Re: [ubuntu-marketing] CD Boxes
There is one here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing see under Supplementary Material under CD artwork However, that is probably not what you are looking for. Actually, it's pretty close to what I was looking for, except it seems to only hold about 5-10 CDs, where I was thinking more of 30-40. I'll take a look at the instructions, and see if I can fashion something a little bigger.

Those Novell videos and their RH equiv were done by professionals with budgets. That being said, a Firefox Flicks style contest might not be such a bad idea. Shall we bug the Firefox Flicks guys for the software they run? Corey I think that this is a terrific idea - once again stressing the aspects of community! -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Targeted email, phone, and face-to-face tactics
In response to the recent thread about marketing tactics for Community members, DIYMarketing, etc.: For the sake of other folks like me who have only recently joined up with the Community, what's the fastest and most effective way for an individual to get involved with the SpreadUbuntu project? It seems that Jenda's spec is pretty all-inclusive, and I'd love to see the site up and running. http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/SpreadUbuntu%20Structure%20Proposals/Spreadubuntu-060628-jenda.png I just know that I can't be the only Ubuntu newcomer who's been frustrated by the lack of a single entry point for volunteer marketing. Fishing around through the wiki, mailing list, forum, and IRC channel is just too cumbersome... I found the kitchen. Now where's the food? -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

Those Novell videos and their RH equiv were done by professionals with budgets. Agreed, but maybe there are some final year media or drama guys gals who just maybe like linux. It would be a good project for them, might ge t global coverage. The animation 'singing alien' (http://www.funlol.com/funpages/singing-alien.html) was a practice experiment and has become a famous standard too, for its author. If we like the idea, we may not need a big budget perhaps. That being said, a Firefox Flicks style contest might not be such a bad idea. Shall we bug the Firefox Flicks guys for the software they run? good idea I have heard through the grapvine that John Little of ubuntuvideo.com is coming back, after having been working on the election in the US. I suspect that ubuntuvideo is best place for this, so lets get John enthused when he returns to us.
