Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Organizational meeting proposed (Mike
It appears that my original suggested time of 12:00 or 13:00 UTC for a start time will fit pretty much eveyone in terms of time zones. How is everyone feel about a Saturday meeting? Do we want to do this NEXT Saturday the 7th or Saturay the 14th? -- Peace! John You do have choice on what operating system you use: http://www.ubuntu.com/ I am an Ubuntu user!

Well, according to the Meetings page [1] that wouldn't be convenient to most people Though, I don't know if that list is active.

[ubuntu-marketing] Ubuntu marketing?
Hello all, I'm now to this list. Just joined it after having done some help for a recent ubuntu release party where the marketing component was kind of not too bad but still with a potential to improve. That's why I started searching for information on ubuntu marketing and I hope I'm at the right place. To be honest, I'm kind of astonished that there is not more information about ubuntu or canonical's marketing strategy. I guess that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam should be the central place for information on that subject. Right? But already here it starts: Goal no 1: Increase market share. ... ... And then, some lines further down: Our target market is the existing Ubuntu Community, and LoCo's and Ubuntu-Team's to start with. This looks somehow strange to me. I want to say: how will it be possible to increase market share if the target market consist of those who already use Ubuntu? I don't want to devaluate your work, but is there any more precise marketing strategy than what is written on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam Thanks in advance for any complementary information Simon (interested in helping out) -- --- Simon Schneebeli 078 619 31 18 --- -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Ubuntu marketing?
Actually, since this release party last month, I have the idea in my head to write something like a guide on how to organise a perfect release party. Instead of reinventing anything from scratch I thought I'd first look on what's going. I don't want to digg into this organisational problem and I'm not sure whether I have enought time to read all of your e-mail exchange. I just need some up do date information on the ubuntu marketing strategy. Is there any webpage or document that contains anything usable?

That's a large part of what the meeting will determine. Things are very much in flux right now.

How about 20:00 UTC on a saturday?
