| cob-olp1 | bobweaver: nice idea | 05:09 |
|---|---|---|
| cob-olp1 | bobweaver: I'm trying to do something similar, but on pandaboard which we have in a company that I work for | 05:12 |
| bobweaver | So I am uploading ISO of what I got for others to play with says it is going to take abut 7 hrs or so | 17:32 |
| bobweaver | and yes I am still porting to nux and yes it is a pain in the butt and yes I am not sure that I can do this :) have a good one I am off to set up demo of Ubuntu TV at a local computer shop . | 17:35 |
| bobweaver | ping popey | 19:45 |
| popey | yo bobweaver | 19:45 |
| bobweaver | hey there | 19:45 |
| bobweaver | I have some questions | 19:45 |
| popey | fire away | 19:45 |
| bobweaver | I just got 13 stores that want to carry Ubuntu | 19:45 |
| bobweaver | I get live cds from my head loco guy | 19:46 |
| popey | carry as in have the cds on show in store? | 19:46 |
| bobweaver | but I do not have enough and I am also running out of time for all of the things that I am doing | 19:46 |
| popey | or carry as in ship machines with it pre-installed? | 19:46 |
| bobweaver | yes and preinstalled also | 19:46 |
| bobweaver | one store wants me to set up a puppet center | 19:46 |
| popey | sounds exciting | 19:47 |
| bobweaver | they are a computer recycling center that sells used computers | 19:47 |
| bobweaver | How can I talk to some one at canonical about this ? | 19:47 |
| bobweaver | or who to get a-hold of | 19:47 |
| popey | about which aspect? | 19:47 |
| bobweaver | the cds | 19:47 |
| popey | you can order CDs from the store | 19:47 |
| popey | or burn your own of course | 19:48 |
| bobweaver | getting more then my loco guy gives me | 19:48 |
| popey | or get someone to burn them for you | 19:48 |
| popey | we generally ship more cds to people for events / conferences and the like | 19:48 |
| popey | not for businesses to sell/use | 19:48 |
| popey | but of course some may find their way into the hands of people who run businesses, we can't control that | 19:48 |
| bobweaver | think about he ammount of people that will get it thou | 19:48 |
| popey | sure | 19:49 |
| popey | but it doesnt scale | 19:49 |
| popey | if everyone did that in their town we woudl spend all our money on making cds | 19:49 |
| bobweaver | maybe if I make like a fake package like windows does | 19:49 |
| popey | and none on developers making the software ☺ | 19:49 |
| bobweaver | lol | 19:49 |
| popey | great though it is to advocate ubuntu \o/ | 19:49 |
| popey | we cant really finance every business wanting to use it | 19:49 |
| bobweaver | I could just have like the cardboard shefs | 19:50 |
| popey | we provide the artwork and iso image.. all you need is a cd | 19:50 |
| bobweaver | that is what I am looking for not the cds them selfs | 19:50 |
| bobweaver | and stands | 19:50 |
| bobweaver | stuff like that | 19:50 |
| popey | yeah, we used to do those cardboard trays | 19:50 |
| bobweaver | not the acuaual cds | 19:50 |
| popey | but we don't anymore | 19:50 |
| bobweaver | dang | 19:50 |
| popey | we don't have point of sale stuff | 19:50 |
| popey | somoene should design that | 19:50 |
| popey | and put the designs on spreadubuntu or something | 19:51 |
| bobweaver | like lemon ? | 19:51 |
| popey | that would be awesome | 19:51 |
| popey | then people could make their own | 19:51 |
| popey | or get a company to make them for them | 19:51 |
| popey | those cardboard things last longer than the CDs they contain, so you wouldn't need to buy them as consumables | 19:51 |
| bobweaver | My idea is to have a peice of cardboard that a person picks up and brings to the counter then they install on computer | 19:52 |
| popey | you'd need what, 2 per store, thats not many | 19:52 |
| bobweaver | one store gets over 500 people a day | 19:52 |
| bobweaver | I am going to have to train there staff | 19:52 |
| bobweaver | but if there was like 3 things more that I need | 19:53 |
| bobweaver | er | 19:53 |
| bobweaver | one the piece of cardboard that I am talking about | 19:53 |
| bobweaver | two ) where to get support via advantage and also community | 19:53 |
| popey | you can buy advantage from the online store | 19:54 |
| bobweaver | 3) displays cardboard for the pre-installed computers | 19:54 |
| bobweaver | yup ^^ | 19:54 |
| popey | but we dont have the other stuff | 19:54 |
| bobweaver | but the docs I have here that I print out http://ubuntustreetteam.tk/UA.pdf | 19:55 |
| popey | Be good to put the call out to someone like Martin Owens and see if he could design something for you, he loves this stuff | 19:55 |
| bobweaver | how to kick some one to say we need to make this | 19:55 |
| bobweaver | thanks for the name | 19:55 |
| popey | doctormo on irc | 19:55 |
| bobweaver | thanks popey you are awesome ! | 19:57 |
| popey | np | 20:03 |
| popey | anytime | 20:03 |
