[ubuntu-marketing] Whyubuntu.com : : Status Update?
Hello again, I am just trying to find out where you guys are regarding the whyubuntu.com project. I would like to find out people's progress so far. At this moment in time I have just secured myself a director i.e. a student doing Film & Media Studies. We're working out the fine details of the project over here as a contributor on this end. I would like to make a request however to Jacob; my friend would happily help the project however he is asking if he may use his work on his course portfolio & projects. Also it would be appreciated if it was possible for him to use the final videos too however he of course wouldn't be referenced as the author rather a contributor refering to the final project, especially the case of the "I Am Ubuntu" sub-project to show the examiner the community end-product and how his contribution can be used together to create something bigger. I'd also like to find out what you guys are up to if you are contributing? * Have you started planning and/or recording yet? * Have any of you thought of any more ideas? * How far is the webdesign looking? * Do we have a set structure now for the I am Ubuntu ad, i.e. "Hello my name is Chris and I am Ubuntu" or "Hello my name is Chris, I am a student and I use Ubuntu freely for my work." etc. Any furthers ideas/brainstorms?

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Hopeful News for a 2009 Advertising Campaign
Ronnie good ideas if you don't mind taking constructive criticism I have a few minor points: - Perhaps there could've been more dynamics/interactivity rather than just screenshots? - The video was a bit lengthy so it can feel to some users to drag on a little bit, perhaps a 30 sec video would've been more adequate for us attention spanless people? :) - Blurriness was unfortunate but not much that can be done if that was a side-effect of Google video? - No sound? D: Perhaps next time (if there is a next time) you could add some suitable music or perhaps a little voiceover? :) Other than those little points, the choice of images, applications, video skills were all superb! Its a good little starter vid to say the least and a pleasure to watch :).

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Hopeful News for a 2009 Advertising Campaign
It's 4:30am here and reading that had sparked me alive. That is a fantastic idea, especially to us Newtonian physicists out there! Videos, that really capture your attention and then conclude with a URL/logo/brandname force people to quesitons others, have you seen this advert? It was really cool wasn't it? Have you heard of Ubuntu (or whyubuntu.com) etc. It inspires thought & debate! Leaving an URL at the end, only makes me wanna go visit the site to find out more about Ubuntu after such advertisements. In short, Ronnie Tucker that is a genius plan to me. The only problem is if the video quality isn't up to spec, i.e. lags, distortion, bad theme etc but if pulled off right it sounds pretty damn good :D. To add at the end might I suggest, perhaps a bank of Microsoft dollar and then have something else (I can't think quite what yet) to show that one costs, one is free. Perhaps the Microsoft dollar is copyrighted but it would be a nice final addition to the advert/video clip. :D That's my tupence, Chris.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Hopeful News for a 2009 Advertising Campaign
Yeah I have a few friends doing media studies so perhaps they can enhance their portfolio and especially since they actually know how to record videos and stuff unlike myself! Perhaps saying "I lost a quarter of my weight" or something similar. Or, this was me before Linux *photo*, this was me after *photo* but for that we'd need a person who used to be quite large, and explaining the difference was with Windows & Linux instead of switching from McDonalds to salads. I am looking forward to Thursday to see if the site is ready :). On Sun, Jan 4, 2009 at 3:54 AM, Jacob F.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Hopeful News for a 2009 Advertising Campaign
Just to clarify, have you bought www.whyubuntu.com because it redirects to SourceGuru.net :S? Or has a domain squatter caught it? Luckily I start back at college this week so I'm thinking of perhaps recording I am Ubuntu in the college library surrounded by some books or something. I feel that we should note that Ubuntu has both many language support & customisability too. On a side note however, "I lost 75pounds", the United States is one of the few countries that actually measure in pounds. The UK measures for the most part in stone and the rest of Europe measuring in kilograms. When I hear more than 14 pounds being mentioned on the TV, there is just one word for it "cringe". It completely repels me from the object being advertised since they haven't considered that people outside of America will view that advert...

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Submission for "I am Ubuntu"
I expect that after the New Year, well a few days after the videos will be coming in, I don't wanna record a few videos with an hangover if the truth be told. I too need to make myself presentable and there is not much point this late at night since it's too dark to record an I'm Ubuntu ad, after I have got rid of this awful stubble I'll be sure to send a few in. I'm still planning where to record it if the truth be told, i.e. in my home, in the village etc. The joys of portable cameras can be their downfall too :). After we all sober up I think there's gonna be a few vids being sent in. I can't wait to see what they're like. Chris On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 9:20 PM, Jacob F.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Submission for "I am Ubuntu"
If you're interested on my debate with myself about which term I felt best to use I've settled with "Helo, fy enw i yw Chris a dw i'n Ubuntu" but to be honest I'll settle with the standard English format since it promotes uniformity rather than variations. On a side note however, I've been thinking ahead beyond individual clips now. I've been thinking should we watermark the first 5 seconds or so with something like "Recorded by the Ubuntu community" and should we have something that tells us what the heck Ubuntu is? We could have a 4person box all saying hello my name is x and I am Ubuntu, then following that we can have the 4 or so people telling us points about Ubuntu and it's philosophy. "Ubuntu is a free, more secure alternative to Windows" "Ubuntu is built on the foundation of humanity to others" I'm sure that the rest of you can elaborate the wording on that, as you can tell my language skills aren't too advanced when it comes to advertising but I have a general idea of what the scenarios should be like or theories at least.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Submission for "I am Ubuntu"
Then again I am Chris and I am Ubuntu can portray that my name is Ubuntu too. That's the problem with using other languages, although I speak both Welsh & English I find it hard to translate between the two :|. So unless I think what would be best to convey the message in this tongue then I believe that I'll be sticking with English since I barely see any Welsh advertisements, perhaps there's a reason for that in this language in comparisson to English. In my original mail however, I've addressed some issues on advertisement/sentence structure that I think should be addressed as well as the backdrop of the scenario & style of the person speaking. Should be a nerdy geek with glasses? Or should he be hip & trendy? Could he even be a farmer, builder etc? I'll leave that part up to the professionals I guess. Again with kind regards, Chris.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Submission for "I am Ubuntu"
In regards to my previous message, sorry any fellow Welsh speakers out there I mangled the language because I was in English 'mode'. What it should've really said now that I'm back to thinking in Welsh is something like "Helo, Chris ydw i ac Ubuntu ydw i". That is a lot shorter to say and makes more sense than what I would've previously put forward. It just sounds more normal than my previous message in my head and to other speakers. Also including helo as I forgot to introduce myself to the audience. Then again I guess that I am Chris and I am Ubuntu would've been sufficient. All non-Welsh speakers can ignore this message ;).

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Submission for "I am Ubuntu"
I have been actively thinking about how best to record a video myself for the project since Sunday. I've been thinking of what environment to set myself in when recording too. Since there are only 75,000 people that share my accent and just 2,500,000 people in my country I've been thinking that I really should represent my country-folk for Ubuntu. Recently thanks to winter, there's been some snow & frost around so I've been thinking should I set it in a snowy wonderland or should I wait until the environment is more normal for my area i.e. not as much snow? Then I've been thinking, where best to situate it. Should we have videos say in the garden, at work, at college/school, in the forest, near the river, by the rugby fields etc? Then I was thinking, should we go hip & cool like Apple, or should we have normal people in normal clothing just like Micro$oft's ad campaign? Also as recently suggested what about the wording? Should we restrict ourselves to just English as well? Should it be, Hello my name is Chris and I am Ubuntu. Or perhaps it could be "Chris ydy f'enw i a dwi'n Ubuntu"? Or perhaps Hi, I am Chris & I am a student that uses Ubuntu. Hi I am Chris, I come from Wales and I use Ubuntu. etc. We should underline what structure to use before we actually set out any further plans. Would using other languages on the other hand further enhance the Ubuntu (humanity) message? Also the ending of the video ad/collage/campaigns, what will the ending part be like?

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Radio Advertising
In answer to Bret's questions. 1) So far the audience is not as tech savvy as you or I however for the most part they are quite proficient in Windows XP/Vista thus making them the hardest group of computer users to Linuxify. I'm sure than many of them have heard of the term OSS but genuinely have no idea about what it means. 2) The first radio station in mind has quite literally said that the ads can be run at any time for any duration as long as normal programming is not disrupted, i.e. not playing 6 adverts an hour just because we can. 3) Regarding the official Canonical marketing department, obviously they will be involved as we are going to be using the Ubuntu name, however I'm pretty sure that they monitor this mailing list but thanks for the email nevertheless. Now what I have planned, is not yet a script but moreover a beta advert to see the effects and hopefully being able to gather some opinions from people who have listened to the advert. Admittedly, Microsoft adverts make me "cringe", a British term meaning churning in my stomach so I'm kinda hoping that these do not have the same effect as I'm afraid iPhone adverts do also to me. What I have envisioned is; a simple short advert, or short series of adverts detailing some benefits of Ubuntu over Vista, including what Ubuntu means perhaps at the end of each advert. Perhaps including separate adverts or a combined advert on the speed differences, additional security, lack of crashes/blue screens of death etc. Admittedly this is beginning to sound like a Mac advert but I guess in a way, the principles are the same. I'm kinda excited about this though as I have never realised radio marketing as a way to appeal to the masses and yet now it seems so obvious! Of course I cannot stress this enough but when this gets drafted or completed, we should be able to provide transcripts, fading sounds, intro sounds etc that the original English advert had for other languages such as Dutch, French, German or even Welsh (my native language) so all that would be required is to change the ogg/mp3 where the voice-over of the advert was. When I get back this evening (6pm GMT) I'll probably write up some drafts and forward it to the mailing list, take some constructive criticism and then improve and follow that process until I get something uncriticisable!

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Radio Advertising
Absolutely! Ubuntu podcasters already have the skills for the job. Of course if/when we get the ad written up, I think that we should make a post in our locale mailing lists, for example Ubuntu-UK, with copies of a transcript and seperate mp3/ogg files that can be combined to make the final piece, allowing room for translations or indeed accent differences with the US. And then hopefully, it'll be a viral ad on many people's internet and even local radio stations. I intend on contacting one and see if in my area they have lower rates for non-profit radio adverts and then hold a fund-raiser for my local Linux user group to cover it. But before we get carried away, I'm going to spend this week working on drafts and I would be eternally grateful if you have an idea and post it even if your email just contains the words "I'm a PC, I'm a Mac". No, I am not intending for it to be in that style but if you said that I'd get the picture asap. I'll be posting for some volunteer jobs if anyone's interested however.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Radio Advertising
I've spoken to the station owner, they have two servers on which they broadcast the radio on. They've said as Ubuntu is a non-profit organisation they have no problem advertising it for free and we can have any length advertisement slot. I'm now in the progress of explaining Ubuntu and OSS. I need to contact another person to get the demographics but they have said that there are roughly 500 people always tuned in with of course peaks at certain times of the night and day.

[ubuntu-marketing] Radio Advertising
Hello, I am searching for some advice on radio advertising for Ubuntu-Marketing. I have found out that I can get a free radio slot on a community radio station so I am trying to make the most of it. The community has roughly 48,000 members and I'd hope that 10% listen to the radio daily so that gives me room for about 4800 to listen to the adverts. I am searching for a pre-composed radio advert for Ubuntu; if this is not possible or simply doesn't exist yet then I am willing to try and co-ordinate an attempt to setup a recording myself. If you are able to help out, whether it be with an existing advert or perhaps with voiceovers or help with the radio advert script or even sound editting I'd be fully greatful. Hopefully if it gets done, we can release it under the GPL 2 licence or other for other Ubuntu users to freely use on their respective sites/stations. If you have any ideas, please mail them back to me (and the rest of the list). No matter how silly it sounds ;-). I hope that we can set off and really make this work.
