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