I've got the promise of a full report by tow Window IT specialists who have been examining my sister's installation of 10.04.

I have high hopes there as there is a LOT in it for them. Target folk like that please. Jan 01 22:35:23 i havce question Jan 01 22:35:28 have Jan 01 22:35:41 Uhu? Jan 01 22:35:48 yep, someone who leads sponsorship should know which business to get the resources and where to spread our word Jan 01 22:36:48 I'll aid and abet - but not lead. I have years and years in business to draw experience from. Use me a Jan 01 22:36:59 current leaders know we had some nice talks, but jasono and I are in no position to discuss this with them Jan 01 22:37:18 s a kind of consultant.

Jan 01 22:40:07 yes we need sponsors, and someone who knows how to talk with these people Jan 01 22:40:21 I can talk to them Jan 01 22:40:30 Billynkid, UndiFineD, barrydrake: we don't even know what we want to say and to whom... much less which mediums we'd like to use so i don't think we'd make progress right now with seeking sponsorships Jan 01 22:40:55 i think we might be getting ahead of ourselves a little Jan 01 22:41:10 but it's a good thing to keep in mind i think for the future Jan 01 22:41:10 matt griffin so lets define who and what? Jan 01 22:41:26 We need to present them with a plan of action, sure, but more than that, we need to say to them the Jan 01 22:41:33 Or have somewhere we can define who and what if we can't do it now Jan 01 22:41:40 Billynkid: right. it's on the agenda Jan 01 22:41:43 like the scripts aread? Jan 01 22:41:51 excuse my English is bad. I think they must first organize the work done and then seek support from other Jan 01 22:42:05 that if they come on board, they can be a Canonical Partner and get loads of FREE publicity!!! Jan 01 22:42:06 not right now, for that we need to work out stuff like the do's and don'ts, guidelines, select good taglines and scripts we can do Jan 01 22:42:36 OK Jan 01 22:42:57 is limiting to use a tagline or more.? Jan 01 22:43:15 Emerling: we may need more Jan 01 22:43:41 Give a scenario: audio video TV movies etc Jan 01 22:43:49 undefined, ok but need more time, or more jobs, or more taglines Jan 01 22:44:00 Yes Jan 01 22:44:03 what if we get a deal that allows us to do a series, and what about local poromotion, handouts , flyers Jan 01 22:44:19 Nered to go thought them all Jan 01 22:44:50 i think we're getting a little sidetracked (partly my fault :) ... want to steer back to the agenda?

Jan 01 23:24:31 fresh new year for creativity Jan 01 23:24:56 Flyers........ To do with what?

Jan 01 23:25:52 No Jan 01 23:25:58 yes Jan 01 23:26:19 So you think people will see the site and go on it? Jan 01 23:26:22 I am willing to go door-to-door, as I said during UDS-N Jan 01 23:26:39 mattgriffin, the purpose of the communication should be related with our selected taglines Jan 01 23:26:45 I was not, here, arrived late. Jan 01 23:27:24 jasono, UndiFineD: i'll start a creative brief and the team can collaborate on the purpose and how they're going to be used so the design team can have a good starting point Jan 01 23:27:33 moiso: ^ Jan 01 23:27:41 Sounds good Jan 01 23:27:45 yep Jan 01 23:27:55 it is all connected Jan 01 23:28:02 :) Jan 01 23:28:20 We might need several as it will depend on the media i.e. newprint, mag, A5 handout?

I' me not sure about that. Jan 01 23:34:43 My plan is to engage the local business community. ie. computer companies, Internet cafes Jan 01 23:35:50 Do we want to discuss the taglines? Any favs Jan 01 23:35:58 ok but plz go back to taglines Jan 01 23:36:30 ok, so we could make a contest for it, bringing in more ideas Jan 01 23:36:51 and select a few of the best Jan 01 23:37:09 How many is enough? Jan 01 23:37:14 50 100?

Yeah Jan 01 23:39:31 in fact if the flyer ended up in the fcs would be cool too Jan 01 23:39:48 so we make a presskit which people can use to promote ubuntu Jan 01 23:40:41 Sorry off agenda.

Typos. Jan 01 23:51:05 most likely we need to use blue / or greenscreen anyway Jan 01 23:51:37 So what is the process to get the script to final production Jan 01 23:51:40 who pays Jan 01 23:51:53 Donation money will be used.......... Jan 01 23:51:57 who pays depends on who sponsors Jan 01 23:52:06 Do we have any connections with filmmakers Jan 01 23:52:16 we have some Jan 01 23:52:26 but not much Jan 01 23:52:52 We have a talented Linux video editor though. Jan 01 23:53:05 wish stephen king would sponsor his render farm :P Jan 01 23:53:11 jkeyes0< dreamed about that Jan 01 23:53:20 But are we aiming for that level of quality i.e. hiring someone who has experience filming adverts etc. Jan 01 23:53:22 UndiFineD THat would be impossible! Jan 01 23:53:32 hey my dream Jan 01 23:53:49 Or more community based stuff Jan 01 23:53:59 i.e. best effort with a DV cam Jan 01 23:54:06 an HD DV Cam ;-) Jan 01 23:54:12 3d Jan 01 23:54:14 :D Jan 01 23:54:15 :P Jan 01 23:54:24 hahaha,.., jajaja Jan 01 23:54:36 **Cough**Blender Jan 01 23:54:40 I am always a little warry of 3D it has to be very very good Jan 01 23:54:42 for now I just want to see some results for what we can do Jan 01 23:55:09 blue lent and re film red len Jan 01 23:55:21 ahhh Jan 01 23:55:24 distorcion and ready Jan 01 23:55:31 sorry I thought you meant CGI 3D Jan 01 23:56:14 It does sound though that we are ultimately aiming for TV/Film Jan 01 23:56:16 so I would say go out have sime fun and let the creativity flow Jan 01 23:56:26 Or do we need to think about radio/audio too Jan 01 23:56:48 Undifined: on ideas or the whole thing? Jan 01 23:56:54 JamesMR did some pretty professional voice-overs Jan 01 23:57:08 the whole thing, anything you do is good Jan 01 23:57:31 as it shows what can be done / thought of Jan 01 23:57:35 Did you guys see the linux foundation advert comps Jan 01 23:58:22 I did not }}} == any other business == {{{ Jan 01 23:58:46 any other business ?

Jan 02 00:10:24 I understand mattgriffin, I had a bit of the same issue, as I spend a lot of time on Speech Control these past few weeks Jan 02 00:10:36 Should to research focus on a default install Jan 02 00:10:41 to keep the scope smaller Jan 02 00:12:04 Is the meetinv over Jan 02 00:12:14 well research on windows users would be nice, but I have my doubts that no-one but doubting current windows users and linux advocates would fill its surveys Jan 02 00:13:48 UndiFineD Dante told me there's some of that already. Canonical marketing Jan 02 00:13:54 so survey should at least log users browser agent too Jan 02 00:14:15 hakimsheriff Long time, your welcome to leave if you like. Jan 02 00:14:35 UndiFineD: Windows users are probably in-scope for who we want to target. review the "Targeting the communication" section at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAdverts/Design#Brand and focus on the consumer problems that Ubuntu can solve. we had some great discussion about this type of stuff a few meetings ago. Jan 02 00:14:37 mattgriffin Nice template structure. Jan 02 00:14:55 jasono: thanks Jan 02 00:15:43 alright Jan 02 00:16:01 UndiFineD: re-read your message... you have a good pointl Jan 02 00:16:34 * djhakim is now known as hakimsheriff Jan 02 00:16:54 one strong point is virusses Jan 02 00:17:01 it is the area to score Jan 02 00:17:04 Repetition Jan 02 00:17:08 definitely Jan 02 00:17:22 ok. gotta go soon :) Jan 02 00:17:25 This has been talked about for too long. Jan 02 00:17:31 okey Jan 02 00:17:35 that is how I convinced most people to at least try it Jan 02 00:17:45 me too Jan 02 00:18:00 but no one accually tried it Jan 02 00:18:00 interesting. Jan 02 00:18:10 All of this was already mentioned though. Jan 02 00:18:13 yes Jan 02 00:18:44 perhaps we should have a survey that focused on some of the problem areas to discover what has a higher priority over others ... or maybe this research already exists Jan 02 00:19:12 not sure if it exists but it is a good idea Jan 02 00:19:44 hakimsheriff: for new people to absolutly try it is to install it for them and log them into it Jan 02 00:19:44 something that a linux, windows, or a mac user would feel comfortable/competent filling out Jan 02 00:19:48 mattgriffin Explain please. Jan 02 00:19:49 and not log out Jan 02 00:19:56 Don't get what you mean.

Jan 02 00:20:54 and microblogins Jan 02 00:21:01 facebook twitter identica Jan 02 00:21:03 keeps cradhing, slow Jan 02 00:21:09 On Ubuntu Jan 02 00:21:18 locos team Jan 02 00:21:23 jasono: then give that list to 1000 people and ask each of them to rank the items in priority of highest to lowest importance to them Jan 02 00:21:35 Awesome. Jan 02 00:21:52 Do you want to work on it together? Jan 02 00:22:01 a 1000 ?

Jan 02 00:29:50 We should also atleast try to get donations on our site ubuntuadverts.org Jan 02 00:29:56 Most of these ideas require money. Jan 02 00:31:21 Indeed but it might be easier once we have a specific idea+budget for idea Jan 02 00:31:31 then we can have a fundraiser for it Jan 02 00:31:57 Yeah. Have you seen the form though?
