[11:25] <xivulon> popey ping
[11:25] <popey> hi xivulon 
[11:25] <xivulon> hi
[11:26] <xivulon> I tried to launch this wubi banner campaign I mentioned last time on the forum
[11:26] <xivulon> but it does not take wings
[11:26] <xivulon> needs some redbull or your help :)
[11:26] <popey> haha
[11:26] <popey> what do you need?
[11:27] <xivulon> this is the announcement: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=957543
[11:27] <xivulon> I think we should publicize it more as the people on the forum are mostly there for support and then go away
[11:28] <xivulon> Also need maybe a more formal competition with some prizes (jono albums to start with)
[11:28] <popey> you could ask katkin if it's possible to get some merchandise?
[11:29] <xivulon> katkin ping
[11:29] <xivulon> let me know if you have any ideas on that, announcing that on ubuntu planet might attract more attention maybe
[11:30] <popey> sure, if you launch a competition ping me and I'll blog about it and mention it on the podcast
[11:31] <xivulon> well in theory I have already launched a competition...
[11:31] <popey> yeah, i meant if you wanted to re-launch - with prizes :)
[11:34] <katkin> xivulon: hi
[11:34] <xivulon> hi katkin, do you have any suggestion for the above?
[11:36] <popey> heh
[11:36] <xivulon> is ubuntu merchandise *that* expensive?
[11:37] <xivulon> kidding
[11:37] <katkin> xivulon: sorry, XChat just crashed on me, so I have lost the previous context of the discussion
[11:38] <katkin> xivulon: what is the project and why do you need merchandise?
[11:38] <xivulon> katkin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/70432/
[11:39] <xivulon> in particular see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=957543
[11:41] <katkin> xivulon: and why the merchandise?
[11:42] <xivulon> because the idea is to have a competition for banners
[11:42] <xivulon> people come up with cool banners, the community votes the best 3, and we (=you) give them some prize
[11:43] <xivulon> then hopefully other people will actually use the banners in their website, and we will get some new users to try ubuntu
[15:35] <xivulon> katkin, got anything to offer?
[15:37]  * MenZa bounces a little.
[15:57] <katkin> xivulon: I have asked the question internally and will get back to you
[15:57] <katkin> xivulon: please ping me in a couple of days if you haven't heard from me
[16:07] <xivulon> katkin: thanks a lot
[16:12] <katkin> xivulon: np
[21:53] <AliTabuger7> Hi everyone!
