Final push for Ubuntu @ Anime Boston

Thanks to all of you who've made tax-deductible donations so far. We're so close! We still need help to reach and, better yet, push past our fundraising goal. This is the most important time for this project as our deadline is almost upon us. We have a lot we're excited to announce once we finish fundraising, so stay tuned and thank you so much for your generous contributions.

We have a first draft of one side of our tri-fold flyer by Martin Owens and we'd love to hear what you think of it! We want to do the best we can to showcase Ubuntu and promote free culture, software, and content, to people who might not understand the benefits of being able to edit code when they're not coders.

Lastly, we're in need of a couple more volunteers who would like to help us out at the booth. If you're interested, please get in touch.

  1. That flyer really is not addressing your regular anime fan. Specially if the decide to take the CD home and try it they will be disappointed if they are not patient enough. Maybe you guys should make a simple flyer for your CDs and make some recommendations

    For watching anime: Instruct how to install vlc, mplayer, restricted extras, medibuntu, additional gstreamer codecs and if they have an nvidia card that supports VDPAU to get hardware acceleration and beta drivers for their card.

    For torrents: maybe a small guide on what torrent app to get ( deluge maybe ) and how to run a torrent box with their 24/7 on computer if they want to be fancy.

    Eye candy: anime watchers LOVE eye candy, I would suppose they'd like compiz a lot, maybe a sentence or two on how to get wobbly windows.

    Browsers: Definitely knowing that their trusty browsers: FireFox, Chrome and Opera are all available on linux would impact their decisions whether to try Ubuntu or not.

    tl;dr I'm concerned that people will pop the CD in, see it doesn't open their anime, pop it out and leave it at that.

  2. Que flyer realmente não está se dirigindo seu fã de anime regular. Principalmente se a decidir levar o CD para casa e tentar que eles vão ficar desapontados se não estiver doente suficiente. Talvez vocês devem fazer um panfleto simples para os seus CDs e fazer algumas recomendações

    Para assistir anime: Instruir como instalar o vlc, mplayer, extras restrito, medibuntu, codecs gstreamer adicionais e se tiver uma placa Nvidia que suporta VDPAU para obter a aceleração de hardware e drivers beta para o seu cartão.

    Para torrents: talvez um pequeno guia sobre o app torrent para começar (dilúvio talvez) e como executar uma caixa de torrent com os seus 24 / 7 no computador, se quiserem ser fantasia.

    Eye Candy: observadores anime LOVE olhos doces, eu suponho que eles gostariam compiz muito, talvez uma frase ou duas sobre como obter janelas trémulas.

    Navegadores: Definitivamente, sabendo que seus navegadores fiel: Firefox, Chrome e Opera estão disponíveis no linux seria o impacto se as suas decisões para tentar o Ubuntu ou não.

    tl; dr eu estou preocupado que as pessoas vão pop do CD, veja se não abrir o seu anime, pop-la e deixar por isso mesmo.

  5. Found your communication dynamics very valuable. I'm currently teaching two introductory college classes. Each one has half the students using blogs, the other half using wiki's. So far, I think the wiki's are more helpful for the students. But I didn't know about the aggregator application. That would certainly help me to monitor what the students are writing, and I think that it would make the experience more lattice-like for students because it would make it easier for them to monitor each other's postings

  12. There are actually plenty of particulars like that to take into consideration. That may be a nice point to convey up. I provide the ideas above as common inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where an important thing can be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged round things like that, however I am positive that your job is clearly identified as a good game. Each boys and girls really feel the affect of just a second’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.

  28. How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen
    that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn
    whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of
    the hill? A kiss, and all was said. to find a boyfriend

  44. The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.
