[01:57] <dinostabOMG> allo?
[01:57] <bbyever> hi
[01:58] <dinostabOMG> hi
[01:58] <dinostabOMG> this 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 year
[01:58] <dinostabOMG> sorry if I wildly offend anyone with my noobishness
[01:59] <Flannel> dinostabOMG: Everyone's new sometimes, and no one on IRC gets offended easily anyway
[01:59] <dinostabOMG> haha cool
[01:59] <dinostabOMG> am i in the right place?
[02:00] <dinostabOMG> i'm an animator and motion graphics designer, and i have an idea for a few short animated plugs for intrepid i am planning to do
[02:01] <dinostabOMG> and 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 way
[02:03] <dinostabOMG> anyone have any thoughts about that
[02:08] <Flannel> dinostabOMG: animated plugs sound good
[02:08] <dinostabOMG> thanks. are there any particulars i should keep in mind before i get started or should i just get cracking
[02:26] <Flannel> dinostabOMG: I imagine just go for it would be best.
[02:26] <Flannel> or at least, good.
[02:28] <dinostabOMG> sounds good
[02:28] <dinostabOMG> catch you later
[02:36] <meoblast001> HIIIIIII
[02:36] <meoblast001> Flannel: my sister and i thought up a funny commercial idea for Ubuntu
[02:37] <meoblast001> Flannel?
[02:37] <meoblast001> i want to tell you the idea
[02:41] <Flannel> meoblast001: Alright
[02:42] <meoblast001> Flannel: we have 2 ppl
[02:43] <meoblast001> and 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] <meoblast001> and then another guy says "wait a second"
[02:43] <meoblast001> "ppl actually buy operating systems?.... i thought that was a fairy tale"
[02:53] <meoblast001> Flannel: what do you think"
[02:53] <meoblast001> ?*
[02:57] <Flannel> meoblast001: Its sort of ambiguous.  You could be alluding to piracy just as easily to FOSS
[02:58] <Flannel> not that the idea is bad, it just needs some polishing
[02:58] <meoblast001> Flannel: well that wouldnt be the end
[02:58] <Flannel> ah!
[02:58] <meoblast001> it would then cut out with a ubuntu logo
[02:58] <meoblast001> and have a narraator
[02:58] <meoblast001> say "Ubuntu is free software.... it is available free of charge and is GNU software"
[02:58] <meoblast001> something like that
[02:59] <meoblast001> Flannel: would that make it better?
[03:00] <Flannel> the 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 world
[03:01] <meoblast001> Flannel: we need something funny
[03:01] <meoblast001> funny does 2 things
[03:01] <meoblast001> it keeps the commercial in the persons mind
[03:01] <meoblast001> and it gives a more laid back look to the product
[03:02] <meoblast001> something Ubuntu desperately needs
[03:02] <meoblast001> just because it's linux, some ppl like to think it's really hard to use
[10:11] <rjian> hello can give me links for UWN?
