<boredandblogging> lets get started either way
<JonReagan> ok
<boredandblogging> I still haven't gotten CDs which is annoying me
<boredandblogging> jsvh: have you gotten CDs yet?
<boredandblogging> I think nomasteryoda ordered CDs from shipit and has already gotten them
<JonReagan> I haven't ordered any yet... should I go ahead and try to get some?
<boredandblogging> JonReagan: yeah, tell them its for the Georgia US Team LoCo
<jsvh> I got my CDs the other day
<JonReagan> k
<JonReagan> I will order them this week... :)
<boredandblogging> i didn't check the mail yesterday, hopefully I got mine
<boredandblogging> jsvh: can you possibly send yours to JonReagan
<JonReagan> how many did he get?
<jsvh> I got like 30
<jsvh> Yea I can send you some Jon
<JonReagan> cool
<boredandblogging> excellent
<jsvh> I am also going to give some to Free IT Athens so we can distribute them through there
<boredandblogging> thats cool
<JonReagan> that sounds like a good idea!
<boredandblogging> once I get mine, I'll send some to you JonReagan and some to Bakey
<jsvh> just email me and let me know where you want them sent to
<JonReagan> ok
<boredandblogging> JonReagan: did you up instructions on how to build your box?
<JonReagan> I think so... hold on... I will check the wiki
<JonReagan> nope... I will go ahead and load 'em up
<boredandblogging> ok...
<boredandblogging> i hope Bakey comes on and tells us how far he got with his boxes
<boredandblogging> Ok, locations...
<boredandblogging> I think compiledkernel had some locations he thought might be ok with having the boxes
<boredandblogging> i can email him and get a list from him
<boredandblogging> do we have any other ideas where we want to put them?
<JonReagan> it's up!
<jsvh> Places with tech-savy people will probably be the best way to spread it
<boredandblogging> are we thinking schools and like coffeehouses?
<boredandblogging> or linux friendly computer stores?
<JonReagan> those sound like good places to start
<jsvh> yea
<jsvh> Once I get back I will try to find some places around athens to put some boxes, I already have a few ideas
<JonReagan> CDStand.tar.gz is the name of the file for the cd stands
<JonReagan> same here
<boredandblogging> i'm wondering if we should take pictures of them once we put them out...
<boredandblogging> kinda for the LoCo approval application?
<JonReagan> I will have to look around and see if I can't get some places to agree to place the boxes in their stores
<JonReagan> that sounds good
<boredandblogging> JonReagan: you have some ideas of where you might want to put them?
<JonReagan> maybe... they may be a longshot
<JonReagan> I will see what I can do - emails, phone calls, ect.
<boredandblogging> hey joshua
<jchase> Hi there
<JonReagan> hey
<jsvh> hello
<jchase> sorry I'm a bit late
<boredandblogging> JonReagan: so the utah loco did the stands?
<boredandblogging> jchase: no problem
<JonReagan> I guess so... I found it on the DIY page
<boredandblogging> very cool
<JonReagan> yeah... it looks like it will work out ok
<boredandblogging> JonReagan: let us know what you need to help get these things out
<JonReagan> k...
<boredandblogging> or any problems you run into...it would just be nice if we can roll it out to a couple of places
<boredandblogging> ok next...
<JonReagan> maybe should we set up a place on the forums for places where we want to put them?
<JonReagan> sry... next
<boredandblogging> JonReagan: thats a good idea, maybe also the mailing list?
<JonReagan> sure!
<boredandblogging> maybe see if anyone would be interested in putting one in their office...not sure how professional that would be, but who knows
<boredandblogging> like in the breakroom or something
<heathen> i just saw spiderman
<JonReagan> cool
<JonReagan> how was it?
<boredandblogging> heathen: tell us in a couple of minutes, we are almost done
<jchase> I work at HP, I think I can probably get a box somewhere where there is a lot of traffic
<boredandblogging> jchase: that would be great
<JonReagan> that would be good
<boredandblogging> jchase: you can order some CDs from shipit
<jchase> sounds good
<boredandblogging> jchase: tell them its for the Georgia US Team
<boredandblogging> they should give a few
<boredandblogging> don't know how many, but hopefully more than a couple
<jchase> I can also burn some, and print out some cd covers on my photosmart printer
<JonReagan> that would be good
<jchase> they print pretty nice
<boredandblogging> dude
<boredandblogging> that would be great
<boredandblogging> that was our next topic
<boredandblogging> we need to print some CD labels
<JonReagan> labels?
<JonReagan> on the cd... or in the cd case?
<boredandblogging> yeah, I might have gotten confused there
<boredandblogging> Bakey was supposed to ask if he could use his work one
<boredandblogging> I'll shoot him an email this week and see how thats going
<JonReagan> k
<boredandblogging> but overall, we should some stuff to at least get started with the boxes
<jchase> ok, so what are the "boxes" all about
<jchase> ?
<jchase> testing, dev, hosting aplications, ?
<JonReagan> boxes to put CDs in
<jchase> oh, duh,
<jchase> I was thinking computers
<jchase> :)
<boredandblogging> yeah, maybe we should have called it something different
<jchase> you literally mean, 'boxes"
<JonReagan> lol... yeah... that could be confusing
<jchase> haha, nah, what else are you supose to call them?
<boredandblogging> this is part of the LoCo approval process, evangelizing Ubuntu, getting the word out
<heathen> sorry boredandblogging
<heathen> i forgot about meeting
<boredandblogging> heathen: np
<boredandblogging> ok, so I think we have enough to get moving on the Ubuntu boxes, right?
<JonReagan> right
<boredandblogging> ok, logos
<boredandblogging> ick, only 11 votes so far
<boredandblogging> might need to send out another email
<JonReagan> yup...
<jchase> I put my vote in
<boredandblogging> looks like #3 is the popular one so far
<boredandblogging> ok, last thing...
<boredandblogging> posters and stickers, take a look at some of the stuff here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/DIYWebsite/Get/
<JonReagan> k
<boredandblogging> I would like to buy some stickers and posters
<boredandblogging> that we can pass out
<boredandblogging> if you think you could use some to pass out to people or know of places where you want ot put up posters, tell me...
<boredandblogging> I'm buying some for nomasteryoda already
<boredandblogging> and no, I will not buy any of the clothing
<jchase> the clothing so far has been sub-par
<jchase> I haven't seen any that I like, let alone buy and wear
<boredandblogging> and expensive for its quality
<JonReagan> right
<jchase> I think my favorite t-shirt that I have is "Software is like sex, it's always better when it's free" Use Open Source
<jsvh> there is all this: http://www.cafepress.com/ubuntushop/
<boredandblogging> i've seen some on cafepress, but I know the guys in ubuntu will put the money back in ubuntu
<jchase> yeah, but even the cafepress ones are weak
<heathen> biggest problem with cafe press is it's serious lack of quality
<jchase> I would love to get my hands on some posters though
<boredandblogging> jchase: tell me what sizes and how many
<jchase> at a buck fifty each, its not a abd way to get the word out
<boredandblogging> exactly
<jchase> do you guys have stickers on your cars or anything?
<JonReagan> not yet
<JonReagan> hopefully I will soon.
<boredandblogging> i'll order some of those too
<jsvh> I have the "powered by Ubuntu" one on my laptop
<jchase> I used to be in car clubs, and when we were parked someplace where there were a lot of cars, we would leave business cards under our windshiel wipers, maybe we could like put a couple cd's under our windshield wipers when we park at places
<jchase> hoping people will take them
<JonReagan> under ours....
<heathen> jchase: do you have any idea how many people hate that?
<heathen> for every 1 you get you piss off 100 more
<jchase> no, I mean leave them under MY windshield wipers
<jchase> not other peoples cars
<jchase> that would be a waste
<heathen> ah
<jchase> liek put three under it
<JonReagan> not to mention... how many people will want to break into your car
<jchase> no no no, would never do that
<heathen> ooo
<heathen> they can steal my car
<jchase> I'm anal about my car, I would knock someone out doing tha to me
<JonReagan> lol
<heathen> (id get more out of insurance that way)
<jchase> hahah
<JonReagan> :D
<boredandblogging> ok, so let me put in the order for posters and stickers and we can talk about distributing them next week.
<heathen> i hate it when people touch my car/bike
<heathen> sorry... touchy subject for me
<JonReagan> ah... :P
<jchase> have there been any walpapers made for GA-US team?
<JonReagan> I dont think so
