| doctormo | pleia2, cprofitt, greg-g: http://doctormo.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/ubuntu-classes-poster/ | 16:22 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | doctormo: is there a fee for this? | 16:23 |
| pleia2 | if so, should mention it :) | 16:23 |
| doctormo | pleia2: True, I took off the free tag from the previous design | 16:23 |
| doctormo | pleia2: Is organiser in american spelt with a z? | 16:30 |
| pleia2 | yes | 16:30 |
| cprofitt | doctormo, nice poster | 16:36 |
| cprofitt | doctormo, did I show you my new desktop? | 16:36 |
| Severity1 | doctormo, can peoplefrom remote location participate? | 16:36 |
| doctormo | Severity1: In this class no, it's a physical class, but I plan on processing one section at a time and I'll try and get introductions and course materials online if you want to keep up | 16:37 |
| doctormo | Oh by course introductions, I mean video | 16:37 |
| cprofitt | doctormo, tell me what you think -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7563229&postcount=224 | 16:38 |
| doctormo | cprofitt, pleia2: revision 2 btw | 16:38 |
| Severity1 | ahhhh thanks! im sure many will be interested! ^^ | 16:38 |
| cprofitt | I do believe in Amerglish its with a Z | 16:38 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: I think an additional attention-grabbing "Free!" tag would be useful, "Free" is too ambiguous a term in that context (could mean that there are training sessions on free-as-in-speech systems) | 16:40 |
| doctormo | pleia2: I'm trying to balance, I had an attention grabbing Free tag just a second ago, but advice from other community center teachers has made me rethink it since it'd attract people who are not interested in the course, they just know it's free. | 16:41 |
| pleia2 | LUGs don't have that problem | 16:42 |
| pleia2 | we put "Free!" on all our stuff | 16:42 |
| Severity1 | or Libre | 16:42 |
| pleia2 | (and people *still* ask) | 16:42 |
| pleia2 | but I think it helps a little :) | 16:43 |
| ziroday | people do loove free stuff | 16:43 |
| pleia2 | I have just never seen it be a problem in practice | 16:44 |
| doctormo | pleia2: I'm not sure what LUGs are like outside of Boston, but here the LUG is doing well if they message their own mailing list, let along others or posters. | 16:44 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: the philadelphia lug has about 700 members, 3 meetings per month, we sometimes have events with posters :) | 16:45 |
| pleia2 | we're big | 16:45 |
| pleia2 | one of the largest and most active in the world | 16:45 |
| doctormo | pleia2: My LoCo tends to stay away from the BLU (Boston LUG) it's stuffy, technical, none advocacy, not really interested in fresh blood, but then it is old. | 16:49 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: yeah, it helps that I run PLUG | 16:50 |
| pleia2 | it's still quite technical, but I have pulled it in the direction of less stuffy, and more advocacy | 16:50 |
| pleia2 | (mostly because that's more fun, for me) | 16:50 |
| cprofitt | doctormo, I would not make it free | 16:52 |
| cprofitt | doctormo, the advice I had from some organizers is charge $5 to reserve the seat and then refund the money when they show | 16:53 |
| cprofitt | that way you do not get people signing up and NOT attending | 16:53 |
| cprofitt | others also talk about 'value' - people devalue 'free' things | 16:54 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I have heard that argument as well | 16:55 |
| doctormo | pleia2: you heard that from me! | 16:55 |
| doctormo | cprofitt: Yes I understand that | 16:55 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: actually I think the first time was from emmajane :) | 16:56 |
| doctormo | :-P | 16:57 |
| doctormo | cprofitt: It's sometimes worth just pushing the money into refreshments :-D | 16:58 |
| pleia2 | mmm refreshments | 16:58 |
| doctormo | cprofitt: That screen is bueatiful by the way | 17:01 |

| Lns | doctormo: nice =) I still hate how the word 'daemons' has somehow transferred to 'services'..ugh. | 20:52 |
| Lns | see that everywhere now | 20:52 |
| doctormo | Lns: Services and Daemons are not the same thing, services can mean anything from disk space or ldap and doesn't really mean the running process. | 20:54 |
| Lns | doctormo: Gnome's "System -> Administration -> Services" app begs to differ | 20:55 |
| doctormo | Meh, close relationship | 20:55 |
| pwnguin | daemon is greek for life | 21:21 |
| pwnguin | daemons are processes that "live" without explicit users running or using them | 21:22 |
| doctormo | pwnguin: interesting | 21:41 |
