[04:11] <ksoviero> do you think it would be a good idea to go to my local best buy, and offer them for me to setup an ubuntu demo pc?
[06:39] <BHSPitLappy> no
[06:39] <BHSPitLappy> reason: Best Buy is in Real Life
[06:40] <BHSPitLappy> where a plan like that doesn't make any damn sense
[09:47] <xivulon> I would like to launch a banner campaign for Wubi
[09:48] <xivulon> I was thinking of using the wiki since the spreadubuntu site is not up yet. Any suggestion?
[09:56] <Flannel> xivulon: Suggestions for what?
[10:00] <xivulon> Flannel: is there any better resource than the Wiki? we will have for instance html snippets pointing at the wiki attachments, is that acceptable? any issue with making GetUbuntu banners pointing to wubi.exe?
[10:01] <Flannel> Yeah, that should be fine.  I was just tryng to get a better feel to suggest things with.
[10:02] <xivulon> Well I was thinking to make it like a competition
[10:02] <Flannel> Right.  And people post designs/etc.  Yep.  Wiki is good for that (and that sort of thing has been done a number of times)
[10:03] <xivulon> And possibly advertising it a bit in ubuntuforum or even deviantart and such
[10:03] <xivulon> What could be used for a voting system?
[10:04] <Flannel> If you'd like, you could use the forums.  They have a polling system. (You could have submissions as forum posts if you want, although thats a little more clumbsy in my opinion)
[10:04] <xivulon> Also if I have an html tag pointing to the wiki image and people start pasting that into the website, it will generate load to the wiki. Is that ok?
[10:05] <xivulon> Ideally we should have the wiki for posting and maybe the forum or brainstorm for voting
[10:05] <xivulon> not sure exactly how
[10:05] <Flannel> Except the fact that the wiki tends to slow down a lot, it would be fine.  You might look for other places to host the submissions in use though.
[10:06] <xivulon> I could use sourceforge wubi hosting but that is less than optimal and I am not sure it is in compliance with the terms of service
[10:06] <Flannel> (we're talking hosting/linking once the winners are decided, yes?)
[10:07] <xivulon> correct, but I think we shouldn't prevent people from using non winners
[10:07] <Flannel> You could ask during the contest, and also afterwards, etc.  I'm sure you'll find ample people willing to mirror.
[10:07] <xivulon> What could we offer as prize?
[10:08] <Flannel> I don't believe hotlinking to the wiki is a problem... but it may be.  Oh.  #ubuntu-artwork might know more about it.
[10:10] <xivulon> could that be implemented as a brainstorm category? Do you know who is in charge for that? 
[18:47] <DPic> any diggers here?
