Christian, I'm volunteering my time to promote free software, not a business who bought blank CDs and pizza in exchange for their logo being placed on CD sleeves. Luckily, I don't think we have any *need* to accept donations which would require us to become providers of advertising space in exchange for them, so I don't see why we should. I hope this doesn't discourage your friend from attending!

Okay, I completely respect this position. By the way, Al is just a newbie who wants to give back, and who has a very small law practice. You know me, I wouldn't work for a big nasty law firm. We sue insurance companies. But I still completely respect your position, and so I am happy to drop the idea of logos on CDs at this event, and other forms of advertising, too. Also, I were planning on bringing liveCDs with Lucid installed on it, not blank CDs. I know that doesn't make a difference, and so I am happy to drop this topic. See you there, if not sooner (going to Maker Faire?), No, I have to work this weekend. :-/I have a big brief due. -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca

The regular Wed night Linux Discussion meeting last night was fun. Cool, sorry I don't usually make it to that; I should do more often. Maybe I'll see you at five minutes of fame in a couple hours from now? http://5mof.net/archive/2010/05/17/may-2010-schedule/ I've already forwarded this to the Berkeley LUG mail list and will be forwarding to other local lists as well. There are numerous groups that might be interested in participating or who's members might be interested in some hands on help. Thank you for specifying a start time of around 11:00. Any thoughts on a time which people should not arrive after? We should give ourselves some time to finish up and then join the team IRC meeting at 7:00 PM. I intend to stay at noisebridge until around 8:00 or 8:30 depending on how long the meeting runs. I'll stay that long as well, but perhaps we should specify a cutoff time on the wiki for starting on new installs... say, 5pm? Maybe some http://dutycycle.org/ folks can help out with some promotion or at least some recorded music to keep the tradition going from the last few releases. If we have some music files we might be able to put together a package hosted on launchpad.net that people can apt-get install. I know how to make this happen.

I've found that stressing that it's not only an installfest but also a troubleshooting session helps draw people in. Have an Ubuntu system that's installed but misbehaving? Bring that along too! Thank you for specifying a start time of around 11:00. Should volunteers arrive any earlier than 11? What kind of equipment will need to be set up? Is there anything else you need anyone to bring?

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Installfest @ Noisebridge on May 30
hi, Al Stoll, a lawyer that I am working with, recently visited the Creative Arts Charter School in San Francisco, where we have a Ubuntu network and a bunch of Ubuntu stand-alone clients that one of the teachers is using to edit video. Al was really impressed with the contributions that FOSS is making to the school, and he wants to support FOSS. Al is still really very much a newbie in the community, and he knows that I am active in the FOSS community, and so he is asking me for ideas about how he could support things like installfests, such as maybe by buying pizza and maybe giving out liveCDs. So if it is okay with you folks, maybe we could help out a little bit with burning liveCDs and maybe pizza for the May 30 installfest? I have not specifically asked Al about this actual event, because I am just reading this thread now for the first time. I will run it by him, and see if he would like to help out. I am assuming that it would be helpful to get pizza for this installfest, right? And I am assuming that if we were to provide you with some liveCDs with Lucid, that would be helpful? Could we put Al's logo and contact info onto the CDs and the sleeves? I am sort of trying to bring together my life as a lawyer and my life as a FOSS advocate. I am going to be installing Lucid on one of Al's old notebook computers for his family to experiment with. Al is currently Windows dependent, as are 99% of trial lawyers, but he is interested in experimenting with GNU-Linux. Grant, do you have a link to the sleeves that you print out for Ubuntu? If this works out, maybe we can provide you with liveCDs so that you don't have to spend money on the CDs and the sleeves etc, if we could put Al's logo and contact info on it. Thanks either way for considering my request! -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca

Wow, what a generous offer! I don't know about the logistics of pizza at Noisebridge (I'll let someone else speak up about that) but especially since this is an LTS release having some CDs made up would be super helpful and useful even beyond this 6 month time frame. Could we put Al's logo and contact info onto the CDs and the sleeves? I'd support this. Grant, do you have a link to the sleeves that you print out for Ubuntu?

Great, once you have them if you want to email me the logo and contact info I'll download the SVG for the sleeves and either try to do this myself or find someone who can.

I thought about doing branded sponsorship on CD sleeves for a friend's business who wanted to sponsor distribution of CDs but found http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy and interpret it to read in several locations [1] that a commercial sponsorship/name/address/etc on a LoCo produced CD sleeve would not be allowed if brought forward to the appropriate places for review.

This has nothing to do with a company sponsoring production of materials for distribution, they aren't claiming any official stance with regard to Ubuntu itself (our t-shirts have visible tags with the manufacturer on them too, this is fine, teams do it all the time).
