Hi, I am interested if we can be a bit more ambitious about it.
For example, if we keep using the word Linux in our communication, we
will keep scaring away the same 90 to 95% of potential users; the
non-technical ones.
We should use Lubuntu or Ubuntu or some other catchy brand that mentions
nothing about Linux.
Google avoids the word Linux in both Android and its Chrome laptops and
they have a few million times the resources we have. So if they cannot
make the brand Linux sound user friendly, I do not think we should waste
time and energy trying to do so. After all, we are trying to get people
some fredom, not compete with the power of mass media head-on.
Just a suggestion,
Fernando

Hi,
I thought everyone would be interested but I must say, I'm so surprised
that only few are interested.
Anyway, I have updated this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartLubuntu
Added Phase 6
and List of members.
Phase 6 will explain how this project is important and it is not only for
Lubuntu, it is for the whole family of Ubuntu :)
After all, if Windows XP Users won't like Lubuntu, there are Ubuntu,
Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu Studio, Edubuntu, and if someone is
Chines, there is: UbuntuKylin :)
Everything is explained here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartLubuntu
The banner at the top is a summary of what is this all about.
Again, Phase 6 of this project is discussing the need to use the whole list
of Ubuntu Official Variants.
Why then I did start or pick Lubuntu? because I think most or at least 40%
of Windows XP Users have old machines. Perhaps even more than 40% of them
because usually, modern machines are shipped with Windows 7 and/or Windows
8 :)
Thank you!
