[ubuntu-marketing] Marketing Resources
Something to think about, when setting up a site for marketing resources, is the physical size of those resources in kilobytes. As a draftsman that had to do everything, I learned that resolution, whether of graphics or of documents, matters. What is called printer quality resolution is 300 to 600 dots per inch (DPI). This can result in very large files, and if Marketing is going to have resources available, will result in the need of considerable space to store them. At the moment, I'm looking at the attachments portion of the Forums. The last 2 columns have been deleted, since here I'm just discussing the physical size: *bmp* 19.5 KB *bz2* 976.6 KB *deb* 976.6 KB *doc* 195.3 KB *gif* 976.6 KB *gpl* 976.6 KB *gz* 976.6 KB *jpe* 19.5 KB *jpeg* 19.5 KB *jpg* 976.6 KB *odg* 19.5 KB *odp* 19.5 KB *ods* 19.5 KB *odt* 19.5 KB *pdf* 19.5 KB *png* 976.6 KB *psd* 19.5 KB *py* 19.5 KB *sh* 19.5 KB *svg* 976.6 KB *tar* 976.6 KB *txt* 19.5 KB *xcf* 976.6 KB *zip* 976.6 KB Now, I have an odt file that the Arizona LoCo is using for a flier for the Hardy Heron release. The size is 146.8 KB. Obviously, I can't put that up on the forum for other people to edit, since odt format is restricted to 19.5 KB. Yet that's exactly what we need to be able to do. As a matter of fact, when I released it to the Team, I had to release it as a graphic, a jpg file (http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=64598d=1207088622). Even acceptable pdf format size is way to small for use for submission, and that isn't even editable. We need to be able to use editable formats and submit them as such, for others to be able to manipulate for their needs. Submitting as a graphic doesn't cut it, where text is involved. Alignments and special effects that can be done in OpenOffice.org are unavailable in GIMP, etc. This may preclude using the forums as our means of sharing, and require some other method. I don't happen to have a good answer to this problem, nor am I limiting my ideas to only that which I can conceive. What I'm hoping is that others in Marketing might have suggestions that would solve the problem.

[ubuntu-marketing] Ubuntu presentations for hardy Release parties/FLISOL
Hello everyone! We are planning to update our presentation of ubuntu and its community in Ecuador. For now i am collecting what i find interesting in a presentation page. I think it is about time we have exdclusive presentations for the Server and Edubuntu (one each) geared towards highly likely adopters og the software. Now I have been looking for this, but have not been able to find much stuff in a comprehensive way. The new release highlights lots of new features (virtualization, better support for ebox, SELinux integrated, better AD integration) and many of which are on the server besides the other maravellous things we already have there. People is begging for it and the release of hardy should be that last push towards the creation/organization of these resources. Now, for the Latinamerican community, we need to translate and/or create this resources on time for use under the FLISOL so we can have these ready (translated and with the respective LoCo info) by the time the event happens (just over 2 weeks - Así que pongamonos las pilas ya!) So I propose a starting point for the general effort here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Presentations/WIP And for the FLISOL Presentations: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EcuadorTeam/MaterialPOP/Presentaciones or http://flisol.info/FLISOL2008/Presentaciones Let's get Hardy out the doors and presented as the best release to date!

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Marketing Resources
IT might be possible to have a document hosting site specifically for the marketing materials, in which a moderator has to look at posts, instead of them just being posted, someone can then link to a page of the document site from the fourms. It might also be good to have a simple listing. I know the cms XOOPS has a file managment module, though we can probably get a php/ruby/whatever else programmer to make a custom one that looks relativey good, though i do remember a marketing site that had something of the sort already.

Why not use the wiki?
