(08:24:47 PM) trinikrono: as i was saying we can discuss what we plan to do to help ubuntu with eachother (08:25:13 PM) trinikrono: for instance we have allan_ here who can host ubuntu hours (08:25:44 PM) trinikrono: and we and Kofi_Atuah are working on something with the libary to showcase ubuntu (08:25:50 PM) trinikrono: *me (08:26:14 PM) kester_: A library showcase.that sounds pretty decent (08:26:18 PM) Minenorin: yep (08:26:26 PM) allan_: sounds irie (08:26:48 PM) trinikrono: yes i think it will be a good place to get ubuntu out there (08:27:19 PM) palladin35y: lol (08:27:20 PM) Kofi_Atuah: Yesh (08:27:20 PM) Kofi_Atuah: See, I was thinking (08:27:20 PM) Kofi_Atuah: ...

If we want people to adopt Ubuntu, we must state its benefits. (08:28:27 PM) ***Kofi_Atuah 's theme for the whole thing (08:28:37 PM) Kofi_Atuah: will be more about unix, development (08:28:39 PM) Kofi_Atuah: and stuff like that (08:28:44 PM) Kofi_Atuah: I'm not very good with ubuntu (08:28:55 PM) Kofi_Atuah: or linux itself, all I'm good with is code (08:28:55 PM) kester_: development? for the general public's use? (08:28:55 PM) Kofi_Atuah: if it's left to me (08:28:56 PM) Kofi_Atuah: alone (08:29:07 PM) Kofi_Atuah: I will just go my own path with stuff like C (08:29:08 PM) Kofi_Atuah: etc (08:29:11 PM) trinikrono: lol Kofi_Atuah (08:29:23 PM) trinikrono: keep it simple for now (08:29:24 PM) Kofi_Atuah: <-- doesn't know much about linux to do classes on a distro xD (08:29:36 PM) allan_: but this is group is ubuntu centric the unix thing is for ttlug (08:29:47 PM) palladin35y: lol (08:30:28 PM) ***trinikrono pats Minenorin on back, you look healthy enough (08:30:42 PM) Minenorin: doesn't matter dearie you'll learn (08:30:42 PM) Kofi_Atuah: hueheuheu \o/ (08:30:52 PM) palladin35y: rule one you need new users interested show according to allan new toys (08:31:31 PM) Kofi_Atuah left the room (quit: Quit: Page closed). (08:31:38 PM) trinikrono: Augustine: what are you thinking like fliers (08:31:59 PM) allan_: fb (08:33:02 PM) Augustine: Flyers will help with communication. What I mean is, WHY, me, as a library, business person, individual, household, choose Ubuntu over Windows. Is it cheaper? Better supported? Easier to work with? (08:34:00 PM) trinikrono: ok you mean supporting documentation (08:34:08 PM) trinikrono: to give people (08:34:09 PM) reavengrey [~reavengre@unaffiliated/reavengrey] entered the room. (08:34:14 PM) trinikrono: :D (08:34:23 PM) trinikrono: i thought i lost you there reavengrey (08:34:46 PM) reavengrey: dc'd, on phone now, typing is slower (08:35:07 PM) reavengrey: ah yea lol >.> (08:35:16 PM) Minenorin: That's the quandary right there (08:35:39 PM) Augustine: That can work. I mean, selling benefits. Ubuntu is a VERY scary piece of software. It's not Windows, many of my programs may not run. Why should I use it? Along those lines. (08:36:05 PM) Minenorin: He's right. That would draw me in. (08:36:29 PM) trinikrono: ok great can you make a flyer for us Augustine (08:36:44 PM) trinikrono: you seem to have a good idea already :D (08:37:26 PM) palladin35y: ok trinikrono ans that (08:37:26 PM) reavengrey: frankly there are no reasons to use any linux distro if you grew up on windows :O (08:37:26 PM) allan_: we must really try google+ or the skype conf thing hate typing (08:37:26 PM) allan_: sacrilage (08:37:28 PM) reavengrey: One thing we don't want to come off as is faatical and weird (08:37:32 PM) Augustine: Well, revenge if they are no reasons, why should I care? (08:37:37 PM) allan_: smite him :) (08:37:57 PM) reavengrey: >.< (08:38:04 PM) palladin35y: actually people some distro are way better than windows (08:38:14 PM) allan_: i believe thatwas tongue in cheek....devils advocate (08:38:50 PM) trinikrono: use dvorak allan_ :D (08:39:03 PM) trinikrono: it would keep your fingers nice and new (08:39:04 PM) palladin35y: also some software aside (08:39:06 PM) reavengrey: So who will be tsking part in the library classes? (08:39:15 PM) trinikrono: o/ (08:39:20 PM) Augustine: How is it better? With Windows, all my popular programs can run. I click and it opens..finished. Why should I use Ubuntu? (08:39:23 PM) kester_: If you're just trying to get people to change over from windows, they'll need motivation to do so. I suppose the target group should be adventurous people (08:39:27 PM) palladin35y: linux is a lot better (08:39:33 PM) trinikrono: or young people (08:39:44 PM) kester_: really and truly only they will want to change, and techie folks of course (08:39:46 PM) trinichica: Well, that is soemthing you can work on Augustine (08:39:47 PM) trinikrono: they are always willing to break things (08:39:50 PM) Augustine: I don't care palladin. How is it better? What will it do for me? (08:40:45 PM) trinichica: You seem to know the questions people will ask (08:40:45 PM) allan_: no virii free 34000 pieces of free s/ware, works on crap pcs(i should know) (08:40:45 PM) Augustine: WELL DONE ALLAN! (08:40:45 PM) trinichica: Make a brochure (08:40:46 PM) Augustine: No you have me thinking. (08:40:52 PM) Augustine: Now* (08:40:55 PM) ***reavengrey 's target is to spur on genrral programming growth in t'dad (08:41:00 PM) palladin35y: and it's free (08:41:02 PM) Augustine: Will it be cheaper than Windows? (08:41:14 PM) Minenorin: yep (08:41:18 PM) Minenorin: free :D (08:41:37 PM) allan_: my target is to get more users the rest will follow (08:41:38 PM) Augustine: I don't care about free. I care about support and security, I'm from a big firm in POS. (08:42:01 PM) allan_: then call browwwsers (08:42:02 PM) trinichica: Document it (08:42:04 PM) reavengrey: so idk if that helps us set a target group? young/techie, as suggested? I agree with that sentiment, as it was raised ear(ier (08:42:04 PM) trinichica: Nope (08:42:06 PM) trinichica: :) (08:43:06 PM) Augustine: Yes, find a target audience. (08:44:04 PM) trinikrono: target audience = joe public (08:44:05 PM) Augustine: And sell benefits. And you'll won't fail. (08:44:05 PM) kester_: And with a target audience, you can package to fit their needs. (08:44:05 PM) Augustine: Well said, Kester. (08:44:05 PM) palladin35y: true (08:44:05 PM) trinichica: Every and any one use windows but they can use Ubuntu for free every and anyone Just as they learned windows that same wwould be with Ubuntu (08:44:05 PM) Augustine: Which would mean, quicker delivery time, easier training. (08:44:13 PM) trinichica: Tech age (08:44:19 PM) trinichica: Forward ever (08:44:24 PM) trinichica: Sigh (08:45:20 PM) reavengrey: and guys, selling FOSS on its price will get us nowhere (08:45:33 PM) Minenorin: Yeah we know =_= (08:45:42 PM) reavengrey: most trinis use widpws for free -- piratebay (08:46:02 PM) Augustine: Good point, again, why should I choose Ubuntu? (08:46:13 PM) palladin35y: i say allan we can try google+ i sat in on a confrence the other day it was good (08:46:20 PM) Augustine: When I can get Windows (any version) for $5.00 (08:46:32 PM) Minenorin: And it just works. (08:47:25 PM) palladin35y: where (08:47:25 PM) allan_: including the virii on the cd that win was burnt on (08:47:25 PM) Minenorin: Price of the dvd you plan to burn it to maybe? (08:47:25 PM) Minenorin: Yep the hangouts are a great idea. (08:47:25 PM) kester_: lol @ allan_ (08:47:27 PM) trinichica: Because you can't be sued for Ubuntu on a cd (08:47:28 PM) trinichica: http://www.newsday.co.tt/features/0,81038.html (08:47:37 PM) trinichica: Pirated (08:47:58 PM) trinichica: Research is good (08:48:07 PM) Minenorin: Yea (08:48:14 PM) Augustine: Please, we, in Trinidad, have lost all respect for the Windows License. Selling Ubuntu on price, may not be wise, it can work, but maybe not. (08:48:25 PM) trinichica: Always weight out Pros and cons before (08:48:32 PM) trinichica: Read the articles (08:48:42 PM) allan_: how about 34sec to boot, no bloat, no sp,mal,virus scanners to suck up processor and ram, better film management and transfer yada yada (08:48:43 PM) Augustine: Good, that can be part of the marketing. (08:48:44 PM) trinichica: People get paid to rat on each other (08:48:49 PM) Minenorin: that'll work (08:49:01 PM) Augustine: Teach people about the TRUE cost of running Windows LEGALLY. (08:49:21 PM) palladin35y: ok as a computer tech most of the computers i work on have pirated software (08:49:21 PM) Augustine: Show them teh illls of piracy, then offer Ubunutu savings. (08:49:48 PM) Augustine: Yup, people think Office is Free. (08:50:09 PM) trinikrono: lol well thats more about opensorce in general (08:50:17 PM) trinikrono: all that is up our alley (08:50:40 PM) trinikrono: Augustine: we need people to go out in the trenches (08:50:57 PM) kester_: Also, showing them alternatives to all their software can prove to be useful as well... like gimp over 'pirated' photoshop (08:50:57 PM) Augustine: Ahhhhh (08:50:57 PM) Minenorin: At least with GNU/linux based operating systems we won't have to worry about people un-installing the anitvirus because they "didn't use it" (08:50:57 PM) Augustine: Yes! Yes! (08:50:57 PM) Minenorin: nooooo (08:50:57 PM) allan_: i do that daily they could care less when last did msoft or sba charge anyone,and they wont now that they are loosing market share to android tablets, ipads and macs (08:50:58 PM) palladin35y: yeah they dont know (08:50:58 PM) Minenorin: not gimp over photoshop (08:50:58 PM) Augustine: Yes Minenorin! Less viruses. (08:50:58 PM) Minenorin: anything but XD (08:50:58 PM) Augustine: THat's a PLUS to me. (08:50:58 PM) reavengrey: The selling point of FOSS is not price at all brethen :) (08:50:58 PM) Augustine: Now, you have me interested. (08:50:59 PM) Minenorin: its a lot less functionality (08:51:00 PM) kester_: Hahaha Minenorin good point (08:51:01 PM) metasansana: that argument about Linux and viruses is dated (08:51:11 PM) metasansana: hello folks :) (08:51:14 PM) reavengrey: it is versatility and fun (08:51:15 PM) trinichica: Hi (08:51:33 PM) palladin35y: i sorry i like photoshop (08:51:40 PM) Minenorin: its harder to get around, and its unfriendly to smaller screens (08:51:47 PM) Augustine: Yup, you all can use piracy to your advantage. (08:51:48 PM) Minenorin: i prefer corel draw (08:51:55 PM) Minenorin: but gimp is just not ready (08:51:56 PM) allan_: i like corel....and gimp is hard (08:52:10 PM) Augustine: You know what REALLy inpressed me when I use to use ubuntu? (08:52:13 PM) palladin35y: hey metasansana (08:52:24 PM) allan_: so use virtualbox or dual boot (08:52:24 PM) Augustine: That place where you can go and download software. (08:52:30 PM) Minenorin: we need programs that are able to replace the ones that we use not frustrate us (08:52:33 PM) kester_: Corel huh, gonna check that out now (08:52:35 PM) Minenorin: the software center? (08:52:36 PM) Augustine: Just type in a name and a whole list of software shows up.

(08:54:08 PM) Minenorin: also scribus (08:54:08 PM) Augustine: Ah yes, we are getting the jist of it. (08:54:08 PM) allan_: forgot that one and i thin it imports .cdr files (08:54:08 PM) Augustine: You see, Photoshop etc has become to easy to obtain. (08:54:08 PM) Augustine: That price is no longer a problem. (08:54:13 PM) reavengrey: so, what items are we loking at for the syllabud at the library? (08:54:17 PM) Augustine: Yes, the software center is awesome! (08:54:19 PM) palladin35y: gimp has it pluses and minuses lol (08:54:41 PM) Augustine: Gimp cannot hold a candle to Photoshop. (08:54:50 PM) Minenorin: komodo edit for the programmers and designers (08:54:51 PM) Augustine: However, it's a good piece of software. (08:55:05 PM) Minenorin: Its good for home use i think (08:55:15 PM) reavengrey: There's np opoint in us meeting if we don't begin workung on a syllabus (08:55:24 PM) Minenorin: gimp.

(09:11:04 PM) allan_: whoa this is not what i signed up for :)....where is ubuntu in all this the fun part the stuff to keep people awake who are windows fans (09:11:14 PM) palladin35y: show installation on an old machine many people throw away their old machines for a new one (09:11:19 PM) kester_: Allan has a point (09:11:35 PM) Augustine: Indeed. WHo care about installing Ubuntu? (09:11:46 PM) Augustine: Who cares about FOSS? What's a FOSS anyway?

(09:14:50 PM) Augustine: We just need to think like PEOPLE not TECHS (09:15:05 PM) Minenorin: Ok. well to tell you the truth as a person (09:15:20 PM) kester_: Not to mention ubuntu gives you a bit of extra security in the sense that most viruses won't affect your system (09:15:31 PM) Minenorin: I would not choose ubuntu as an entry to foss (09:15:42 PM) Augustine: Good! Honesty. (09:15:50 PM) Minenorin: i started with suse and everything just worked (09:15:50 PM) Minenorin: that was what i need (09:15:52 PM) Minenorin: needed* (09:15:57 PM) allan_: need to keep it simple get them interested and move on with those who want to develop (09:16:13 PM) Augustine: Yup, simplicity.

Don't compete with Windows. There are things that ubuntu does better than Windows. I'm going to use Linux, exclusively, for developing in Drupal. (09:19:49 PM) Augustine: So, i'll be a full time Linux user...Development seems easier in Ubuntu. For some strange reason. (09:20:15 PM) trinikrono: because it is (09:20:38 PM) trinikrono: use dvorak too Augustine (09:21:02 PM) Minenorin: blahhh kobaka :P (09:21:02 PM) allan_: I use it for Joomla easier that win (09:21:18 PM) Minenorin: yeah i agree development is easier (09:21:28 PM) reavengrey: So we have loose syllabud (09:21:30 PM) Minenorin: its easy on the hands!

(09:21:52 PM) reavengrey: seems legit (09:22:11 PM) Augustine: Once we offer benefits, we'll win. (09:22:22 PM) Minenorin: I like the freedom it give me with customizing the interface (09:22:24 PM) reavengrey: When are classes? iirc allan has offered time during weekdays (?) (09:22:33 PM) Minenorin: gives* (09:22:33 PM) allan_: we need to do a proper intro and benefits and a free install? (09:22:41 PM) Augustine: That can work, Allan. (09:23:00 PM) trinikrono: Augustine: will you come down (09:23:01 PM) Augustine: We need to show them, that the basic tasks are available in the stock install. (09:23:05 PM) Augustine: Sure.
