[11:53] <pep> marketing material for ubuntu?
[11:53] <unitech> yeah
[11:53] <pep> Do you need places on the internet to download such material?
[11:53] <unitech> i ask in the e-mail to send me marketing materials
[11:53] <pep> Ah yeah
[11:53] <unitech> with cd
[11:53] <unitech> together
[11:53] <pep> Well shipit can provide you CDs, we can provide you with marketing material
[11:54] <unitech> oh yeah
[11:54] <unitech> thats nice
[11:54] <pep> I doubt that shipit will send you marketing material... I suppose you will have to print it by yourself though...
[11:54] <pep> wait...
[11:54] <unitech> ohh
[11:54] <unitech> too much for me
[11:56] <pep> maybe you can see about this with canonical... I'm not sure...
[11:56] <pep> anyway, here are some websites with material:
[11:57] <pep> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/SpreadUbuntu/diy/Materials , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Materials , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing
[11:57] <pep> on these pages there are many links to other pages with material, etc..
[11:57] <pep> it is all a bit scattered for the moment, but we are busy working on centralising everything!
[11:58] <unitech> will they send me materials
[11:59] <unitech> or not
[11:59] <unitech> ?
[11:59] <pep> Well, no, this is material to be printed and used... to get printed material... you should contact the LoCo Team of Serbia..
[12:00] <pep> are you in contact with them?
[12:00] <unitech> no
[12:00] <unitech> i'm not
[12:00] <pep> then go to this IRC channel: #ubuntu-rs
[12:00] <pep> and ask
[12:00] <unitech> thnx
[12:01] <pep> this is the website
[12:01] <pep> http://www.ubuntu-rs.org/
[12:01] <pep> unitech: you should really do this with the loco team! ;-)
[12:02] <unitech> i'm trying to ask them no one is answer me
[12:03] <pep> write to this list ubuntu-rs@lists.ubuntu.com or try to contact them in the forum: http://www.ubuntu-rs.org/forum/
[12:05] <unitech> i'm trying to send them e-mail
[12:06] <pep> good idea!
[12:15] <unitech> i just sent them e-mail
[12:21] <pep> unitech: you will have much more success if you do this in coordination with your loco team
[12:21] <pep> and you haev more chance of getting the CDs too...
[12:21] <pep> have*
[12:25] <pep> oh and unitech: think about staying in the #ubuntu-rs channel, sometimes they answer an hour later if they haven't seen it... =)
[13:17] <unitech> i called canonical
[13:17] <unitech> they do not support the quantity of 100 cd
[13:24] <pep> I was pretty sure of that ;)
[13:25] <pep> Are you doing this with your loco?
[13:27] <unitech> they cant help me too
[13:28] <unitech> the only think i had good for all conversation was that girl merilize coetzee
[13:28] <unitech> she has a sweet voice
[13:32] <pep> your loco told you that they're not supporting you in this project? after you wrote to their list?
[13:33] <unitech> yes
[13:33] <pep> well that was quick^^
[13:33] <unitech> they just tell us to contact canonical
[13:34] <pep> I see..
[13:34] <unitech> what should i do now
[13:34] <unitech> ???
[13:35] <pep> well I'm sorry to hear that, but it's probably best to get involved in your loco rather than doing your own thing... You should set up a clear project description, with what you have in mind, and propose it to them... if they are all against it, then I'm afraid you can't do a lot more...
[13:36] <unitech> the victim are my custumers of all of this
[13:36] <unitech> i'm to find a solution
[13:37] <unitech> i'm going to give u a detail
[13:37] <unitech> if microsoft is going to catch xp unlincesed penalty is 36.000 euro for a company
[13:38] <unitech> only for xp
[13:38] <unitech> plus extra for other softwares
[13:38] <unitech> thats why i want to help them
[13:39] <unitech> to make promotion and make them understand that open source is better
[13:41] <pep> Yes, I understand your point very well :)
[13:42] <pep> well, you can always do you rproject with a little less Cds
[13:49] <unitech> yeah
[13:49] <unitech> maybe 20
[13:49] <unitech> to apply many time
[13:49] <unitech> heh
[18:42] <dergringo> hi :)
[18:42] <dergringo> Did I hear right? DIY gets resurrected?
[19:43] <pep> dergringo: jupp

[19:49] <pep> with the others

[19:50] <dergringo> I fully agree. It looks like it will be built upon drupal. Right?
[19:50] <pep> dergringo: I'll send you the email I sent to the list sooner this afternoon
[19:50] <pep> yes, drupal
