| <poningru> is there a main loco team on lp? | |
| <elkbuntu> poningru, sort of... | |
| <poningru> ok I need to assign this spec to them whats the name? | |
| <elkbuntu> loco-enthusiasts or something like that | |
| <poningru> ah ok | |
| <elkbuntu> its sort of a joke team | |
| <elkbuntu> that could sort of be useful | |
| <poningru> oh well I used it | |
| <poningru> should I just assign it to jono then? | |
| <elkbuntu> no prob | |
| <elkbuntu> no | |
| <poningru> hmm ok thanks | |
| <elkbuntu> ask him if he wants to be assigned to it, but its not always polite to assign things to people without their permission | |
| * poningru wonders who to put for approver | |
| <poningru> oh.. ic | |
| <elkbuntu> you dont have to do everything at once | |
| <poningru> hmm ok | |
| <poningru> thanks :) | |
| * poningru will be there at the loco team meeting | |
| <poningru> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/loco-press-releases | |
| <dthacker> hello | |
| <amachu> is there an edubuntu ppt available for download | |
| <JanC> amachu: ppt? :P | |
| <amachu> JanC, presentation on edubuntu | |
| <JanC> I hope you mean PDF slides or OOo Impress instead of .ppt ? ;-) | |
| <JanC> but I guess you better check the Edubuntu site, or ask that in #edubuntu or on their mailing list | |
| <amachu> JanC, whichever | |
| <amachu> JanC, we need make some presentation | |
| <amachu> JanC, before school secretary on Edubuntu | |
| <amachu> JanC, convincing them will make Edubuntu enter into 19 schools | |
| <JanC> nice | |
| <JanC> but like I said, Edubuntu people are (or should be) the ones most likely to being able to answer your question | |
| <JanC> BTW: maybe making your own presentation is useful too | |
| <amachu> JanC, yep am in #edubuntu also | |
| <JanC> so that you can make sure that everything that's important for the school secretary is in there | |
| <amachu> JanC, but Rich? | |
| <amachu> JanC, any idea | |
| <looksaus> whom would I ask for pro computer expo booth gear? | |
| <looksaus> (at Canonical, I mean) | |
| <looksaus> Richard maybe? or Jane? | |
| <mdke_> looksaus: there is a conference pack available for locoteams. It's documented on the wiki, I think | |
| <looksaus> mdke_, thx, will search for it | |
| <mdke_> looksaus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences | |
| <Joe_CoT> mdke_ : will those Ubuntu classes next week get archived online? unfortunately 14-17 utc is in the middle of all my classes :-/ | |
| <mdke_> Joe_CoT: I don't know, but for my session I will publish notes, and try and ensure that the documentation team pages contain all the information already | |
| <mdke_> all team pages should provide all the information necessary for newcomers to get involved, at least that's the theory | |
| <Joe_CoT> eh, okay. i guess i'll have my desktop idle and log for that week | |
| <Joe_CoT> Well, i'm mostly interested in the packaging and motu stuff. I've read wiki pages on both, but ya know, whatever helps | |
| * mdke_ nods. | |
| <mdke_> I'll encourage any other participants to ensure the wiki is complete with the information | |
| <Joe_CoT> kk | |
| <JanC> looksaus: I have a bookmark somewhere about the "professional booth gear" | |
| <JanC> ah, mdke_ already gave it :) | |
| <looksaus> JanC, pro boot gear is difficult to get hold of, it seems | |
| <looksaus> stickers and t-shirts are nice, but something like | |
| <JanC> I was going to try to get it for FOSDEM too | |
| <mdke_> it's not a fantastic kit, but it's better than nothing | |
| <mdke_> cds are the key, I guess | |
| <JanC> so maybe we can use the same stuff for both events :) | |
| <mdke_> there is plenty of DIY stuff around too. jenda does posters and such | |
| <JanC> yes, we have our own flyers & banners already :) | |
| <jenda> who? | |
| <jenda> where? | |
| * jenda sniffs DIY | |
| <mdke_> looksaus was asking about conference material | |
| <jenda> That's my objective #1, but it's rather expensive, and nearly impossible to ship. | |
| <JanC> I think he might be looking for something that we can lay next to Microsoft promo stuff ;) | |
| <looksaus> no, not at all | |
| <looksaus> JanC, but these big banners Toni printed are really showing their age | |
| <jenda> I was thinking we could design a DIY stand that people would have to construct themselves outta wood - not difficult at all - and have only banners printed and shipped. | |
| <JanC> looksaus: I don't mean like we need the same budget :) | |
| <looksaus> and buying a textile or plastic banner instead of this paper stuff | |
| <jenda> hmm | |
| <JanC> looksaus: have you looked at prices for such a banner? | |
| <jenda> Textile can stand wear, and is easy to ship... | |
| <looksaus> exactly | |
| <JanC> I mean, I haven't looked :) | |
| <looksaus> which is why I have been suggesting this in Mountain View | |
| <looksaus> but probably not clearly enough, with all the other things going on | |
| <mdke_> someone needs to put the money up, and deal with the producers I guess, that's all | |
| <looksaus> it _would_ be nice if Canonical could do that... | |
| * JanC pictures jenda designing a DIY origami stand? :) | |
| <mdke_> looksaus: Canonical throws enough money around already :D | |
| <looksaus> mdke_, I think this might really be something relatively cheap in comparison to what it would yield | |
| <mdke_> if you're really lucky, they might even become profitable in a few years, and *then* you can ask em to arrange this | |
| * poningru wonders if jono is around | |
| <looksaus> mdke_, I am throwing enough money around already :D | |
| <mdke_> looksaus: then you'll have to draw the line | |
| <jenda> mdke_: I can do that. | |
| <looksaus> since May until now, 800 € | |
| <looksaus> (for Ubuntu only) | |
| <mdke_> jenda: do what? | |
| <jenda> "put the money up, and deal with the producers" | |
| <jenda> It's what I do, currently :) | |
| <mdke_> right. Someone will step up, if the idea's right. Maybe sponsors can cover the cost | |
| * jenda has nearly completed the poster project, and my t-shirts might be done by someone else in the end. | |
| <mdke_> does simira still do t-shirts? Maybe you can team up | |
| <jenda> stands might be the next thing in line, but I'd have to think about it... | |
| <jenda> simira? dunno. | |
| <mdke_> she used to do them within Europe | |
| <jenda> I'm working on t-shirts myself from Madpilots design. | |
| <mdke_> yeah I saw, sounds cool | |
| <mdke_> where is the design? | |
| <jenda> I see... I'll look around for them. | |
| <mdke_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/t-shirt | |
| <jenda> mdke_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=303557 | |
| <JanC> simira did t-shirts in Europe because the cafepress-ones are expensive & ugly ;) | |
| <jenda> yep | |
| <jenda> That's what made me start with stickers and posters - now looking what next :) | |
| <mdke_> jenda: link is broken | |
| <mdke_> oh, i see the design on the thread | |
| <jenda> yep | |
| <mdke_> nice | |
| * mdke_ bbl | |
| * jenda too | |
| <jenda> JanC, looksaus, could you guys please keep me up-to date on your work on this subject? :) | |
| <jenda> pleaaase ツ | |
| <looksaus> jenda, I made it a priority to share on the locoteams list and on the wiki | |
| <looksaus> as much as possible | |
| <jenda> oh, ok | |
| <jenda> cool. | |
| <jenda> list, and list often, then :) | |
| <jenda> I'll be on the lookout. | |
| <JanC> I was thinking about maybe selling t-shirts at FOSDEM too | |
| <looksaus> JanC, guy will get us a booth near the MS one :) | |
| <JanC> looksaus: he knows the fair people or soemthing? :) | |
| <looksaus> the conference organisers seem to be desperate to pull in enough booth holders | |
| <looksaus> so he is bargaining | |
| <looksaus> and waiting until the last moment | |
| <looksaus> trying to lower the price | |
| <looksaus> and to get the best spot | |
| <looksaus> :) | |
| <JanC> btw, for those not from Belgium, we want to have a booth at *THE* IT fair for schools :) | |
| <JanC> sponsored by Microsoft and all that :) | |
| <JanC> and we have a sponsor who wants to pay for the booth space | |
| <looksaus> a few years ago, one of the most high profile free software people in the country was thrown off the schedule | |
| <looksaus> because he wanted to present samba | |
| <JanC> well, he's the highest profile guy when you talk about FLOSS+education, I guess :) | |
| <JanC> at least inside the FLOSS community | |
| <jenda> mdke_: at what time does the cronjob run? | |
| <jenda> It's really unreliable, might be bzr's fault. | |
| <jenda> Is there a way to download only what's changed each time? (bzr update) | |
| <mdke_> jenda: I'm not sure. you can edit the cronjob yourself though | |
| <jenda> I'm working on it :) | |
| <poningru> jono: ping | |
| <jono> howdy poningru | |
| <poningru> need couple of answers | |
| <jono> sure | |

| <poningru> from canonical | |
| <poningru> need her email can you have her contact the marketing peoples? | |
| <poningru> we wanted to talk to her regarding that spec | |
| <jono> sure, I am actually working on some documents to help canonical and community teams work better together | |
| <jono> I will make sure she gets in touch with the marketing list :) | |
| <poningru> sweet thanks | |
| <jono> np :) | |
| <poningru> jono: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/loco-press-releases | |

| <Burgwork> jono: I emailed christina last month | |
| <jono> ahhh | |
| <jono> I know she has been hella busy - but our meeting about community stuff was really productive | |
| <jono> she is awesome |
