[05:09] <cob-olp1> bobweaver: nice idea
[05:12] <cob-olp1> bobweaver: I'm trying to do something similar, but on pandaboard which we have in a company that I work for
[17:32] <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
[17:35] <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 .
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <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
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <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
[19:49] <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
[19:50] <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
[19:51] <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
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <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
[19:54] <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
[19:55] <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
[19:57] <bobweaver> thanks popey  you are awesome !
[20:03] <popey> np
[20:03] <popey> anytime
