[19:50] <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?
[19:51] <acrousey> like maybe stuff I can print out and leave around campus maybe?
[19:57] <shahriar86> acrousey: for markteting?
[19:57] <shahriar86> marketing?
[19:57] <shahriar86> cd dvd cover and flyers?
[19:57] <acrousey> yeah
[19:58] <shahriar86> can you hold a bit?
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <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?
[20:01] <Flannel> acrousey: You should probably ask in #ubuntu-artwork, they'll know more about the state of intrepid stuff
[20:01] <acrousey> alright
[20:04] <acrousey> how much freedom do i have in making my own "marketing" things (flyers and the like)?
[20:05] <Flannel> acrousey: yes.
[20:05] <shahriar86> you can do anything
[20:05] <shahriar86> except terms should be same
[20:06] <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
[20:07] <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
[20:08] <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)
[20:09] <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
[20:10] <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
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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 :)
[20:13] <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 :(
[20:14] <shahriar86> hope you found what you were looking for?]
[20:14] <acrousey> I found what i was looking for
[20:14] <acrousey> thanks!
[20:15] <shahriar86> pleasure is ours,
[20:15] <shahriar86> since you are trying to contribute as much as you can :)
[20:16] <shahriar86> now on my part
[20:17] <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)
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <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.
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <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.
[20:22] <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 )
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <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..
[20:25] <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
[20:26]  * 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
[20:27] <shahriar86> btw I am from Ubuntu-Bangladesh Loco team
[20:28] <shahriar86> an internee you can say :P
[20:28] <shahriar86> just enrolled
[20:29] <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
