Worth looking into (and hopefully banning them), but looks like the only admin listed is a defunct address (nali isn't an Ubuntu member anymore, so this @ubuntu address won't work). I've reached out to Canonical IS to see about adding some more admins. -- Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph || Lyz || pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- 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 for School

If I can do that, plus convince the administration that we would save costs etc., I think they would consider trying it out, or even switching over entirely. Can you guys help me with this (especially the convincing the IT staff part) ? How exciting! I'm currently volunteering at a non-profit that deploys Ubuntu in schools and Canonical has been working on some marketing materials they'll be releasing soon on the same subject. I'd suggest you hop on the ubuntu-education list where we swap tips about our deployments. It's kinda a quiet list sometimes, but emails are always welcome!

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] This List Still alive?
the Ubuntu community to go to the school boards and other institutions to introduce Ubuntu as they tend not to take a couple guys off the street too seriously. Are there any 'official' reports on how much a school could save each year by going open source? A quick note here: Ubuntu is primarily a meritocracy, people of authority are simply those who stand up and Get Things Done, and most of us are unpaid volunteers :) Charles Profitt of the New York LoCo is one of these volunteers who works in education has really spearheaded the education focus within the community and has worked with Belinda Lopez on the Ubuntu Educators project (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Educators - I've Cced the mailing list on this reply) and attends Educational conferences to promote open source. Here's the wiki page for one of the conferences he attended, along with slides: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewYorkTeam/Events/20100325 which has slides to a presentation he did, on slide 24 he discusses costs as he sees them for using open source rather than proprietary. He also has other presentations that I can't put my finger on at the moment. We should work with him to get these slides shared more widely, it took me a few minutes to dig them up. Belinda also recently blogged about her attendance at an educational conference: http://ubuntugirl.livejournal.com/21574.html Is there a fund that people can donate for the purpose of marketing? I would certain donate. Currently the best way to do this is by acting locally. Contact your local team and see what they need help with, printing fliers for conferences, buying more CDs. The trouble with a centralized marketing fund is that the money would need to be managed. Currently Canonical is a completely separate entity from the Ubuntu Community when it comes to marketing, so it would fall upon the community to handle money, taxes, etc. This quickly gets complicated and expensive, especially for an international community. The product could be the best thing since sliced bread but if no one knows about it, what good is it? The fund could be used for getting billboards in huge cities around the world, ads in magazines, a blimp, whatever. A central ad campaign would probably be good as well. I know there were attempts at a copy of the Apple commercials (or at least that's what I remember) but I never heard anything more about it. Major marketing campaigns have been discussed but the budget for them is non-existent. The store should also probably offer more products and maybe attempt to sell them to large retail chains to resell. The computer bags, shirts, mice, mouse pads... I would buy them from a Walmart or whatever store around here. That might be a little difficult though considering Walmart dropped Ubuntu (they did didn't they?). This is not something the Ubuntu marketing team can influence. Canonical runs the store and holds the trademarks, so it would have to be discussed directly with them. Hope this helps. -- Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
