dinostabOMGhi01:58
dinostabOMGthis is my first time on IRC but I want to help the marketing team if possible, ive been using ubuntu for a little more than a year01:58
dinostabOMGsorry if I wildly offend anyone with my noobishness01:58
FlanneldinostabOMG: Everyone's new sometimes, and no one on IRC gets offended easily anyway01:59
dinostabOMGhaha cool01:59
dinostabOMGam i in the right place?01:59
dinostabOMGi'm an animator and motion graphics designer, and i have an idea for a few short animated plugs for intrepid i am planning to do02:00
dinostabOMGand i thought i might let everyone know what im up to and see if i can integrate that with the marketing team's goals in any particular way02:01
dinostabOMGanyone have any thoughts about that02:03
FlanneldinostabOMG: animated plugs sound good02:08
dinostabOMGthanks. are there any particulars i should keep in mind before i get started or should i just get cracking02:08
FlanneldinostabOMG: I imagine just go for it would be best.02:26
Flannelor at least, good.02:26
dinostabOMGsounds good02:28

meoblast001HIIIIIII02:36
meoblast001Flannel: my sister and i thought up a funny commercial idea for Ubuntu02:36
meoblast001Flannel?02:37
meoblast001i want to tell you the idea02:37
Flannelmeoblast001: Alright02:41
meoblast001Flannel: we have 2 ppl02:42
meoblast001and one says..... "i just got a new computer.... then i went out and bought my operating system.... then i intalled it... my computer is running nice"02:43
meoblast001and then another guy says "wait a second"02:43
meoblast001"ppl actually buy operating systems?.... i thought that was a fairy tale"02:43
meoblast001Flannel: what do you think"02:53
meoblast001?*02:53
Flannelmeoblast001: Its sort of ambiguous.  You could be alluding to piracy just as easily to FOSS02:57
Flannelnot that the idea is bad, it just needs some polishing02:58
meoblast001Flannel: well that wouldnt be the end02:58
Flannelah!02:58
meoblast001it would then cut out with a ubuntu logo02:58
meoblast001and have a narraator02:58
meoblast001say "Ubuntu is free software.... it is available free of charge and is GNU software"02:58
meoblast001something like that02:58
meoblast001Flannel: would that make it better?02:59
Flannelthe content of the commercial (the stuff where people are actually doing whatever) would still be ambiguous and not really tied to Ubuntu at all.  Of course, there are plenty of 'real' commercials out there that do the same thing, so I guess its not the end of the world03:00
meoblast001Flannel: we need something funny03:01
meoblast001funny does 2 things03:01
meoblast001it keeps the commercial in the persons mind03:01
meoblast001and it gives a more laid back look to the product03:01
meoblast001something Ubuntu desperately needs03:02
meoblast001just because it's linux, some ppl like to think it's really hard to use03:02
