Matthew, I agree with what you are saying. I suppose what these other ideas and initiatives are, is an addition to the current core communication methods, not a replacement. I agree that the consistency should be there across the board for all forms of communication for each LoCo, but I do see room for improvement in the areas of enhancing the avenues of drawing more people in through these other "forward thought" mentioned concepts.
I just want people to see Linux and specifically "Ubuntu" as the "Mac book air" of computing for people who want to be freed in their computing experiences. One way to capture that is through video content, commercials, ads, and other forms of catchy marketing. All in all, that is how I see these ideas being implemented, as more as a marketing tool, rather than a LoCo communication replacement.
