| acrousey | Is there a place to get materials for flyers and CD's and the like in order to get Ubuntu out to the public? | 19:50 |
|---|---|---|
| acrousey | like maybe stuff I can print out and leave around campus maybe? | 19:51 |
| shahriar86 | acrousey: for markteting? | 19:57 |
| shahriar86 | marketing? | 19:57 |
| shahriar86 | cd dvd cover and flyers? | 19:57 |
| acrousey | yeah | 19:57 |
| shahriar86 | can you hold a bit? | 19:58 |
| Flannel | acrousey: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing | 19:59 |
| shahriar86 | did you try ubuntu marketing team wiki? | 19:59 |
| shahriar86 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Materials | 19:59 |
| shahriar86 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Resources | 19:59 |
| Flannel | has a lot of stuff. We're working on a site to collect all this soon | 19:59 |
| shahriar86 | check Flannel's link too | 19:59 |
| Flannel | Please post anything you create :) | 19:59 |
| acrousey | are there any materials out for 8.10 | 19:59 |
| shahriar86 | not yet available sorry acrousey. | 20:00 |
| shahriar86 | not I official one | 20:00 |
| acrousey | oh | 20:00 |
| acrousey | no promos yet then? | 20:00 |
| shahriar86 | there have been talking but I am not sure. | 20:00 |
| shahriar86 | Flannel: any idea? | 20:00 |
| Flannel | acrousey: You should probably ask in #ubuntu-artwork, they'll know more about the state of intrepid stuff | 20:01 |
| acrousey | alright | 20:01 |
| acrousey | how much freedom do i have in making my own "marketing" things (flyers and the like)? | 20:04 |
| Flannel | acrousey: yes. | 20:05 |
| shahriar86 | you can do anything | 20:05 |
| shahriar86 | except terms should be same | 20:05 |
| acrousey | could i make my own T-shirt? | 20:06 |
| shahriar86 | ( I mean the sharing, copying, contributing etc,) | 20:06 |
| shahriar86 | yes acrousey | 20:06 |
| acrousey | and be a walking billboard? | 20:06 |
| shahriar86 | yes | 20:06 |
| shahriar86 | if you design anything dont forget to share it with us on the marketing wiki | 20:07 |
| acrousey | ok, that was one of the things i didn't know i would be able to do. Selling the T-shirt however at a higher price than the shirt cost would violate the terms of usage though, right? | 20:07 |
| acrousey | ok | 20:07 |
| acrousey | i'll try to share it | 20:07 |
| acrousey | thanks! | 20:07 |
| shahriar86 | not really acrousey | 20:07 |
| shahriar86 | if its for your funding of open source projec | 20:07 |
| shahriar86 | *project | 20:08 |
| shahriar86 | like funding loco team | 20:08 |
| acrousey | i'm not part of a loco team (i'm from the rural part of the midwest in the USA) | 20:08 |
| shahriar86 | you can sell t-shirt and materials for the purpose of survival and growth (not profit) | 20:08 |
| shahriar86 | even then you can sell if your true intention is to spread the news | 20:09 |
| acrousey | sweet, that's pretty cool | 20:09 |
| shahriar86 | but you really cant charge extream high price, for business gain | 20:09 |
| acrousey | that's what i was thinking | 20:10 |
| acrousey | ok, that's pretty awesome | 20:10 |
| Flannel | acrousey: You really ought to get in tch with your LoCo for material stuffs like that. Since buying in bulk is generally a lot easier | 20:10 |
| shahriar86 | cannonical or any other organization, team does not restrict any fair use | 20:10 |
| Flannel | And I'm sure they'd appreciate it too. | 20:11 |
| acrousey | i think the only LoCo for my area services several states | 20:11 |
| Flannel | Where are you? | 20:11 |
| shahriar86 | acrousey: then I think there are few sponsors who distributes in USA | 20:11 |
| acrousey | Iowa | 20:11 |
| shahriar86 | not sure about there location and market then | 20:11 |
| acrousey | yeah | 20:11 |
| acrousey | I can print flyers though and leave around CD's, right? | 20:12 |
| shahriar86 | yes acrousey | 20:12 |
| Flannel | acrousey: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IowaTeam #ubuntu-us-ia | 20:12 |
| shahriar86 | there you go :) | 20:12 |
| acrousey | thanks! | 20:13 |
| shahriar86 | sorry I cant really dig things to help you out acrousey,, my line is giving me trouble, I cant browse any website :( | 20:13 |
| shahriar86 | hope you found what you were looking for?] | 20:14 |
| acrousey | I found what i was looking for | 20:14 |
| acrousey | thanks! | 20:14 |
| shahriar86 | pleasure is ours, | 20:15 |
| shahriar86 | since you are trying to contribute as much as you can :) | 20:15 |
| shahriar86 | now on my part | 20:16 |
| shahriar86 | can anyone tell me what short term objective we are trying to achive? | 20:17 |
| shahriar86 | like coming months ? (ofcource there is the marketing campaign for intrepid) | 20:17 |
| shahriar86 | what next? and how we are planning to approach? | 20:18 |
| Flannel | shahriar86: A group of us are working on the Spread Ubuntu website (primarily the DIY part of it): a repository for marketing materials and a place for people to find/share/etc them easier | 20:18 |
| shahriar86 | yes I have heard about it Flannel | 20:18 |
| acrousey | Flannel: how far is that project? I was looking around about it this morning | 20:18 |
| shahriar86 | just looking around if I get any preview of the site | 20:18 |
| Flannel | Except for that, I think all the other people lost interest. They made a big splash with overarching organization changes, and never really followed through. | 20:19 |
| shahriar86 | well to be honest? there seems lack of goal and guidelines to achieve | 20:19 |
| Flannel | Its... sort of happening. I'm working on the backend for it, and recently got caught up in some LoCo stuff, GBJ and a few presentations, but I should be getting back into it again shortly. | 20:19 |
| Flannel | shahriar86: That's true. | 20:20 |
| Flannel | Well, except for specific projects | 20:20 |
| shahriar86 | we know about bug #1 but still, there should be a guideline where we want to be and how we are going there | 20:20 |
| Flannel | (and at the moment, I believe only that one project) | 20:20 |
| shahriar86 | Flannel: could not find any updated news about the projects | 20:20 |
| shahriar86 | it seems very quite over here | 20:20 |
| Flannel | Well, like I said, its just the SU project | 20:21 |
| Flannel | and, even with that, I agree with you that its quiet. | 20:21 |
| shahriar86 | yes, hopefully we all are looking forward it :) | 20:21 |
| shahriar86 | SU project | 20:21 |
| Flannel | That doesn't mean other things can't happen, they just aren't currently. | 20:21 |
| shahriar86 | well marketing is always about being in the viewpoint right? but ubuntu-marketing team is not even there :( | 20:22 |
| shahriar86 | humm yes Flannel, | 20:22 |
| shahriar86 | btw who is heading the team? | 20:22 |
| shahriar86 | I mean any structure? | 20:22 |
| shahriar86 | (not that it is a must ) | 20:22 |
| Flannel | Not really, no. Go read the last few meeting logs :) | 20:23 |
| shahriar86 | could not find them :( | 20:23 |
| shahriar86 | not regular :( | 20:23 |
| Flannel | Hmm, alright, I'll find them for you | 20:23 |
| shahriar86 | ok I know the links,, | 20:23 |
| Flannel | I know the last one wasn't even officially posted, as far as I know. | 20:23 |
| shahriar86 | humm ok | 20:23 |
| Flannel | And they have been regular, First Saturday of the month | 20:24 |
| shahriar86 | I am not a regular (or old in that matter) face in this world | 20:24 |
| Flannel | but... I think I was the only one at this months. Previous two (three?) happened though. | 20:24 |
| shahriar86 | yes.. | 20:24 |
| shahriar86 | I am learning my way around | 20:25 |
| Flannel | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Meetings/Minutes/2008-06-07 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Meetings/Minutes/2008-07-05 | 20:25 |
| Flannel | I take it back about the last one not being posted, since its right there. | 20:25 |
| shahriar86 | ok thanks | 20:25 |
| shahriar86 | will take a while to load then read | 20:25 |
| * Flannel notes that he's being a slacker and still hasn't done one of the items he was supposed to. | 20:26 | |
| Flannel | Maybe I'll knock that out today, heh. | 20:26 |
| shahriar86 | :) it happens to most of us Flannel | 20:26 |
| Flannel | shahriar86: I suggest just reading the raw logs, you'll probably get more out of it | 20:26 |
| shahriar86 | ok Flannel I will | 20:26 |
| shahriar86 | btw I am from Ubuntu-Bangladesh Loco team | 20:27 |
| shahriar86 | an internee you can say :P | 20:28 |
| shahriar86 | just enrolled | 20:28 |
| shahriar86 | is looking for ways to make the loco team more active, | 20:29 |
| shahriar86 | that is why hanging around on marketing team irc to learn something | 20:29 |
