| [07:17] <n2diy> any copywriters here? My local school board plans to spend big bucks upgrading their Windows system? | |
| [07:20] <somerville32> n2diy, whats your question? | |
| [07:21] <n2diy> somerville32: are there any copywriters/marketers here? | |
| [07:21] <somerville32> We're all marketers :) | |
| [07:21] <n2diy> yes, but any pros on board? | |
| [07:22] <somerville32> I don't know of anyone that does it for a living | |
| [07:23] <n2diy> ok, so anybody else doing it as a hobby, besides me? | |
| [07:23] <somerville32> I think we all do it as a "hobby" | |
| [07:25] <n2diy> In anybody propagating linux doing it? My local school district wants to upgrade Winders at $600 bucks per machine. | |
| [07:27] <n2diy> And raise the taxes, of course. | |
| [07:29] <n2diy> ! pastebin | |
| [07:29] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | |
| [07:35] <desertc> n2diy: Sounds like a chance for someone to talk about open source in front of a school council meeting, in your area. | |
| [07:35] <desertc> Have you attempted to contact the Ubuntu Local Community Team in your area? | |
| [07:35] <n2diy> desertc: yes, that is why I thought I might get some pointers here? | |
| [07:36] <n2diy> desertc: we don't have a local community here, the local LUG is 30 miles away. | |
| [07:36] <desertc> Where do you live, please? | |
| [07:40] <n2diy> desertc: Carbon County, PA., USA | |
| [07:41] <desertc> Penn. has a wonderful Ubuntu Local Community Team, actually, in Philadelphia. Have you tried to contact them? | |
| [07:42] <n2diy> desertc: Phila. is a two hour drive for me, the closest LUG is the Lehigh Valley LUG, an one hour drive for me. | |
| [07:45] <desertc> The team is actually state-wide | |
| [07:46] <desertc> Drop them a note on their mailing list, and I am sure they will get back to you with a solution. | |
| [07:48] <desertc> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-us-pa | |
| [07:48] <desertc> The Ubuntu LoCos are different and function different than the LUGs in your area. | |
| [07:54] <n2diy> desertc: Roger that, I have email contact with the LVLUG, I'll look into the Phila. LUG | |
| [07:55] <desertc> ... and you would contact them in addition to the Ubuntu LoCo? (just want to be sure I was clear) | |
| [07:56] <desertc> :) | |
| [08:09] <desertc> ...looking at all the channels n2diy is in. You are already in the LoCo already, perhaps? | |
| [08:09] <n2diy> desertc: I don't understand your question? | |
| [08:10] <desertc> I thought you were not already involved with the Ubuntu LoCo project, but maybe I had the wrong idea. | |
| [08:12] <desertc> Good luck with your efforts, n2diy | |
| [08:12] <n2diy> desertc: I don't think I am? I tried to become a Ubuntu sponser, or whatever it is called, and I don't think I was successfull.? I haven't heard anything to indicate I was? | |
| [08:14] <n2diy> deserttc, ok, thanks. | |
| [08:14] <n2diy> desertc, ok, thanks. | |
| [08:15] <n2diy> desertc, good night. | |
