[18:11:51] <yharrow> welcome to the meeting RawSewage
[18:11:54] <salvatore_c> now
[18:12:06] <salvatore_c> id like to talk about community outreach
[18:12:34] <GNu_Joe> ok
[18:12:38] <salvatore_c> i think once we have r first RL meetup afterwords we should start to think about going into the community and talking up ubuntu
[18:12:43] <salvatore_c> what dose everyonme thin k/
[18:13:05] <atoponce> salvatore_c: what are your thoughts on reaching out to the community?
[18:13:10] <yharrow> I think that it is important that we reach out to the community
[18:13:12] <ausimage> salvatore_c: I think RL are cool are we going to make them easy to get to??
[18:13:13] <GNu_Joe> err which community?
[18:13:19] <yharrow> however we need to have a game plan
[18:13:21] <salvatore_c> installfests, demonstrational gatherings, passing out CDs in High Trafic public places - some examples would be "train stations" and "coffee shops"
[18:13:31] <knight> YEah
[18:13:36] <salvatore_c> all over the city and upstate
[18:13:36] <knight> trains stations
[18:13:44] <salvatore_c> yes
[18:13:53] <salvatore_c> go into the train stations and give out cdss
[18:13:57] <salvatore_c> cds
[18:13:57] <GNu_Joe> don't think that's managable
[18:14:01] <iloadmin> I agree with salvatore_c and installfest is optimum
[18:14:02] <salvatore_c> why not
[18:14:11] <salvatore_c> no
[18:14:14] <ausimage> cool salvatore_c if you come my way I may be able to help with a discounted hotel
[18:14:21] <salvatore_c> cool
[18:14:24] <GNu_Joe> got to be where people would be open to Linux
[18:14:34] * ausimage has to talk with the wife about that
[18:14:37] <salvatore_c> eventualy we will have to think about going upstate to recrute
[18:14:45] <knight> in undeserved communities
[18:14:49] <salvatore_c> yes gfnu your right
[18:14:52] <salvatore_c> gnu
[18:14:55] <salvatore_c> sorry
[18:15:05] <ausimage> salvatore we we have albany covered thanks to isacklow_afk
[18:15:08] <GNu_Joe> Well we sould pull in all the LUG's help them communicate
[18:15:18] <salvatore_c> so where r some places u guys would like to go and do outreach ?
[18:15:35] <salvatore_c> your rightgnu
[18:15:37] <salvatore_c> gnu
[18:15:40] <iloadmin> Does location need to be in the Bronx?
[18:15:44] <salvatore_c> no
[18:15:50] <salvatore_c> we are talking all of nyc
[18:15:52] <yharrow> GNu_Joe, I think that it is possible to distribute linux everywhere and the only time we should be worried about what people think is if there is a chance that we aer doing something against the law or creating a bad name for ubuntu
[18:15:54] <yharrow> however
[18:15:55] <salvatore_c> and upstate
[18:15:59] <salvatore_c> all of ny state
[18:16:00] <knight> OK
[18:16:10] <knight> where do we start
[18:16:11] <salvatore_c> we want maximum exposure
[18:16:12] <yharrow> i agree that we should concentrate our efforts around areas who are most open
[18:16:18] <salvatore_c> yes
[18:16:21] <salvatore_c> makes sence
[18:16:26] <knight> and available to most of use
[18:16:29] <knight> us*
[18:16:31] <ausimage> colleges
[18:16:33] <salvatore_c> yup
[18:16:44] <GNu_Joe> then we will have the intel we need a good example is that last friday some of us went on the LUG IRC channels and found out about ICON
[18:16:47] <yharrow> I think we should have divisions for outreach
[18:16:48] <salvatore_c> yes nyu and the others would be good places to go
[18:17:00] <iloadmin> What is the time frame for this to happen?
[18:17:01] <yharrow> one group for schools
[18:17:03] <atoponce> the #1 thing you can do, for outreach though, is hitting the local lug mailing lists
[18:17:05] <salvatore_c> once we have an RL meetup we will divise the team
[18:17:19] <iloadmin> Time frame?
[18:17:22] <salvatore_c> sounds good
[18:17:27] <yharrow> iloadmin, we wold like to have this going asap
[18:17:36] <yharrow> iloadmin hopefully within a few weeks
[18:17:39] <salvatore_c> so we can work on getting the teams together to handle sertan areas
[18:17:53] <GNu_Joe> http://www.iconsf.org/ is an even where we may want a table along with LUGSB
[18:17:54] <salvatore_c> also about the forums
[18:18:03] <knight> ok we need the shirts to identify ourselves
[18:18:03] <yharrow> iloadmin, the CDs were already ordered
[18:18:11] <iloadmin> okay
[18:18:13] <salvatore_c> for now me and yharrow will be the mods there
[18:18:31] <RawSewage> !link
[18:18:31] <salvatore_c> once things become more active we will need full time mods and then we wqill recrute
[18:18:49] <salvatore_c> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?s=a0874fa4bc27b11685d49f5bf49cba2d&f=212
[18:18:52] <iloadmin> Were we not talking about a colabo with google in nyc last week?
[18:19:08] <salvatore_c> huh?
[18:19:08] <GNu_Joe> all I'm saying is to pick the places wisely like ICON
[18:19:13] <salvatore_c> yes
[18:19:16] <salvatore_c> gnu your right
[18:19:20] <salvatore_c> pick wise
[18:19:39] <yharrow> iloadmin, we were going to attend a meeting with nylug which takes places at google

[18:22:24] <iloadmin> Thanks
[18:22:25] <salvatore_c> casual meetup 30-45 minutes before deluge
[18:22:28] <yharrow> go ahead GNU
[18:22:33] <knight> Cool
[18:22:37] <GNu_Joe> got to go at 6:30
[18:22:47] <GNu_Joe> how big can the projects be?
[18:22:57] <GNu_Joe> I have an idea for a BIG project
[18:23:02] <salvatore_c> such as ?
[18:23:04] <yharrow> GNu_Joe ok make sure to check for new meetings when you get a chance
[18:23:23] <yharrow> GNu_Joe, there are no limits as far as I can tell.
[18:23:46] <GNu_Joe> Well there are lot's of places in upstate where people can't get to a LUG meeting
[18:24:21] <GNu_Joe> so I was thinging if we could setup a Asteris VoIP server we could have vurtual meetings for people
[18:24:39] <knight> Using UBUNTU?
[18:24:42] <knight> lol
[18:24:54] <ausimage> GNu_Joe: maybe network several together to allow for local calling??
[18:24:55] <GNu_Joe> IRC is nice but would be better by voice
[18:25:05] <salvatore_c> gnu is right
[18:25:12] <GNu_Joe> anyway not sure if that's too big
[18:25:13] <salvatore_c> maybe we should test his thoughts
[18:25:17] <yharrow> GNu_Joe, I think that this is a good idea and is certainly possible to complete. what need to do is prioritize it and create a plan of action
[18:25:27] <salvatore_c> and set up an voice meeting at some point soon
[18:25:32] <GNu_Joe> need server and bandwith
[18:25:37] <salvatore_c> yup
[18:26:07] * ausimage would love to learn about asterix
[18:26:08] <iloadmin> and card
[18:26:10] <GNu_Joe> setting up a server with "slides" as our "projector" is a snap with Open Office
[18:26:17] <iloadmin> cool
[18:26:28] <yharrow> wanna backtrack a little here. as far as cds go. is everyone here willing to commit to distribute at least 10?
[18:26:29] <GNu_Joe> but it's the voice interaction that counts in a meeting
[18:26:30] <salvatore_c> so now, another thing we need to talk about is documentation
[18:26:43] <salvatore_c> The creation of Documentation (HOWTO's) for the wiki
[18:26:43] <salvatore_c> -pages that tell people how to do things such as : become a member, create an account on launchpad, become active on the ubuntu NY forums, etc., etc.)
[18:26:43] <salvatore_c> -These pages should be created under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewYorkTeam/Documentation
[18:26:47] <iloadmin> Count me in
[18:26:48] * ausimage does not have many connections here
[18:26:52] <knight> I ordered my own
[18:27:04] <knight> and I distribute it on my computer center
[18:27:13] <yharrow> anyone willing to distribute at least 10 say aye
[18:27:17] <iloadmin> aye
[18:27:22] <yharrow> aye
[18:27:29] <salvatore_c> yae
[18:27:32] <knight> aye
[18:27:50] <yharrow> anyone else?
[18:27:58] <GNu_Joe> here'S an easy idea, put 10 or more in the local Libary
[18:27:58] <yharrow> GNu_Joe, you there?
[18:28:09] <yharrow> GNu_Joe, hmm
[18:28:13] <yharrow> that might work
[18:28:32] <GNu_Joe> Libary's and coffee shops are get my vote
[18:28:36] <salvatore_c> yes
[18:28:39] <salvatore_c> !
[18:28:43] <ausimage> should have more info with that though
[18:28:55] <salvatore_c> we can make documentation
[18:28:55] <yharrow> GNu_Joe, if you dont know anyone who you can distribute to then that works too
[18:29:01] <salvatore_c> top go along with the dics
[18:29:02] <yharrow> I think ideally we should do both
[18:29:16] <salvatore_c> ok
[18:29:23] <ausimage> I think there needs something to explain what this Ubuntu is if it is just going to sit in a place
[18:29:27] <GNu_Joe> we should have a plan to work with local schools
[18:29:31] <salvatore_c> so we should create pamphlets to go with the cdsa right ?
[18:29:44] <yharrow> atoponce, what do you think of just placing stuff in libraries and cafes?
[18:29:52] <ausimage> I would think so... that way they know what it is
[18:29:54] <GNu_Joe> aka how to approach them, what to say, what we can do for them, etc.
[18:30:02] <knight> yeah
[18:30:27] <atoponce> yharrow: get with the property management before hand, and make sure it's okay
[18:30:30] <salvatore_c> we could enable support for them as well
[18:30:36] <GNu_Joe> Lib + coffee shops ( aka anyplace with WiFi ) as a start
[18:30:36] <knight> cool
[18:30:46] <atoponce> yharrow: you don't want to put a bad image about ubuntu with the owners of the establishment
[18:30:48] <yharrow> atoponce thats a great point, thanks for bringing it up
[18:30:54] <GNu_Joe> I for one am not going to hand out CD's at a train station
[18:31:03] <salvatore_c> i am
[18:31:05] <salvatore_c> hahahaha
[18:31:08] <n8k99> that's scary
[18:31:15] <knight> lol
[18:31:19] <knight> I am doing it
[18:31:20] <salvatore_c> im a crasy new yorker
[18:31:25] <yharrow> ok guys we need to ask permission from the owners of the cafes and the libraries before we give out cds there
[18:31:27] <ausimage> I think we need to do it professionally
[18:31:28] <knight> make that two
[18:31:34] <salvatore_c> you go on the train and start handing people csds
[18:31:39] <yharrow> atoponce , what about just leaving it there
[18:31:42] <ausimage> or it will reflect on ubuntu
[18:31:45] <davebgimp> Heya fellow city-rats!
[18:31:47] <iloadmin> If you go to nycwireless you can get a list of all available hotspots
[18:31:49] <yharrow> welcome tot he meeting davebgimp
[18:32:06] <salvatore_c> were getting big now yharrow :)
[18:32:06] <GNu_Joe> got to go have fun! l8r
[18:32:07] <iloadmin> Here is a excellent op to hand out cds
[18:32:18] <yharrow> salvatore_c, yeah
[18:32:21] <RawSewage> dress up in African ceremonial robe
[18:32:22] <salvatore_c> :)
[18:32:27] <n8k99> seeya
[18:32:36] <yharrow> lol RawSewage
[18:32:41] <atoponce> yharrow: again, get with management. i don't know ny, but in slc, if you leave something on a counter, most managers don't like it, and get upset
[18:32:56] <atoponce> and end up throwing it away, which defeats the purpose of leaving it there to begin with
[18:33:08] <salvatore_c> but thats there choice
[18:33:15] <salvatore_c> and thats what ubuntu is about
[18:33:15] <yharrow> atoponce, yeah that makes sense,
[18:33:17] <salvatore_c> choice
[18:33:31] <salvatore_c> were not trying to foce people to use it just get them to try it :)
[18:33:33] <ausimage> but salvatore_c if you make bad impressions
[18:33:34] <n8k99> if you ask, then it'll stick around
[18:33:40] <atoponce> yharrow: so, i guess, just be careful, and use discretion
[18:33:44] <iloadmin> I say you walk up to folks chat with them and give it to them. You will be surprised how responsive folks are
[18:33:46] <salvatore_c> how is handing cds out a bad impression ?
[18:33:58] <yharrow> atoponce, i think we should make a list of guidelines for the team
[18:34:03] <knight> especially with the FREE part
[18:34:06] <salvatore_c> u just have to know where to do it thats all it is
[18:34:11] <ausimage> salvatore_c: I am saying just leaving it there without permission
[18:34:12] <iloadmin> absolumente
[18:34:12] <salvatore_c> thats the magick of it :)
[18:34:15] <atoponce> yharrow: what sort of guidelines?
[18:34:18] <yharrow> iloadmin, i think thats a good idea
[18:34:41] <salvatore_c> ausi no i wont leave cds without asking first thats true
[18:34:50] <salvatore_c> but im talking about handing them to people
[18:34:51] <iloadmin> Do you know how many working parents want to be hip with their kids and talk about linux
[18:34:57] <yharrow> atoponce, sort of like. if someone says no walk away. dont distribute in establishments without permision
[18:35:26] <atoponce> yharrow: yeah. just ask for management, and if it's okay if you leave them on the counter or whatnot
[18:35:38] <iloadmin> I distributed many in front of Jacob Javits Center here in NYC and I was out of cds in less than 20 minutes
[18:35:40] <atoponce> yharrow: consider taking the time to explain what it is too
[18:35:45] <salvatore_c> u walk into a coffee shop and say to the workers "is it ok if i leave these ubuntu discs here "
[18:35:57] <salvatore_c> and they will want to know what it is
[18:35:58] <atoponce> yharrow: they aren't going to be too friendly towards it if they don't know what it is
[18:36:02] <yharrow> atoponce, yeah. we should have also a process for introducing linux to ppl
[18:36:05] <salvatore_c> and then they will say ok sure no problems
[18:36:06] <ausimage> yharrow perhaps having our contact info with them??
[18:36:10] <atoponce> yharrow: exactly
[18:36:17] <knight> talk to people what it can do for them
[18:36:21] <knight> For Free
[18:36:22] <RawSewage> I think handing out Kubuntu discs would be better
[18:36:25] <salvatore_c> exaclty
[18:36:25] <yharrow> iloadmin, wow
[18:36:29] <yharrow> now thats progress
[18:36:44] <salvatore_c> we copuld hand out both raw
[18:37:03] <iloadmin> Yeah in 20 minutes but I also had the Mandela Video on my laptop as well for those who inquired
[18:37:22] <knight> say something like
[18:37:33] <atoponce> just curious: what are the cd totals that you guys will be handing out?
[18:37:39] <salvatore_c> 500
[18:37:44] <atoponce> nice
[18:37:48] <salvatore_c> and then we will order more
[18:37:49] <davebgimp> I work in magazine production. I've made my boss, a hardcore OSX addict interested in ubuntu and actually got him running his personal server with it. Our near-future plan is to set up a few PCs with Ubuntu and some guinea pigs to see the feasibility of replacing Windows for certain depts and out ability to support it
[18:38:02] <knight> it is able to broswe the internet, share files, print documents
[18:38:03] <salvatore_c> my goal is to hand out 1K of each direvative
[18:38:10] <yharrow> davebgimp, now that. is awesome :)
[18:38:15] <ausimage> wow davebgimp
[18:38:27] <salvatore_c> hello dave
[18:38:29] <salvatore_c> :)
[18:38:30] <atoponce> salvatore_c: you can do it quite easily, actually
[18:38:31] <salvatore_c> welcome
[18:38:38] * atoponce is approaching 2,000
[18:38:39] <salvatore_c> i know atop
[18:38:42] <atoponce> :)
[18:38:45] <salvatore_c> so
[18:38:48] <yharrow> atoponce, way to go!
[18:38:53] <salvatore_c> with that lets move on to launchpad
[18:38:57] <davebgimp> yeah, honestly.... as in love as I am with Ubuntu, i have doubts, but we have a lot of freedom to explore, so i figure, why not?
[18:39:06] <atoponce> computer labs in schools are by far the best way, imho
[18:39:19] <salvatore_c> if you dont already have an account on launchpad you should create one and become a memeber on our list
[18:39:35] <yharrow> so all in all i think that if 10 of us can distribute a total of 10 cds each in 1 or 2 weeks well have already given out 100 cds!
[18:39:42] <salvatore_c> go to https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ny and add themselves as members (so that we can keep better track of who is part of team)
[18:40:08] <iloadmin> Mr. Charlie Gonzalez (Knight) installed a ltsp using ubuntu for a church's technology center so it is doable
[18:40:26] <salvatore_c> so dose evereyone her havelaunchpad accounts
[18:40:36] <yharrow> I do
[18:40:40] <salvatore_c> i do
[18:40:45] <atoponce> yessir
[18:40:47] * ausimage of course :)
[18:40:54] * n8k99 me too
[18:41:03] <salvatore_c> so r u all linked to the ny team on LP?

[18:58:46] <yharrow> I dunno
[18:58:50] <samiam010203> i think so
[18:59:01] <yharrow> I suppose I could do it in conjuction with ausimage,
[18:59:02] <yharrow> however
[18:59:05] <ausimage> yeah I am as long as I know what still needs to be done
[18:59:16] <samiam010203> also, im going to try and write an howto : how to join the NYULT
[18:59:21] <yharrow> we need as many ppl as possible to help with things

[18:59:27] <samiam010203> yup

[19:00:02] <yharrow> better yet who is? and what are the goals you are workign
[19:00:03] * ausimage is thinking a of way to a have a make just the project summary available without logging in
[19:00:06] <samiam010203> i think all the main memebr s are working on things but ther eare still projects to go around
[19:00:18] <n8k99> after submitting the blog to ubuntu weblogs i have nothing until we port it over to a new site
[19:00:27] <yharrow> ausimage, wer aer going to make an autologin feature
[19:00:42] <n8k99> how are we going to do that?
[19:00:48] <yharrow> n8k99, do you think you can help with porting?
[19:00:55] <n8k99> can we make it openid?
[19:01:02] <ausimage> yharrow I am thinking of a read-only view of the projects
[19:01:11] <salvatore_c> openid would work well inthis situation
[19:01:15] <yharrow> n8k99, we need to manually copy from wiki to site
[19:01:26] <n8k99> porting project to the new project managemenet site
[19:01:51] <yharrow> n8k99, what do you mean by that?
[19:02:00] <yharrow> making it openid
[19:02:09] <ausimage> yharrow: I would allow just anyone to edit or change the site
[19:02:11] <n8k99> just trying to clarify what porting you are talking about
[19:02:31] <ausimage> * err not
[19:02:54] <yharrow> n8k99, i mean i would like to take all the projects on the projects wiki
[19:03:05] <yharrow> and move it to the projects site
[19:03:14] <n8k99> yes that's what i thought
[19:03:20] <salvatore_c> brb
[19:03:23] <n8k99> i can help with that
[19:03:33] <yharrow> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewYorkTeam/Projects

[19:05:12] <yharrow> salvatore_c, we need to make ubuntuny redirect to our new site
[19:05:13] * ausimage will maintain the wiki and site
[19:05:16] <salvatore_c> yes
[19:05:17] <n8k99> set up the logo poll
[19:05:22] <salvatore_c> i think i can handle that :)
[19:05:44] <yharrow> n8k99, the poll is not ready to be activated yet
[19:05:57] <yharrow> we need to have enough logo submissions
[19:05:59] <n8k99> ok
[19:06:06] <yharrow> but mebbe we can do it right away
[19:06:11] <ausimage> yharrow email the list and ask
[19:06:18] <yharrow> ok
[19:06:18] <salvatore_c> we should set up a sticky on the forums about the logo poll :)
[19:06:33] <salvatore_c> ill take care of it as soon as the opoll is upo
[19:06:34] <yharrow> you mean we can use the forums for polls
[19:06:37] <yharrow> I like that idea
[19:06:48] <salvatore_c> no we use the forums to tell poeple to go to the poll
[19:06:52] <salvatore_c> and vote
[19:06:59] <salvatore_c> a lot of poepl hang on thefurms
[19:07:16] <yharrow> ok ive never actually seen an LP poll btw
[19:07:19] <ausimage> the poll on lp is for team members only I think
[19:07:23] <yharrow> only a forum poll
[19:07:36] <salvatore_c> tyhen maybe we should do an forums poll as well
[19:07:41] <yharrow> ausimage, in that case mebbe it is better to do a forum poll
[19:07:51] <ausimage> which ever you want
[19:07:54] <RawSewage> maybe do a podcast at the meeting
