[19:55] plop ? === guigouz is now known as Guest89861 [20:05] y'a t-il des français sur ce chan ? === Guest89861 is now known as guigouz === guigouz is now known as Guest50061 === Guest50061 is now known as guigouzplop [21:56] meeting in #ubuntu-uds-presidente in 25 mins [22:22] meeting now in #ubuntu-uds-presidente [22:23] video stream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/uds-lucid-1st-day [22:23] audio stream: http://icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/presidente.ogg.m3u [22:28] join #ubuntu-uds- presidente [22:29] munich: already told them =] [22:31] join #ubuntu-uds-presidente [22:31] oups [22:31] lol [23:08] huayra: I don't want to walk all the way over here... [23:08] neither do I [23:08] but do we have a choice? ;) [23:08] It's 11 channels over, my pinky hurts. Are we there yet? [23:09] yeah [23:10] for me it's only 4 [23:10] Flannel, the licensing [23:11] hi [23:11] hi AliTabuger7 [23:11] Do you think we got any closer to getting the domain? The canonical guy didn't seem to helpful. [23:11] It was Jono [23:12] lol [23:12] and I have at least 5 people within Canonical/Community council nagging at him already the last 3 weeks [23:12] I think he has got the message [23:12] well... I hope ;) [23:12] but is he the guy we need? [23:13] To be honest I don't believe Canonical is too keen on giving the domain to us as long as the site is hosted outside their site [23:13] but nobody is saying it [23:13] BUt I got that impression from MAtthew (ubuntu.com webmaster) [23:14] He seemed to be keen, but it doesn't help... [23:14] anyway [23:14] i don't care where its hosted [23:14] neither do I [23:14] as long as we can make changes [23:14] newz thought the drupal version was still out of date [23:15] we should probably make a 0.2 announcement or something [23:15] I wish we had talked more about this marketing kits and how we can produce them [23:16] but we might be able to clarify that in the meeting next week [23:16] we'll see... [23:16] huayra: spreadubuntu.com might be nicer than spread.ubuntu.com actually [23:16] they can do both [23:16] indeed [23:16] i like spreadubuntu.org the best [23:16] we are aiming at spreadubuntu.com and spreadubuntu.org [23:17] but we can have com and spread. both redirect to .org [23:17] and even spread.ubuntu.com [23:17] as long as we get one of them [23:17] the other redirections should be trivial really [23:19] Flannel, do you have faith in a Marketing Team revival as a group? [23:19] I believe we could get a lot more done by implementing good marketing processes [23:19] which means: making a platform for LoCos to target their market [23:20] but that has to be thought out propertly [23:21] huayra: What I'd like to see is some things where we collaborate on a global scale to make materials, instead of a localish one. Artwork is one thing, *words* are another. [23:22] Having some sources of good copy (I think that's what it's called) would be nice [23:22] can you please explain a bit more Flannel [23:22] :) I really want to hear more about that idea [23:23] well, like for my CD sleeves, all the text on there is borrowed from the official CD sleeves [23:23] the rev2 that's in the works isn't quite so much, and really, some of the wording is what's holding it up at 95% finished right now [23:24] We can do artwork as a community well, and we have been. But having a large repository of just text that I can copy/paste for flyers or brochures, or whatever, would make the creation of that stuff easier [23:24] "I need a paragraph that covers X and Y" "oh, here's one, hmm, a little too long, lets cut out that sentence" [23:25] instead of "what do we want to say about X and Y?" "alright, lets now revise it a few times" [23:26] That's the way I use to work with my marketing colleagues [23:26] That's one of the 'major' problems I've had when creating these things. (It's not a super big problem, but its what takes up most of the time) [23:27] what would such an activity be called? Text editos? [23:27] *editors [23:27] We usually fire up gobby and start by coming up with what topics we want to cover, and then writing sentences and combining them and culling bad stuff, etc. [23:28] This could all happen under SU too, instead of svgs and pngs and stuff, we just upload text documents, etc [23:28] see... You have a workflow that works. We need to document that and make that info available to other LoCos [23:28] or AMrketing contacts interested in helping out [23:28] If we get into the tagging stuff with drupal, it'd be a lot easier to categorize and expand into new things like this [23:28] yeah, that could be an idea [23:28] Yeah, it's something we can limp by doing, but i'm sure marketing people can churn it out much faster than we can [23:28] AliTabuger7, any thoughts on how we could implement that? [23:28] just like I can design electronics faster than they can. [23:29] certainly... I had a colleague which would always magically turn what I wrote into something really eatable marketing-wise [23:29] From what we said before (mind you, I don't do drupal), moving to a tagged set of content sounded doable, instead of strictly defined categories with an "other" category [23:30] Those same paragraphs/tidbits could easily be turned into presentations and other stuff too. [23:31] but moving into a more "freeform" site would probably allow this stuff to happen much easier (certainly without administrator interaction), so *we* don't have to think about every possible way it can be used. It'll be used however the users can find ways to use it. [23:32] Flannel, that is true. And we could present SU in a more Web 2.0ish fashion with a cloud of tags in the side or something [23:32] people love that [23:32] Makes it easier for the admin people and the users [23:32] huayra: I'm allergic to two point oh, but yes. [23:32] the Pyhton thingy you once propossed? [23:32] or a wiki ? [23:32] No, the tag based thing [23:32] Flannel, is just a way of talking.. It's hype. you know... [23:32] Oh [23:33] huayra: I'm allergic to hype :) [23:33] I am too, but at work I am all in for hype (I work with Marketing&Sales) [23:33] ;) [23:33] That python thing would've been a way to sync with a bazaar branch, [23:33] * huayra adapts to *any* situation [23:33] yeah [23:33] I'm not sure it'd be worthwhile [23:34] but it seems that SU solved that [23:34] as it is [23:34] Yeah [23:34] we have some revisioning which seems sufficient now [23:35] dpic, regarding the language detection: Do you think that it would be a good idea to get that information from LaunchPad instead of using the browser settings? [23:35] it would certainly make it all feel more cloudish (My language preferences anywhere as long as you use the LP OpenID, which SU does use by default) [23:36] Flannel, could you please elaborate that Tag idea in our idea pool? [23:36] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Projects/SpreadUbuntu/IdeaPool [23:36] I can do it if you are not keen [23:37] huayra: yeah, perhaps falling back on the browser setting [23:37] AliTabuger7, have you checked what options the Ubuntu-Drupal Launchpad module gives regarding getting data from LP? [23:38] huayra: Erm... I don't mind doing it, but I'm not sure where I'd put it. [23:40] the wiki :) [23:40] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Projects/SpreadUbuntu/IdeaPool [23:40] just make a new idea [23:40] you can use the idea Teamplate or just put up the idea there [23:41] Flannel :)
