[20.01.2009 18:08] <notlocalhorst> FunkyPenguin: because you are such a great camera guy, could you maybe help out Jürgen/Tom at fosdem filming?
[20.01.2009 18:09] <FunkyPenguin> notlocalhorst: I can try :)
[20.01.2009 18:10] <FunkyPenguin> as i blogged im hoping to continue the interviews i did before
[20.01.2009 18:10] <notlocalhorst> cool
[20.01.2009 18:10] <notlocalhorst> so anything else on events?
[20.01.2009 18:11] <notlocalhorst> is everybody watching obama? :-)
[20.01.2009 18:12] <rhorstkoetter> sure
[20.01.2009 18:12] * decriptor topic change?
[20.01.2009 18:12] <notlocalhorst> ok, no questions on the wiki, anything from the chanal?
[20.01.2009 18:12] <notlocalhorst> decriptor: i can't do it ... someone revoked my rights to do it ... 
[20.01.2009 18:12] <Beineri> did someone point up for People of openSUSE?
[20.01.2009 18:12] <decriptor> oh
[20.01.2009 18:13] <rhorstkoetter> FunkyPenguin: I'd like to get involved in HH/openSUSE TV and -Tutorials. We should chat about it.
[20.01.2009 18:13] <Beineri> Carlos wrote on -project that he doesn't want to do it anymore...
[20.01.2009 18:13] <decriptor> rhorstkoetter: would love some help with -Tutorials, though I need to redo the site (the guts)
[20.01.2009 18:13] <notlocalhorst> rhorstkoetter: i don't have to book hotel for you or?
[20.01.2009 18:14] <rhorstkoetter> notlocalhorst: for fosdem?
[20.01.2009 18:14] <notlocalhorst> yes
[20.01.2009 18:14] <rhorstkoetter> notlocalhorst: nothing planned yet - I'll ask zonker again. deadline passed already?
[20.01.2009 18:15] <notlocalhorst> rhorstkoetter: i guess you can still find a room ...
[20.01.2009 18:15] <rhorstkoetter> decriptor: please send me an overview email what needs to be done. OK?
[20.01.2009 18:15] <rhorstkoetter> notlocalhorst: OK
[20.01.2009 18:15] <notlocalhorst> but for suse guys:yes
[20.01.2009 18:16] <notlocalhorst> Beineri: so we still need someone to continue? i cant find it right now
[20.01.2009 18:16] <Beineri> notlocalhorst: yeah, post a call for volunteer on -marketing at least
[20.01.2009 18:17] <decriptor> rhorstkoetter: what's your email?
[20.01.2009 18:17] <rhorstkoetter> rhorstkoetter/at/opensuse.org ;)
[20.01.2009 18:17] <Beineri> notlocalhorst: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2009-01/msg00228.html
[20.01.2009 18:17] <decriptor> would it be possible to have a mailing list for things like oS-T, HH openSUSE.tv?
[20.01.2009 18:17] <decriptor> not sure if marketing is the right list?
[20.01.2009 18:17] <notlocalhorst> AI: /me: post jobdescription for p.o.o.
[20.01.2009 18:18] <rhorstkoetter> decriptor: I'd think that -marketing is accurate
[20.01.2009 18:18] * decriptor was worried more about too much noise on the list, but you are probably right
[20.01.2009 18:18] <notlocalhorst> it's always an option to make a new one if it's to much noise
[20.01.2009 18:19] <decriptor> true
[20.01.2009 18:19] <notlocalhorst> henne really loves to make new lists :-)
[20.01.2009 18:20] <decriptor> maybe this weekend I'll redo the guts of oS-T, and try to get it up and running agin
[20.01.2009 18:20] <FunkyPenguin> surely -project would be better than -marketing, at least for HH and tutorials
[20.01.2009 18:20] <decriptor> lol
[20.01.2009 18:20] <FunkyPenguin> decriptor: use the opensuse theme
[20.01.2009 18:20] <cgoncalves> Beineri: I can continue for a little bit (till I found someone else to do), but these last months have been difficult to me, plus not much interested in it anymore
[20.01.2009 18:20] <decriptor> I hadn't thought about that.
[20.01.2009 18:20] <decriptor> I'll throw it up there and try it out
[20.01.2009 18:21] <decriptor> though I have to admit, I do like the current one :)
[20.01.2009 18:22] <notlocalhorst> anything else?
[20.01.2009 18:24] <decriptor> notlocalhorst: when's my pay coming...
[20.01.2009 18:24] <decriptor> ;)
[20.01.2009 18:24] <FunkyPenguin> not from me
[20.01.2009 18:25] <notlocalhorst> decriptor: ask zonker :-)
[20.01.2009 18:25] <FunkyPenguin> oh actually, i do have one question
[20.01.2009 18:25] <notlocalhorst> k
[20.01.2009 18:25] <rhorstkoetter1> sorry, I encountered a disconnect :(
[20.01.2009 18:26] <notlocalhorst> np, i will send you the 8 pages of new AIs for you later
[20.01.2009 18:26] <notlocalhorst> FunkyPenguin: shoot
[20.01.2009 18:26] <FunkyPenguin> are there any plans to do some joint marketing with another project/distro?
[20.01.2009 18:26] <decriptor> notlocalhorst: wait I have some more for him :)
[20.01.2009 18:26] <rhorstkoetter1> notlocalhost: looking forward to it :)
[20.01.2009 18:26] <decriptor> I think it would be cool to run an ad in the new york times like mozilla did that one time
[20.01.2009 18:27] <notlocalhorst> FunkyPenguin: well ... we try to have a meeting with fedora at fosdem
[20.01.2009 18:27] <decriptor> the other thing, any of you seen those cards that novell give out for openoffice, groupwise, etc
[20.01.2009 18:27] <notlocalhorst> FunkyPenguin: do you have other projects in mind?
[20.01.2009 18:27] <decriptor> quick reference guides?
[20.01.2009 18:29] <notlocalhorst> FunkyPenguin: but because fedora also not sending so many ppl this time, we might have a longer meeting at Linuxtag (like 2 years ago iirc)
[20.01.2009 18:32] <notlocalhorst> ok, anything else?
[20.01.2009 18:32] <notlocalhorst> otherwise ... 3 ... 
[20.01.2009 18:32] <decriptor> notlocalhorst: me
[20.01.2009 18:32] <decriptor> ^^
[20.01.2009 18:33] <decriptor> those quick start guides
[20.01.2009 18:33] <decriptor> I think it would be cool to put some together
[20.01.2009 18:33] <notlocalhorst> what's with that
[20.01.2009 18:33] <notlocalhorst> like what?
[20.01.2009 18:33] <notlocalhorst> ah
[20.01.2009 18:34] <decriptor> trying to find an example
[20.01.2009 18:34] <decriptor> http://www.brainstorminc.com/shop/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage_new/product_id,32/category_id,1/manufacturer_id,0/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=41&page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage_new&product_id=32&category_id=1&manufacturer_id=0&vmcchk=1
[20.01.2009 18:34] <decriptor> wow, sorry about that
[20.01.2009 18:34] <decriptor> http://tinyurl.com/9x34pf
[20.01.2009 18:34] <decriptor> really didn't realize how long that was
[20.01.2009 18:34] <notlocalhorst> uhm, thats actually quite lame imho
[20.01.2009 18:35] <decriptor> really?
[20.01.2009 18:35] <notlocalhorst> this specific one, not the idea
[20.01.2009 18:35] <decriptor> for complete noobs I think it would be pretty handy
[20.01.2009 18:35] <decriptor> oh
[20.01.2009 18:35] <decriptor> :)
[20.01.2009 18:36] <notlocalhorst> but my opinion is not counting, so why not ... offer them for download and have some printed for events
[20.01.2009 18:36] <notlocalhorst> do you want to drive it? a template would be usefull ...
[20.01.2009 18:36] <decriptor> they already have one for sled 10
[20.01.2009 18:36] <decriptor> I wonder if we could do a beginner and advanced one
[20.01.2009 18:36] <decriptor> I think at shows it would be great to hand out with the dvd
[20.01.2009 18:37] <notlocalhorst> right ...
[20.01.2009 18:37] <decriptor> notlocalhorst: I guess everyone has already left... I propose it on the mailing list
[20.01.2009 18:38] <rhorstkoetter> JFYI, I'm still available
[20.01.2009 18:38] <notlocalhorst> yes, please ... it would maybe helpfull to have another example
[20.01.2009 18:38] <rhorstkoetter> btw, who takes care of a People of openSUSE call for volunteers?
[20.01.2009 18:38] <notlocalhorst> because the OOo is for me way beyond lame ...
[20.01.2009 18:38] <rhorstkoetter> Beineri?
[20.01.2009 18:38] <notlocalhorst> no, me
[20.01.2009 18:38] <rhorstkoetter> OK
[20.01.2009 18:38] <rhorstkoetter> thanks
[20.01.2009 18:39] <decriptor> notlocalhorst: maybe I'll install it on my wife laptop and make her run it, form a list of common tasks that she does/needs
[20.01.2009 18:40] <notlocalhorst> sounds good ... 
[20.01.2009 18:40] <notlocalhorst> there was a red hat in the obama audience
[20.01.2009 18:40] <notlocalhorst> now thats marketing!
[20.01.2009 18:42] <notlocalhorst> anyway, meeting is over, thanks everybody
