61 Jul 24 22:08:10 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: you can either do it after the meeting, from the IRC log, or in real time
62 Jul 24 22:08:20 <BLUG_Fred> don't hesitate to ask question or summary if you missed something
63 Jul 24 22:08:27 <BLUG_Fred> or clarification
64 Jul 24 22:08:41 <BLUG_Fred> also write down the AI (Action items) for what action and by who
65 Jul 24 22:08:43 <bckurera> sure i ll
66 Jul 24 22:09:25 <BLUG_Fred> ok..
67 Jul 24 22:09:26 <pockeylam> so for promotion, we should focus on registration these days
68 Jul 24 22:09:27 <bckurera> can we use meetbot tags
69 Jul 24 22:09:28 <bckurera> #action like that?
70 Jul 24 22:09:46 <BLUG_Fred> yes.. we talked about installing a bot but never had the time to do it
71 Jul 24 22:10:08 <bckurera> ok lets start discussing then
72 Jul 24 22:10:39 <pockeylam> so here are some icons: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Promote
73 Jul 24 22:10:57 <BLUG_Fred> so we're covering promotion of SFD registration
74 Jul 24 22:11:07 <BLUG_Fred> targets are event organizers right now
75 Jul 24 22:11:26 <pockeylam> let's blog and "tweet" about the registration, i just blogged about it http://pockey.dao2.com/
76 Jul 24 22:11:39 <BLUG_Fred> we're in discussion with 2 other organization for promotional partnership and community leveraging: OpenNIC and Joomla!
77 Jul 24 22:11:42 <pockeylam> and help to contact all the other communities of your country?
78 Jul 24 22:12:02 <BLUG_Fred> maybe we should try to look at a geographical approach?
79 Jul 24 22:12:07 <pockeylam> i sent emails to all over china and taiwan and some other asian countries
80 Jul 24 22:12:16 <pockeylam> that i have contacts with
81 Jul 24 22:12:23 <pockeylam> and we should all do the same :)
82 Jul 24 22:12:26 <BLUG_Fred> like someone is in charge of one region and uses his contacts and influence to spread the world
83 Jul 24 22:12:42 <lmmej> I will send the info to the MY guys that I know
84 Jul 24 22:12:44 <bckurera> do SFD have a FB page?
85 Jul 24 22:12:51 <BLUG_Fred> I can do Asia like pockeylam and France where I have 1-2 contacts
86 Jul 24 22:12:58 <BLUG_Fred> haha
87 Jul 24 22:13:08 <BLUG_Fred> let me check
88 Jul 24 22:13:19 <pockeylam> bckurera, yes, you searched software freedom day
89 Jul 24 22:13:25 <BLUG_Fred> http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/SocialNetworks
90 Jul 24 22:13:28 <BLUG_Fred> so yes
91 Jul 24 22:13:29 <bckurera> we can use that too
92 Jul 24 22:13:34 <pockeylam> but it's not maintained by SFI, it's maintained by a group of people
93 Jul 24 22:13:39 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Software-Freedom-Day/211861492652
94 Jul 24 22:13:47 <pockeylam> i tried to contact them to get access, but they ignored me
95 Jul 24 22:13:49 <BLUG_Fred> i really forgot who maintains that page
96 Jul 24 22:13:51 <bckurera> thanks for links
97 Jul 24 22:13:53 <pockeylam> so i keep on putting news there
98 Jul 24 22:13:55 <BLUG_Fred> pockeylam: oh really?
99 Jul 24 22:14:01 <pockeylam> BLUG_Fred, yes, they refused to add me
100 Jul 24 22:14:10 <BLUG_Fred> pockeylam: gee..
101 Jul 24 22:14:15 <pockeylam> BLUG_Fred, that guy talked to me, but whenever i asked for access, he simply ignore me
102 Jul 24 22:14:19 <BLUG_Fred> is there any process to claim a page on FB?
103 Jul 24 22:14:25 <pockeylam> it doesnt matter
104 Jul 24 22:14:33 <BLUG_Fred> do they communicate?
105 Jul 24 22:14:42 <BLUG_Fred> well maybe we should create a new page under our control
106 Jul 24 22:14:44 <pockeylam> i dont think so
107 Jul 24 22:14:48 <BLUG_Fred> we can take SFD or SFD2011
108 Jul 24 22:14:56 <bckurera> that nice
109 Jul 24 22:14:58 <BLUG_Fred> SFD might be taken
110 Jul 24 22:15:00 <bckurera> no ambiguity
111 Jul 24 22:15:04 <pockeylam> u can have more than 1 sfd group
112 Jul 24 22:15:11 <BLUG_Fred> i don't use FB so i'm really bling on this domain
113 Jul 24 22:15:27 <pockeylam> i also asked them to change the icon, sent them a new sfd icon, they just don't do it
114 Jul 24 22:16:25 <pockeylam> anyway, i will try to contact them again this year
115 Jul 24 22:16:39 <pockeylam> they should probably change the new logo
116 Jul 24 22:16:43 <BLUG_Fred> we will also have ads in 3 or 4 magazines before the event but those will be in August/September
117 Jul 24 22:16:48 <pockeylam> if they don't do it, i will create a new fb group then
118 Jul 24 22:16:52 <pockeylam> i seldom use fb neither...
119 Jul 24 22:17:02 <BLUG_Fred> apart from that i am not very connected in Europe
120 Jul 24 22:17:07 <BLUG_Fred> a bit more in the US
121 Jul 24 22:17:16 <pockeylam> http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/SocialNetworks
122 Jul 24 22:17:17 <BLUG_Fred> anyone feeling like helping with this?
123 Jul 24 22:17:21 <pockeylam> here is the social networks page
124 Jul 24 22:18:02 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK, lmmej, linuxmaster1 ?
125 Jul 24 22:18:04 <pockeylam> so what do others think?
126 Jul 24 22:18:16 <BLUG_Fred> Russia is a huge territory
127 Jul 24 22:18:28 <BLUG_Fred> we had a lot of teams in 2009 and then.. they all disappeared
128 Jul 24 22:18:31 <bckurera> it is good if we have ppl from every region
129 Jul 24 22:18:49 <bckurera> like LATAM, EMEA, APAC, NA like that
130 Jul 24 22:18:54 <BLUG_Fred> I think it was the Sun OpenSolaris communities that did that. we've seen similar phenomenon elsewhere
131 Jul 24 22:19:02 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: exactly
132 Jul 24 22:19:03 <lmmej> Well, I'm not really someone who uses a lot of SN
133 Jul 24 22:19:16 <bckurera> later we can break down that for sub sections
134 Jul 24 22:19:19 <lmmej> is there a group or some sort in Google+?
135 Jul 24 22:19:22 <lmmej> that we can create
136 Jul 24 22:19:36 <bckurera> Shall we add this fb thing as an action?
137 Jul 24 22:19:43 <BLUG_Fred> I can also tap into the GNOME community, but again it should be more of a partnership and there are more developers than promoters
138 Jul 24 22:19:48 <pockeylam> bckurera, please do
139 Jul 24 22:20:03 <BLUG_Fred> lmmej: i use none, but email is still quite used
140 Jul 24 22:20:11 <pockeylam> lmmej, i m not sure, can you check?
141 Jul 24 22:20:15 <lmmej> okay
142 Jul 24 22:20:17 <BLUG_Fred> lmmej: G+ cannot be used for a group I've heard (yet)
143 Jul 24 22:20:17 <bckurera> FB group creating for SFD2011 is assigned to pockeylam
144 Jul 24 22:20:21 <pockeylam> lmmej, at least i didn't create one, i don't use google+
145 Jul 24 22:20:21 <lmmej> let me take a quick look
146 Jul 24 22:20:29 <bckurera> #action FB group creating for SFD2011 is assigned to pockeylam
147 Jul 24 22:20:30 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, my last contributions seemed to go into the /dev/null changelog
148 Jul 24 22:20:31 <lmmej> haha i created an account but havent touched it since
149 Jul 24 22:20:39 <pockeylam> bckurera, i would rather use a generic term
150 Jul 24 22:20:43 <pockeylam> with 2011 :)
151 Jul 24 22:20:46 <pockeylam> bckurera, sfd
152 Jul 24 22:20:57 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: well any idea how to boost SFD registrations in the UK?
153 Jul 24 22:21:01 <bckurera> #action FB group creating for SFD is assigned to pockeylam
154 Jul 24 22:21:08 <pockeylam> lmmej, i got too many invitation...that makes me feel it's spam...
155 Jul 24 22:21:17 <pockeylam> bckurera, thanks!
156 Jul 24 22:21:21 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: I can provide you with a list of emails from previous year, but all those people *should* be on the announce mailing list
157 Jul 24 22:21:24 <bckurera> ok nice
158 Jul 24 22:21:45 <BLUG_Fred> lmmej: how are you connected with other LUGS in Russia? lots of LUGs there?
159 Jul 24 22:21:53 <BLUG_Fred> or other FOSS communities?
160 Jul 24 22:22:18 <BLUG_Fred> for South America we can probably ping Diego
161 Jul 24 22:22:43 <BLUG_Fred> lmmej: sorry that was meant for linuxmaster1
162 Jul 24 22:22:49 <lmmej> ah okay
163 Jul 24 22:22:53 <lmmej> i was confused for a moment
164 Jul 24 22:22:54 <BLUG_Fred> lmmej: buggy fingers
165 Jul 24 22:22:59 <lmmej> hehe
166 Jul 24 22:23:11 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: did you read my comments to lmmej about Russian LUGs?
167 Jul 24 22:23:21 <bckurera> I ll post a mail to fedora ML
168 Jul 24 22:23:26 <bckurera> i think its ok too
169 Jul 24 22:23:32 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: thanks
170 Jul 24 22:23:42 <bckurera> cool no problem
171 Jul 24 22:23:45 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: i subscribe only to the test list, so not really relevant
172 Jul 24 22:24:01 <BLUG_Fred> i can ping the openSUSE community though maybe
173 Jul 24 22:24:01 <bckurera> better use the Fedora Ambassador list
174 Jul 24 22:24:10 <bckurera> it is more relevant
175 Jul 24 22:24:11 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: give me that action item then ;-)
176 Jul 24 22:24:21 <BLUG_Fred> #action: fred to ping openSUSE community
177 Jul 24 22:24:22 <bckurera> sure
178 Jul 24 22:24:50 <bckurera> #action pint openSUSE community about SFD registration is assigned to BLUG_Fred
179 Jul 24 22:25:06 <pockeylam> i already put the registration blog post in planet gnome
180 Jul 24 22:25:10 <bckurera> #action ping Fedora community about SFD registration is assigned to bckurera
181 Jul 24 22:25:14 <lmmej> Well, Google+ has a spark thing which people can "add an interest" to it. It's like say a 'category' to follow - It automatically finds latest news using google's engine if im not wrong. I can upload a link to the spark search for people to add to their feeds.
182 Jul 24 22:25:25 <pockeylam> so the gnome communities know about the registration already if they follow the planet
183 Jul 24 22:25:29 <BLUG_Fred> so mike_FFSUK, no mood to talk to your fellows from the UK?
184 Jul 24 22:25:46 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: maybe you'd prefer to go after France or Spain? ;-)
185 Jul 24 22:25:49 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, I will publicise in the UK.
186 Jul 24 22:25:59 * rome_753 (~sergey@188.232.38.222) has joined #sfd-marketing
187 Jul 24 22:26:07 <pockeylam> lmmej, nice!
188 Jul 24 22:26:15 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: if you need some contacts from last year teams let me know
189 Jul 24 22:26:19 <mike_FFSUK> Someone has already posted to the UK LUG list but I will do some follow up work.
190 Jul 24 22:26:34 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: there was a woman quite dynamic I remember... (she struggled with the wiki)
191 Jul 24 22:26:46 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: oh that's good to know
192 Jul 24 22:26:52 <mike_FFSUK> FFSUK and I are going to try to get more SFD events in the UK (again!). :)
193 Jul 24 22:26:56 <BLUG_Fred> shall we keep track of where it is announced?
194 Jul 24 22:27:04 <BLUG_Fred> we usually have a wiki page for that...
195 Jul 24 22:27:05 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, I know her.
196 Jul 24 22:27:07 * BLUG_Fred searching
197 Jul 24 22:27:17 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: she was nice I remember...
198 Jul 24 22:27:29 <bckurera> BLUD_Fred need permission to create the mm page on wiki
199 Jul 24 22:27:36 <BLUG_Fred> and was looking at FOSS from a very practical point of view I felt
200 Jul 24 22:27:44 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, yes she is and she battles on with pushing free software in difficult times.
201 Jul 24 22:27:47 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: i need your wiki name
202 Jul 24 22:27:56 <BLUG_Fred> which i probably have somewhere
203 Jul 24 22:27:57 <bckurera> Buddhika Kurera
204 Jul 24 22:28:10 <BLUG_Fred> with space?
205 Jul 24 22:28:39 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: added
206 Jul 24 22:28:47 <bckurera> ok thanks
207 Jul 24 22:29:37 <BLUG_Fred> found it! http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Marketing/SitePosting
208 Jul 24 22:29:48 <BLUG_Fred> i need to move the 2010 page
209 Jul 24 22:30:07 <BLUG_Fred> I also submitted to /. no idea if it got listed
210 Jul 24 22:30:40 <bckurera> please note any action item with #action so that i can easily find them :)
211 Jul 24 22:31:12 <mike_FFSUK> I am still finding people really into Free Software who haven't heard of SFD. Tell everyone you know about SFD, even Free Software people!
212 Jul 24 22:32:41 <pockeylam> mike_FFSUK, nice!
213 Jul 24 22:34:32 <pockeylam> so fred is moving the wiki page for site listing
214 Jul 24 22:34:51 <pockeylam> do we have anything to add for marketing registration?
215 Jul 24 22:35:13 <mike_FFSUK> I can proof read English, if necessary.
216 Jul 24 22:35:42 * bckurera has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
217 Jul 24 22:35:47 <BLUG_Fred> we should probably email discuss to ask team leaders to blog and promote as well, and show that posting page
218 Jul 24 22:35:58 <BLUG_Fred> and for ourselves we should follow the last year one at least
219 Jul 24 22:36:01 * bckurera (bckurera@175.157.161.54) has joined #sfd-marketing

235 Jul 24 22:41:38 <BLUG_Fred> last year they didn't publish my submission
236 Jul 24 22:41:50 <BLUG_Fred> and we'll do another one the day before I guess.. for people to attend
237 Jul 24 22:41:52 <pockeylam> by the way, this year, our goodies are better than ever :)
238 Jul 24 22:42:15 <BLUG_Fred> I like the 1st comment: "damn hippies and their open source software.... haven't we learned by now that closed source is much better?"
239 Jul 24 22:42:25 <pockeylam> we have each pack a banner and ~10 tshirt labels on top of tshirts, stickers, balloons and dvds
240 Jul 24 22:42:58 <lmmej> pockeylam: sounds good =)
241 Jul 24 22:43:44 <BLUG_Fred> well the /. post probably got us the Joomla! contact.. that's what I thought and hadn't check.
242 Jul 24 22:43:45 <bckurera> great work so far
243 Jul 24 22:43:47 <BLUG_Fred> it's a good one

249 Jul 24 22:44:46 <mike_FFSUK> pockeylam, it's great to see the goodies back and stronger.
250 Jul 24 22:44:47 <BLUG_Fred> I am going to ask FSF and FSFE to help as well
251 Jul 24 22:45:03 <pockeylam> mike_FFSUK, yep!
252 Jul 24 22:45:04 <BLUG_Fred> but we should try to build an easy to guide presentation/workshop pack
253 Jul 24 22:45:12 <mike_FFSUK> pockeylam, I want my T-shirt! :)
254 Jul 24 22:45:21 <pockeylam> mike_FFSUK, haha u will have yours!
255 Jul 24 22:45:45 <BLUG_Fred> ok so we're done with promotion?
256 Jul 24 22:45:56 <BLUG_Fred> or any other idea/site to suggest?
257 Jul 24 22:46:07 <lmmej> btw pockeylam, for the registration what does the num of ubuntu CDs indicate?
258 Jul 24 22:46:10 <pockeylam> 2. non-free CD notice text content and writing
259 Jul 24 22:46:17 <pockeylam> 3. Competition committee (that's an old item)
260 Jul 24 22:46:28 <BLUG_Fred> lmmej: well it says how many you will get?
261 Jul 24 22:46:36 <BLUG_Fred> lmmej: i'm not sure I understand the question
262 Jul 24 22:46:39 <pockeylam> lmmej, it means that how many ubuntu cds do you want to receive
263 Jul 24 22:46:55 <lmmej> ah okay, nothing related to the other items in the pack yea?
264 Jul 24 22:47:00 <pockeylam> lmmej, as canonical sponsonered their cds
265 Jul 24 22:47:10 <BLUG_Fred> lmmej: unrelated, 2 different shipments
266 Jul 24 22:47:11 <pockeylam> lmmej, no, nothing related
267 Jul 24 22:47:26 <pockeylam> for the first registered 200 teams, you will have the same pack :)
268 Jul 24 22:47:38 <pockeylam> from SFI
269 Jul 24 22:47:45 <lmmej> Ah alright. Thanks.
270 Jul 24 22:47:59 <BLUG_Fred> so next item is the notice in non-free CDs
271 Jul 24 22:48:03 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, are you going to do my idea where we have a blog of people preparing their SFD event?
272 Jul 24 22:48:13 <BLUG_Fred> do people need some background on the issue?
273 Jul 24 22:48:45 <mike_FFSUK> pockeylam, when does '2.' need to be done by?
274 Jul 24 22:48:45 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: yes.. we should do it. I'm a bit swamped now, but it's written. would you like to lead the project?
275 Jul 24 22:48:58 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: and blog directly on sfd.org?
276 Jul 24 22:49:23 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, could do.
277 Jul 24 22:49:41 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: that'd be great!
278 Jul 24 22:49:54 <bckurera> shound action :)
279 Jul 24 22:50:01 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: i have a few names worth giving you
280 Jul 24 22:50:11 <pockeylam> mike_FFSUK, 2?
281 Jul 24 22:50:12 <BLUG_Fred> old organizers who did reports before and like to share
282 Jul 24 22:50:21 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: so the baby is yours!
283 Jul 24 22:50:32 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: are you familiar with Joomla!
284 Jul 24 22:50:34 <mike_FFSUK> mike_FFSUK, !!!
285 Jul 24 22:50:44 <mike_FFSUK> mike_FFSUK, no.
286 Jul 24 22:50:57 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: with html?
287 Jul 24 22:51:00 <mike_FFSUK> mike_FFSUK, yes.
288 Jul 24 22:51:09 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, yes.
289 Jul 24 22:51:10 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: ok so it should be simple.
290 Jul 24 22:51:21 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, I can do it!
291 Jul 24 22:51:29 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: i'll set up an account for you and will tell you where to find the few buttons
292 Jul 24 22:51:58 <BLUG_Fred> #action : fred to create a sfd.org account for mike_FFSUK to blog
293 Jul 24 22:52:18 <BLUG_Fred> i think i had an old AI from last time to create a moderator group to help with the wiki
294 Jul 24 22:52:20 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, send me an email with details and pointers.
295 Jul 24 22:52:22 <BLUG_Fred> which i didn't do
296 Jul 24 22:52:27 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: i will
297 Jul 24 22:52:41 <BLUG_Fred> ok.. so for the notice in non-free CDs...
298 Jul 24 22:52:43 <pockeylam> BLUG_Fred, when does <<2. non-free CD notice text content and writing>> need to be done?
299 Jul 24 22:52:57 <BLUG_Fred> pockeylam: next week i'd say
300 Jul 24 22:53:01 <pockeylam> BLUG_Fred, mike is asking when is the deadline
301 Jul 24 22:53:05 <BLUG_Fred> RMS just sent me a reminder
302 Jul 24 22:53:13 <pockeylam> mike_FFSUK, next week :)
303 Jul 24 22:53:16 <BLUG_Fred> pockeylam: ah.. i missed that one, sorry mike_FFSUK
304 Jul 24 22:53:41 <BLUG_Fred> i think we need to write the notice and see how to best promote it among teams to get results
305 Jul 24 22:54:02 <pockeylam> just one very short sentence?
306 Jul 24 22:54:08 <BLUG_Fred> i see that really as the same challenge from converting windows users to Linux
307 Jul 24 22:54:16 <BLUG_Fred> pockeylam: i think a bit more
308 Jul 24 22:54:28 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, I will take that on but poke me for progress!
309 Jul 24 22:54:35 <pockeylam> similar to: "it contains non-free software"
310 Jul 24 22:54:43 <BLUG_Fred> we have a full CD size space, let's use it to make it sound important and desirable as a goal for all
311 Jul 24 22:54:50 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: the notice?
312 Jul 24 22:54:53 <BLUG_Fred> ok
313 Jul 24 22:55:02 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, yes, give me the notice.
314 Jul 24 22:55:04 <pockeylam> mike_FFSUK, nice!
315 Jul 24 22:55:17 <BLUG_Fred> you all noticed i introduced the 'concept' in the registration opening announcement
316 Jul 24 22:55:40 <mike_FFSUK> I have thought about this a lot being the chair of a FS group that has given out Ubuntu CDs.
317 Jul 24 22:55:45 <BLUG_Fred> #action: mike to draft the notice to be put in non-free distro CD by team organizers
318 Jul 24 22:55:53 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: ahhhh
319 Jul 24 22:56:06 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: and it keeps you awake at night?
320 Jul 24 22:56:13 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, yes! :(
321 Jul 24 22:56:20 <BLUG_Fred> rome_753: hi! we forgot to ask you to introduce yourself
322 Jul 24 22:56:48 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: bah.. they contribute in their own way
323 Jul 24 22:57:09 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: GNOME dev miss the time when all Ubuntu users where using pre-release software to help testing
324 Jul 24 22:57:28 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: it was a lot of users.. and now they're gone
325 Jul 24 22:58:02 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, it is a very tragic turn of events. :(
326 Jul 24 22:58:24 <mike_FFSUK> How many words can the notice be?
327 Jul 24 22:59:06 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: well.. take a CD and see whether we use only one side, or folder paper
328 Jul 24 22:59:18 <BLUG_Fred> i think double sided is more complicated for team organized to print them
329 Jul 24 22:59:39 <BLUG_Fred> but folded should be ok if we can't fit it on 1 CD size
330 Jul 24 22:59:43 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: what do you think?
331 Jul 24 22:59:44 <mike_FFSUK> I won't have it too long or people won't read but I have an idea what to say.
332 Jul 24 22:59:51 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: right
333 Jul 24 23:00:08 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: but I found that just one sentence can make it easily misinterpreted
334 Jul 24 23:00:11 <BLUG_Fred> or sound extreme
335 Jul 24 23:00:20 <mike_FFSUK> I think a few sentences is enough. I *do* want people to read it and think about it. Not like 10 pages on small print!
336 Jul 24 23:00:45 <rome_753> BLUG_Fred: Hi! I'm from Russia
337 Jul 24 23:00:47 <mike_FFSUK> Or just "This is not Free Software!"
338 Jul 24 23:00:51 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: at the same time if you compare this with warnings and now photos on cigarette packs.. :(
339 Jul 24 23:01:07 <BLUG_Fred> rome_753: oh! a buddy from linuxmaster1 then?
340 Jul 24 23:01:28 <mike_FFSUK> "Properitiery software causes cancer" ?
341 Jul 24 23:01:38 <BLUG_Fred> rome_753: Omsk or SarLUG?
342 Jul 24 23:01:41 <bckurera> we cannot say
343 Jul 24 23:01:50 <bckurera> 'not a FREE software''
344 Jul 24 23:01:52 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: yes.. and then a photo of Steve Balmer
345 Jul 24 23:01:58 <BLUG_Fred> that's how you're gonna end up
346 Jul 24 23:01:58 <bckurera> FREE means FREEDOM
347 Jul 24 23:02:06 <bckurera> so it violates all our vision os be careful
348 Jul 24 23:02:12 <linuxmaster1> BLUG_Fred: He is from Omsk LUG
349 Jul 24 23:02:22 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: you're from SarLUG?
350 Jul 24 23:02:37 <mike_FFSUK> "Proprietary software harms your baby" ?
351 Jul 24 23:02:39 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1, rome_753: any idea how to boost registrations for SFD in Russia?
352 Jul 24 23:03:14 <bckurera> shall we open a short thread on ML to get ideas
353 Jul 24 23:03:29 <bckurera> I think we can get bunch of ideas
354 Jul 24 23:03:34 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: mike_FFSUK is taking the baby, so i'll let him manage
355 Jul 24 23:03:38 <bckurera> i mean ideas on such statements
356 Jul 24 23:03:49 <pockeylam> bckurera, ask mike_FFSUK :)
357 Jul 24 23:03:53 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: my experience is that ml for those topics are very sensitive
358 Jul 24 23:04:17 <bckurera> seems great then, its ok floor to mike :)
359 Jul 24 23:04:33 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: mike_FFSUK and I were just kidding about the text
360 Jul 24 23:04:42 <linuxmaster1> BLUG_Fred: The best way to make information in specialized jabber- and IRC- conferences
361 Jul 24 23:05:01 <BLUG_Fred> the sensitive part is to say that it is not Free Software when it's true
362 Jul 24 23:05:10 <mike_FFSUK> I will write the message in a few clear sentences.
363 Jul 24 23:05:18 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: ah really?
364 Jul 24 23:05:30 <linuxmaster1> BLUG_Fred: and resourses like welinux, ubuntu.ru etc
365 Jul 24 23:05:34 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, I will try to get the balance right.
366 Jul 24 23:05:36 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: without upsetting our sponsors
367 Jul 24 23:05:39 <BLUG_Fred> ;-)
368 Jul 24 23:06:04 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: can you take care of this, maybe with rome_753 ? 50/50
369 Jul 24 23:06:10 <BLUG_Fred> or 60/40 ;-)
370 Jul 24 23:06:17 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, Ubuntu would like to be 100% Free Software, I think.
371 Jul 24 23:06:58 <linuxmaster1> BLUG_Fred: OK!
372 Jul 24 23:07:03 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: it's a long debate and out of the scope.
373 Jul 24 23:07:09 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: great!
374 Jul 24 23:07:25 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: another #action for linuxmaster1 and rome_753
375 Jul 24 23:07:46 <bckurera> what is the action body?
376 Jul 24 23:07:56 <BLUG_Fred> they will set up an IRC and jabber conference to promote SFD and contact ubuntu.ru and welinux and other Russian sites
377 Jul 24 23:08:13 <BLUG_Fred> the objective is to boost registration for SFD in Russia
378 Jul 24 23:08:18 <bckurera> if the license align with GNU/ OSI then we can get it as a FREEE software
379 Jul 24 23:08:40 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: maybe we set a target and if you reach it I come to Russia drinking Vodka with you (and dying... ;-) )
380 Jul 24 23:08:44 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, is there non-free software on the CDs or is it downloaded?
381 Jul 24 23:08:56 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: the kernel has non free bits
382 Jul 24 23:08:58 <BLUG_Fred> so yes
383 Jul 24 23:09:03 <linuxmaster1> BLUG_Fred: ^____^
384 Jul 24 23:09:04 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, k
385 Jul 24 23:09:07 <BLUG_Fred> i think Ubuntu one is also installed by default
386 Jul 24 23:09:28 <BLUG_Fred> that's the 2 things I can think of
387 Jul 24 23:09:46 <BLUG_Fred> and the Ubuntu software center offers non-free software for install
388 Jul 24 23:09:55 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, client side is FS but the server side isn't. Right?
389 Jul 24 23:10:01 <BLUG_Fred> but it shouldn t be so targeted at Ubuntu
390 Jul 24 23:10:13 <BLUG_Fred> I think all major distro suffer from the same disease
391 Jul 24 23:10:22 <BLUG_Fred> openSUSE, Fedora, etc
392 Jul 24 23:10:28 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: right
393 Jul 24 23:10:35 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: euh.. not sure
394 Jul 24 23:10:37 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, there is a difference between the FSF's Free System Distribution Guide lines and the Free Software Definition.
395 Jul 24 23:10:44 <BLUG_Fred> not sure whether the client is FS
396 Jul 24 23:11:34 <bckurera> this seems to be a very long n sensitive discussion :)
397 Jul 24 23:11:44 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: Client-side: GPLv3
398 Jul 24 23:12:21 <mike_FFSUK> bckurera, yes.
399 Jul 24 23:12:29 <BLUG_Fred> source: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-control-tower/ubuntuone-client/trunk/annotate/head%3A/ubuntuone/logger.py
400 Jul 24 23:12:38 <BLUG_Fred> which i got from wikipedia
401 Jul 24 23:12:59 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: so.. it seems mainly the kernel bits then
402 Jul 24 23:13:25 <BLUG_Fred> flash should be a target as well, without specifically naming it
403 Jul 24 23:13:45 <BLUG_Fred> it's the one piece of software that every Linux user install without even thinking about it..
404 Jul 24 23:13:47 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, is that in the default install?
405 Jul 24 23:13:51 <BLUG_Fred> (I run Gnash)
406 Jul 24 23:13:59 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, me too.
407 Jul 24 23:14:01 <BLUG_Fred> Flash needs to be downloaded
408 Jul 24 23:14:17 <BLUG_Fred> and FF on Ubuntu used to ask people to chose between both
409 Jul 24 23:14:30 <BLUG_Fred> i meant the 'other' Linux users ;-)
410 Jul 24 23:14:48 <BLUG_Fred> i run Virtualbox closed source edition... for the USB support
411 Jul 24 23:14:52 * BLUG_Fred hides
412 Jul 24 23:15:11 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, use kvm!
413 Jul 24 23:15:14 <BLUG_Fred> i think i run it once a month maybe, like 2 minutes and close it back.. still
414 Jul 24 23:15:16 <BLUG_Fred> sometimes less
415 Jul 24 23:15:37 <BLUG_Fred> i have an old XP image which i kept over the years...
416 Jul 24 23:15:51 <BLUG_Fred> it's too much trouble and I seldom use it
417 Jul 24 23:15:58 <BLUG_Fred> so i almost don't feel bad about it
418 Jul 24 23:16:02 <BLUG_Fred> i could live without it
419 Jul 24 23:16:10 <BLUG_Fred> it's 'luxury'
420 Jul 24 23:16:27 <BLUG_Fred> my TV remote control code is proprietary ;-)
421 Jul 24 23:16:34 <BLUG_Fred> i still use it
422 Jul 24 23:17:09 <BLUG_Fred> but yeah.. the idea is to inform people and make them realize that even on Linux you can find some proprietary stuff
423 Jul 24 23:17:25 <mike_FFSUK> BLUG_Fred, I forgive you. Chant the Free Software song 10 times.
424 Jul 24 23:17:27 <BLUG_Fred> software Freedom doesn't stop when you live the Windows/Mac world
425 Jul 24 23:17:33 <BLUG_Fred> haha
426 Jul 24 23:17:46 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: hey we can a Software Freedom Day song now!
427 Jul 24 23:18:14 <BLUG_Fred> i'm waiting for the license confirmation but that's pretty cool (especially if they go CC-BY or CC-BY-SA
428 Jul 24 23:19:28 <linuxmaster1> BLUG_Fred: We going to make focus on education and entertainment. Will be there some ideas to promote Free Software in schools and kindergartens?
429 Jul 24 23:20:22 <mike_FFSUK> linuxmaster1, people are free to do that in their events. We had stuff on moodle, for instance.
430 Jul 24 23:20:33 <pockeylam> two of the dvds, the free culture and opendisc contain some software / contents
431 Jul 24 23:20:37 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: we can work on that
432 Jul 24 23:20:47 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: pockeylam and i did quite some work in that area
433 Jul 24 23:20:54 <pockeylam> linuxmaster1, two of the dvds, the free culture and opendisc contain some software / contents that will be useful in schools and kindergarden
434 Jul 24 23:21:17 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: unfortunately we have a lot of stuff in Chinese only
435 Jul 24 23:21:17 <lmmej> linuxmaster1: We did a workshop for one of the school in SG, where we used the OpenCD to let the students play around with Open Source education games
436 Jul 24 23:21:29 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: can we continue this discussion on the mailing list?
437 Jul 24 23:21:46 <linuxmaster1> BLUG_Fred: wow... Why chinese???
438 Jul 24 23:22:06 <BLUG_Fred> mike_FFSUK: Matt Oquist our treasurer and founder does a lot of work in moodle too
439 Jul 24 23:22:15 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: because it was for Chinese schools
440 Jul 24 23:22:28 <pockeylam> linuxmaster1, there are some games, animations , u can use them in kindergartens
441 Jul 24 23:22:53 <BLUG_Fred> Free Software? Nice. Will they be handing out copies of Photoshop, Maya, or Lightwave by chance?
442 Jul 24 23:22:55 <BLUG_Fred> haha
443 Jul 24 23:22:59 <pockeylam> linuxmaster1, while u can do a presentation to the teachers or parents if the kids are too young to understand software
444 Jul 24 23:22:59 <linuxmaster1> BLUG_Fred: I was thinking in China there is only illegal Widndows...
445 Jul 24 23:23:07 <BLUG_Fred> linuxmaster1: well.. almost
446 Jul 24 23:23:21 <BLUG_Fred> poor school can't even afford illegal windows ;-)
447 Jul 24 23:23:44 <bckurera> that seems to be a good point
448 Jul 24 23:23:51 <BLUG_Fred> so competition committee...
449 Jul 24 23:24:03 <bckurera> 3rd point right
450 Jul 24 23:24:07 <pockeylam> http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CompetitionCommittee
451 Jul 24 23:24:21 <BLUG_Fred> pockeylam: what did we need to finalized? rules and finding a committee from the volunteers who actually don't participate
452 Jul 24 23:24:36 <pockeylam> anybody is interested in joining this committee to help to rank the submissions for 2011?
453 Jul 24 23:25:22 <pockeylam> it's very interesting to review events reports, think about it :)
454 Jul 24 23:25:28 <bckurera> we can contact the list of potential committee members and see their interest
455 Jul 24 23:25:31 <pockeylam> it's only 1 or 2 days of work
456 Jul 24 23:25:45 <BLUG_Fred> ok maybe we can email this to the marketing list then.. see if we have some people interested in driving this project
457 Jul 24 23:25:48 <bckurera> just kind of an invitation
458 Jul 24 23:25:51 <pockeylam> ok
459 Jul 24 23:25:54 <pockeylam> sure!
460 Jul 24 23:26:13 <bckurera> whose action is this?
461 Jul 24 23:26:24 <BLUG_Fred> #action to BLUG_Fred to introduce the competion committee to marketing list
462 Jul 24 23:26:32 <BLUG_Fred> and find a project leader :p
463 Jul 24 23:26:49 <pockeylam> i m the project leader
464 Jul 24 23:26:57 <pockeylam> so let me send the email then :)
465 Jul 24 23:27:00 <BLUG_Fred> oh right.. should be someone from the board at least
466 Jul 24 23:27:04 <bckurera> good
467 Jul 24 23:27:06 <BLUG_Fred> else why do we have a board....
468 Jul 24 23:27:08 <BLUG_Fred> ;-)
469 Jul 24 23:27:15 <pockeylam> #action to pockeylam to introduce the competition committee to marketing list
470 Jul 24 23:27:20 <BLUG_Fred> well any other topic people would like to discuss?
471 Jul 24 23:28:15 <bckurera> introduce the competition list means
472 Jul 24 23:28:31 <bckurera> the ppl not yet finalized right?
473 Jul 24 23:28:47 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: it's too get other people than the current SFI board to vote
474 Jul 24 23:29:04 <BLUG_Fred> (and review best events, maybe have more competition types?_
475 Jul 24 23:29:05 <bckurera> yup at the moment we have 3 sugessions
476 Jul 24 23:29:24 <BLUG_Fred> current voters are all SFI board
477 Jul 24 23:29:34 * mike_FFSUK has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
478 Jul 24 23:29:39 <bckurera> #link http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CompetitionCommittee
479 Jul 24 23:29:48 <bckurera> here we have 3 sugessions
480 Jul 24 23:29:53 <bckurera> so we need to find 2 more
481 Jul 24 23:29:54 <bckurera> rught?
482 Jul 24 23:30:07 <bckurera> sorry right?
483 Jul 24 23:31:01 <pockeylam> bckurera, not really, there is no quota
484 Jul 24 23:31:09 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: not sure
485 Jul 24 23:31:16 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: i think more than 5 is good
486 Jul 24 23:31:35 <pockeylam> bckurera, we will see how many we can find :)
487 Jul 24 23:31:36 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: i think we also might end up only with people from our own community doing the job
488 Jul 24 23:31:43 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: but that's fine by me
489 Jul 24 23:31:55 <BLUG_Fred> at least we realize the work involved
490 Jul 24 23:32:20 <bckurera> if we can get more externals the process get more standarized and transparent too :)
491 Jul 24 23:32:38 <bckurera> plus we can use this as another marketing stream too :)
492 Jul 24 23:32:49 <bckurera> i mean like reaching to external corporates
493 Jul 24 23:33:24 <bckurera> What I suggest is we can invite externals to take part
494 Jul 24 23:33:25 <linuxmaster1> I will made standard message and will copy it in all geeks' mass media.
495 Jul 24 23:33:39 <bckurera> we can do it based on contacts
496 Jul 24 23:33:40 <linuxmaster1> We will see how it helps.
497 Jul 24 23:33:55 <bckurera> and we can set a deadline to form the final committee
498 Jul 24 23:34:07 <bckurera> what you guys think?
499 Jul 24 23:34:35 <pockeylam> bckurera, if there is a deadline, should be by end of September
500 Jul 24 23:34:47 <bckurera> yup
501 Jul 24 23:35:02 <bckurera> like 2 weeks before the deadline for reports
502 Jul 24 23:35:23 <pockeylam> bckurera, so we have 2 months to form the committee
503 Jul 24 23:35:30 <pockeylam> should be enough
504 Jul 24 23:35:36 <bckurera> exactly
505 Jul 24 23:35:52 <bckurera> we can reach externals and invite BTW we can promote SFD to them as well
506 Jul 24 23:36:01 <bckurera> so next time they will help us to improve
507 Jul 24 23:36:04 <bckurera> like funding :)
508 Jul 24 23:37:02 <pockeylam> yep
