> so.. this is SU intern... are you all up-to-date concerning SU?
[22:45] <owh> Not really, my Internet connection has been mostly gone for the last month.
[22:45] <pep> just would like to get some feedback.. you're imression on things...
[22:45] <pep> ah ok, that's what I thought.. (something like that ;)
[22:45] <owh> (And I replaced my N95 three times, no phone, no Internet [22:46] <pep> hehe
[22:46] <owh> It's a tad hard running an Internet consultancy without either :(
[22:46] <pep> yeah I understand
[22:46] <pep> well, I tried to put the wiki in shape
[22:47] <pep> and with that and the archives of the mailing list you should wuickly be up to date
[22:47] <pep> you probably saw my mockup for design... it's just a proposal for the type of design, not the actual design.. having these 2 parts "browse" and "upload" ...
[22:47] <pep> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/SpreadUbuntu/diy#head-c94f2d7b8513ef24aee314c529b1ad7b9a0ffb79 for more details
[22:48] <owh> Cool. I've not yet decided how much time I want to commit to all this. My main focus is still ubuntu-server.
[22:48] <pep> Ok
[22:48] <pep> good that you say that!
[22:48] <pep> :)
[22:48] <owh> I'm not saying that I do not want to be involved, it's not like that at all, but I have only 24 hours in a day.
[22:48] <pep> ah yes, I understand very well
[22:49] <owh> But I'm available as a resource. I'm an experienced software developer, web-developer and have been building databases for 15 years. I write a mean document for end-users and I can fly aeroplanes :)
[22:50] <pep> hehe :)
[22:50] <pep> fine
[22:50] <Flannel> owh: Basically, spreadubuntu.com is a thin layer of static pages so people get an idea as to why theyd want to try ubuntu,what ubuntu is, etc.  (Ideally what ubuntu.com would be, except it cant, because it has to cater to developers, community, etc)  That part of the site gets to inform people and shield them from that other stuff (which allows us to talk to them and them alone)
[22:50] <Flannel> owh: And then the diy.spreadubuntu.com is the repository for all of our stuff. Its really the main project of the two
[22:51] <owh> So, is anyone writing content for the static part?
[22:51] <pep> Flannel: you seem one of the most concerned about the "Site" part as I call it... maybe you can complete this page I frankly neglected: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/SpreadUbuntu/Site
[22:52] <pep> I honestly don't count on putting too much into the Site for now... but maybe if it is well started
[22:52] <Flannel> pep: Not really concerned, but yeah, I've been meaning to flesh that out
[22:52] <owh> That was going to be my next question, what specs :)
[22:52] <Flannel> pep: I don't either.  The best part of it is that the site not being finished won't affect the diy part at all
[22:52] <pep> yes
[22:52] <pep> exactly
[22:53] <owh> Hmm, I'm just wondering.
[22:53] <Flannel> owh: The marketing team will be.  All those people who talked about being affluent writers and stuff, we were hoping they'd contribute
[22:53] <owh> I was about to say: "I'll think about how to "spread" the word.", but then I realised that the LoCo's have been doing that all along.
[22:53] <Flannel> owh: Since the people involved with SU right now seem to be mostly code people
[22:54] <pep> Flannel: I'm not so much of a code person to be honest :)
[22:54] <Flannel> owh: We're also hoping to have people tell their friends, etc
[22:54]  * owh is flying code monkey with writing experience :)
[22:54] <owh> s/is/is a/
[22:54] <Flannel> owh: A lot of us are
[22:55] <owh> Flannel: What, you can fly?
[22:55] <owh> :)
[22:55] <Flannel> owh: Horizontally
[22:55] <owh> Seriously, I was more referring to the notion that we should not have to devise content, the LoCo's will have 99% of it.
[22:56] <owh> The text for the 'static' part can come from them.
[22:56] <owh> Or am I completely misunderstanding the intent?
[22:56] <Flannel> owh: I'm not sure the LoCos will write it
[22:57] <Flannel> We can of course ask, and I'm sure some will contribute
[22:57] <Flannel> but thats no different than you or I writing some of it
[22:57]  * Flannel is assuming owh is a part of his LoCo
[22:57] <owh> Nope.
[22:57]  * owh has not actually looked for a Perth LoCo :)
[22:58] <owh> I've been contemplating joining the Australian one, but as I said to pep, there are only 24 hours in a day.
[22:58] <Flannel> owh: The spreadubuntu site (as I see it) is an introduction to Ubuntu (what it is, why you'd like it, how to try it, etc) which includes how to participate.  Mainly: spreading the word (and look! here's all this content from the DIY site to help) and join your LoCo
[22:59] <bbyever> Flannel: i think LoCos would volunteer for writing content, at least a lot of the Spanish speaking LoCos would be willing
[22:59] <owh> Ok, so our 'static' site needs to be multi-linguial.
[22:59] <pep> of course
[22:59] <pep> diy too
[22:59]  * owh adds this to the wiki
[23:00] <Flannel> bbyever: I dont doubt they would, but we aren't in the business of demanding work from people.  We'll ask, and see if anyone feels like doing it.
[23:00] <bbyever> ok
[23:00] <Flannel> bbyever: But I imagine it probably won't be a LoCo activity, but just members of the LoCo
[23:00] <pep> yeah
[23:00] <bbyever> yeah
[23:00] <Flannel> which is no different than me coming here and writing stuff.
[23:00] <Flannel> unlike owh.
[23:00] <Flannel> :)
[23:01] <owh> :)
[23:01] <pep> Right... about time
[23:01]  * pep is back to bed
[23:01] <Flannel> But the primary focus for most of us right now is the DIY site.  It can hold its own before the static site comes along on top of it, and itll also take the most time to put together
[23:01] <pep> see you
[23:02] <Flannel> pep: night
[23:02] <bbyever> (on another thing) owh: could you email me the MootBot log please?
[23:02] <bbyever> pep: bye
[23:02] <owh> Thanks pep
[23:02] <Flannel> bbyever: It'll also be on the official logs too
[23:02] <owh> bbyever: Done
[23:03] <owh> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/SpreadUbuntu/Site
[23:03] <owh> Also done.
[23:03] <Flannel> Alright, I'm going as well.  Talk to you all later.  Thanks for the meeting today guys.
[23:03] <owh> Flannel: I stole your paragraph on that page.
[23:03] <owh> s/on/and put it on/
[23:03] <owh> "The intent...'
[23:04] <bbyever> owh: thanks
[23:04] <owh> bbyever: np
[23:04] <bbyever> Flannel: yes, but its easier if they're already separated
[23:04] <owh> See you all later.
[23:04] <bbyever> bye, owh, Flannel
