Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Non-javascript Countdown Image
Many thanks to those that have helped from the Web Presence team & the California team. A solution has been provided that will work with our beloved wiki as well as facebook. Stas Sușcov's semi-official application was announced http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/ubuntu-countdown-banner-for-your.html and is deployed so that these links will work for wiki pages that want to display the last days of our countdown: http://ubuntucountdown.appspot.com/one.png http://ubuntucountdown.appspot.com/two.png http://ubuntucountdown.appspot.com/three.png With best regards, Grant Bowman https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 2:41 AM, Grant Bowman wrote: > The same image problem is in place for this cycle.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Non-javascript Countdown Image
The same image problem is in place for this cycle. We have one of our team working on a similar scripted solution.

[ubuntu-marketing] Invalid Calendars
I tried using the Google calendars on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Meetings but they didn't work. Am I missing something?

I've done some checking. Background: In the US there are specialist wire services specializing in just press releases, specifically PR Newswire and Business Wire. One can pay to get a press release sent on these. However distribution doesn't mean that stories are "picked up". Media organizations may publish/run it or they might cut it up and run only a portion. There are also specialized wire services for feature stories: AP, UPI and Reuters. These have content written by newspaper reporters and journalists who work for those news wire organizations. It is more difficult to get something sent across these wire services as there is little direct control but I think most of these journalists have access to the press release wires. Impact: I feel distributing the press releases in the US is an important step in reaching all US (perhaps wider) press outlets and raising Ubuntu's exposure. More than Red Hat or SuSE Enterprise Linux is being used in the US though it's hard for average journalists to tell if only Red Hat, Fedora & Novell are sending press releases. The cost to distribute a press release via the PR Newswire or Business Wire is a few hundred dollars per press release depending on exactly how it's distributed. Surely the impact of this could be widely leveraged by all LoCos in the US and beyond. Are there any further thoughts on how to make this happen for Karmic? -- -- Grant Bowman -- California LoCo -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

[ubuntu-marketing] July's OSCON Presence in San Jose
Greetings, The California LoCo Team has been discussing our presence for the OSCON [1] event in July. We have decided in our May 3rd IRC meeting [2] and on our mailing list [3] to submit our URL, Logo and 50 word description representing the Ubuntu Community. I believe several of us will also be attending Jono's Community Leadership Summit. [4] What will be Canonical's OSCON presence? In what ways can we coordinate our efforts?
