CD distribution! where my peeps at? 03:05:18 <Vorian> Library Partnerships - Where are your Ubuntu CDs? 03:05:33 * Vorian raises his hand 03:06:05 <theidiotthatisme> well we recieved an email from the director of Oplin earlier today on the mailing list :-) 03:06:17 <Seekker> and ? 03:06:20 <meatballhat> Stephen Hedges, yes ... 03:06:28 <Seekker> ohhhh, I read that 03:06:30 <Seekker> nm 03:06:31 <Seekker> sowwy 03:06:34 <theidiotthatisme> lol 03:06:48 <theidiotthatisme> We still need to finish the booklet content for the DVD cases 03:07:13 <Seekker> you have a link? 03:07:24 <theidiotthatisme> and design the booklet under Scribus, and then we're ready to send an email to the Oplin mailing list 03:07:25 <meatballhat> theidiotthatisme: :D .... lets convene via IRC to get back on track - tomorrow maybe? 03:07:28 <DwyII> I need to head off and finish my calc homework. Good meeting tonight, everyone! 03:07:36 <meatballhat> DwyII: nighty night! 03:07:37 * DwyII highfives all around. 03:07:37 <theidiotthatisme> meatballhat: IRC or Jabber is good 03:07:57 <meatballhat> theidiotthatisme: excellent 03:08:02 <Vorian> A good number -- maybe 20+ -- public libraries have "hacker 03:08:02 <Vorian> librarians" on staff these days. Not as many as the academic libraries 03:08:02 <Vorian> have, but still quite a few. My suggestion would be to announce the 03:08:02 <Vorian> availability of the free CDs on a couple of public librarian mailing 03:08:02 <Vorian> lists, something like, "Here's a free CD, load it on a spare machine, 03:08:03 <Vorian> see how you like it." (I can make that announcement when you're 03:08:05 <Vorian> ready.) And I'll bet you get about 20 takers. But that's a toe in the 03:08:07 <Vorian> door, and librarians really like to talk to each other at conferences 03:08:09 <Vorian> and stuff, so the word will eventually get around about how easy and 03:08:11 <Vorian> not-scary Ubuntu is. My suggestion anyway. (Sorry I won't be at the 03:08:13 <Vorian> meeting tonight.) 03:08:28 <theidiotthatisme> Seekker: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/CDdistribution/Workbench under booklet content 03:08:33 <Seekker> yes, Vorian, I did read that earlier, sowwy 03:08:36 <Seekker> thanks TheFabulotron 03:08:38 <Seekker> oops 03:08:40 <Seekker> theidiotthatisme: 03:08:53 <Vorian> i was posting it for everyone else? 03:08:55 <meatballhat> very awesome .....
