07:33:03 TylerM: i'll try to have something to print today ajolma
07:33:07 ajolma: Tyler: did you mention when the brochures would be ...
07:33:19 TylerM: sorry, it's dragging so long
07:33:30 TylerM: will it help at all if you have them during the weekend?
07:33:45 ajolma: ok, I don't know how long it takes, but there's one week to go
07:33:57 TylerM: I can print here and ship but I think finding something locally will be quicker and easier.
07:34:06 TylerM: ( locally for you )
07:34:23 ajolma: Yeah, the brochures I'll print locally.
07:34:53 ajolma: If you can send me one or two copies of the annual report that would be good.
07:34:54 TylerM: Okay, great! I'll look at getting the reports to you too
07:35:17 TylerM: yes, no problem. can you send me your personal mailing address, probably home would be best.
07:35:34 ajolma: I let you know about the price of the brochures, so I can print extra perhaps
07:36:34 TylerM: Sounds good.. I was planning for an A4 landscape page folder in half - full colour. Can you find a print shop and get an estimate?
07:37:13 ajolma: I'll do that on Monday, now it's already late Friday
07:37:16 TylerM: there is a really rough draft ( not done at all ) here: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/brochures/two-side-overview/brochure_fold_2sided.pdf
07:37:20 TylerM: if you need it
07:37:47 TylerM: ajolma: okay, then I'll work on getting the reports mailed out ASAP and make sure you have an updated PDF for monday
07:37:56 TylerM: thanks so much!
07:38:17 TylerM: I have some stickers too! : )
07:38:28 ajolma: I sent you my adress just by email... bit bright green you have there
07:39:03 TylerM: yes, but it's designed more for printing and will look right
07:39:09 TylerM: i'll get samples made here to make sure
07:39:36 TylerM: it's using specific CMYK numbers that coordinate with the logo when put to press
07:39:53 ajolma: ok
07:40:09 TylerM: i've already improved it but haven't committed yet.
07:41:08 TylerM: thanks again, this is a big help
07:41:21 TylerM: got your address
07:41:39 ajolma: It's ok, I'm off for weekend now : )
08:28:39 : * TylerM heads to the post office...
13:55:17 CameronShorter: FrankW, TylerM, I'm just added Mark Leslie ( mleslie ) as a user to the osgeo blade server ( upload.osgeo.org ). Frank previously asked me to add details with chfn
13:55:30 CameronShorter: But It doesn't seem to work for me.
13:55:52 FrankW: "sudo chfn mleslie" doesn't work?
13:56:32 CameronShorter: sorry, works now.
13:57:07 CameronShorter: Do I need to associate mark's user ID with LDAP somehow, or is that automatic?
13:57:36 FrankW: no, and no.
13:57:51 FrankW: There will be no association of the account with ldap. It's just a local account.
13:58:10 CameronShorter: ok, so I will need to set Mark's password then?
13:58:29 FrankW: yes
13:58:50 CameronShorter: ok
14:42:50 TylerM: CameronShorter: sry, I'm not much help on the blade servers
14:42:58 TylerM: glad you got it figured
