=== Grantbow_ is now known as Grantbow [09:46] God morgen [14:01] Good Day People === smeag0l is now known as smeg0l === teeks99_ is now known as teeks99 [20:33] Just got a reasonable idea [20:33] Perhaps some people could create Lightscribe labels for LiveCDs [20:34] Because I may consider at some point of doing that for the LiveCDs I'll be burning eventually [20:35] It'd look quite professional (with the appropriate disc color) without having to spend a lot of money on print materials and ink [21:50] greetings, friends! [21:50] is anyone here right now? [21:52] Yes [21:58] I just stumbled in after some random clicking. I'm very dedicated to the mission to raise awareness of Linux. Could you fill me in here? [22:09] Sorry for my delayed responses, I'm just a little distracted. [22:09] Have you used Linux yourself at all, or? [22:14] Otherwise I'm very sorry, but I may be leaving shortly. Hopefully someone else may help you further on the topic; additionally I may return later in the day [22:19] I've used linux off and on for years, and now use it almost exclusively since early fall [22:19] I don't even have windows installed right now [22:19] Ahh, Ubuntu mainly? [22:19] nope [22:20] haven't settle on a distro [22:21] As for a general Linux marketing, I don't quite have a solid source to direct you to for that field of marketing [22:21] Do you have any abilities you'd be willing to contribute to such efforts? [22:21] Graphic design, simply spreading the word, etc [22:22] I use Ubuntu plenty and endorse it for anyone who my have trouble learning to do what ubuntu does for the user. [22:22] I'm fairly good with graphic design and multimedia communications. [22:25] As a side note, see if you can become a commoner of this channel. And perhaps invite a few other people you know as well to join [22:26] Just need to get more active members, then I think the marketing team could start having things like regular meetings and so forth [22:27] I was, in fact, President of my high school's Video Production Club, a member of the community access news team, and a DJ for the local cable radio station, so I have experience in marketing and media. [22:27] There just seems to occasionally be rather enthusiastic people that come in completely desiring to help promote it, but to come and realize that this channel is a bit slow/quiet [22:28] ahh, good [22:28] I'm generally paid to be a web developer/designer, additionally I'm a photographer (and could probably do cinematography at the side as well) [22:29] Today I had the idea of creating a spiffy Lightscribe label that I could use for burning LiveCDs so that I wouldn't have to waste money on printing materials [22:31] But yea, it would be very helpful if you're willing to become a commoner and contribute material, or simply start some discussions to make it a little more active here [22:31] I fix computers and offer support in my free time. I reccomend trying Ubuntu to everyone, and take the time to clear up misconceptions... [22:32] the most common fear that I encounter is that they'll somehow damage their existing windows system and won't be able to change their minds... [22:32] this is when I expalin the use of live CDs and wubi installations [22:33] ahh [22:33] So far I've done about.. 5 Linux installations [22:34] I might get about 3-4 more by installing Ubuntu on each laptop of a friend's family as well [22:34] The simply main question I always get is "Why doesn't everyone just use Ubuntu then?" [22:35] I may return in about 20 minutes; otherwise probably later tonight. [22:35] Hope to see you soon again, bye
