Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Please use Ubuntu Stickers

2010-02-13 Thread Jason Arkell

I do believe on the Ubuntu main page Canonical Store under accessories there 
are sticker packs with those types of stickers. This link should take you 
there. Have fun !!! Put them everywhere legal :)

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Creating Viral Videos - Who's interested? (Jason)

2010-02-08 Thread Jason
Paul from what I understand and I sort of summarise what others have said...
What the Windows 7 advertisments are trying to communicate by saying "I'm a
PC and Windows 7 was my Idea" is that the developers of windows actually
listen to their end users.It puts power in the users hands by saying "I did
it". Windows 7 users start to feel that they are an important part of the
brand and the software development process and on some psychological level
own the software :)... Most large companies will go to great extents to find
out what their customers want. By creating this environment of "we are
listening" and "its all about you" they win people's hearts and generate a
healthy feedback mechanise where the end users tell the developer the sort
of features they want to see :)...  This is great market research for the
devloper And the amazing feeling of contributing to something is what
keeps users loyal to the brand. Very much like what open source software
does... Just my 20cents worth hehehe...

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] ubuntu-marketing Digest, Vol 47, Issue 1

2009-11-02 Thread Jason Cruickshank
I believe the most important piece is simply getting materials  
prepared for use by the loco's.  We need some professional looking PDF  
posters that can be printed and posted by users to encourage usage.   
Things like a 30 second video ad would also be helpful for some of the  
bigger loco's looking to do some web or tv advertising.  We need to  
have these materials prepared and then the loco's and the users can  
look at funding the ad properties and distributing the materials.

[ubuntu-marketing] follow up regarding help with the magazine

Hmm I am not sure what happened to my previous post regarding my offer to
help with the magazine. No one said anything. It is still available. A
simple yes or no will be great. Thanks a million.

Perhaps Greg and Martin can show us what they are talking about as an
example somewhere. That way there is a team of editors and there is another
team that provides ideas on innovative ways to speed processes by using
technology.

As for the Google Docs issue.. I actually use Google Docs quite a lot
to collaborate with members from AIESEC Monash... You can invite people to
make changes to the document as collaborators, viewers and practically
anyone if they have access to a special link that the document generates via

[ubuntu-marketing] Countdown Script

2008-06-05 Thread Jason Corfman
I was just noticing that the countdown script that I put on my site to 
countdown to Ubuntu 8.04 says "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Coming Soon." I don't 
know who is in charge of the countdown script, but initially after the 
Hardy release the script said that Ubuntu 8.04 "is here", so I left it 
on my site as an advertisement for Ubuntu.

I removed it from my site for the time being, but I thought someone 
might want to take a look at that and fix it, assuming someone within 
the marketing committee is in charge of that.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] IdeaStorm Ideas

2007-12-04 Thread Jason M Normand
Not sure Gobuntu will work for dell.  I would suspect existing contracts 
with suppliers may limit their ability to use fully open source 
drivers.  Throw in the r&d costs for relyability, and a system that 
likely wont see much of any market penetration and i wouldnt hold your 
breath.  Same problem goes for their printers and other hardware.

Hopefully they are using their clout to push on manufacturers but 
ultimately all open drivers are not very realistic in the near future.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Marketing Team Meeting Summary

2006-06-29 Thread Jason Macklin

Hello to everyone,

I'm new to both Ubuntu and the Marketing Team so maybe my insight to
this issue is incomplete.  I've been using various flavors of linux
for about 6 to 7 years now.  As my job has changed so has my knowledge
of linux and unix.

I discovered Ubuntu about a year ago and really fell for it enough
that I wanted to play a larger part in "spreading the word."  Because
my activism in the open source community is non-existent I wanted to
ease into the process as a sort of spectator.  All of these emails
back and forth seem to want to thwart that idea.  Have you all
forgotten what it was like to be new to something as special as
ubuntu?  Or were all of you weened on linux?

Don't invoke some method to remove people.  In the end it will only
prove to be counter-productive.  Why take the chance of alienating
someone that could do great things for the community in the future?

I realize that my usage of the term "all" is not fair.  Not everyone
is sold on this idea.  But this is most certainly a turn down the
wrong road.  Community is supposed to be accepting and helpful.  You
shouldn't be thinking of ways to thin the list, but rather ways to
further insight members to become more active.

If this sort of thinking continues I will certainly be less inclined
to participate and would even consider letting my account lapse so
that I wouldn't need to go through the trouble of disassociating
myself from this effort.

Regards,
Jason Macklin

I'm sure we can thrash something out each week on the list or the
wiki. I noticed that, in #ubuntu-meeting before the marketing meeting,
someone looked at the day's schedule and said, "Marketing team? New to
me!" or similar. Extra exposure in UWN will help greatly.

[ubuntu-marketing] Speakers willing to help with the assembly interview that use ubuntu...

2006-06-20 Thread Jason Brower
Would those people that will be speaking about ubuntu or hold a booth or
any of that sort be willing to speak at a school seminar in September.
I have the Loco Team member for finland speaking for ubuntu just a
little but.  But I hope to get higher representation and greater help
with a booth about ubuntu.
Anyone... Anyone..

[ubuntu-marketing] Booth, Flyers, Speakers, Sponsors requested for September...

2006-05-30 Thread Jason Brower
If you haven't heard all ready I am organizing a huge (up to 300 people)
at Helia University of Applied Science in Helsinki on Free software day,
September 15th this year.

##To give you and update...
I still don't have a speaker for Ubuntu(except for me)
I am begging for a representative or someone in the area of Helsinki to
speak to an English audience of students and teachers about Ubuntu
linux.

##BOOTH me up!
I am also having booth area available for use from companies that I
choose.  Ubuntu is on the top of this list.  If there is some booth or
someone who would like to help with this please email me.

##Paper work... the good kind...
I am gathering paperwork about linux and free software.  In addition I
have 95 Ubuntu CD's and plan to get some more to pass around to anyone
at Helia for the week of September 15th.  I would like some posters,
fliers, or other items that would help with the event.  Heck, if Mr.
Shuttleworth is willing to sponsor all this go for it!  The event is
free for students and we are encouraging all students and teachers to
come.

##Clothing...
I don't have any good clothes for the event(besides a shirt and tie)...
care to lend a shirt, cap, bag, or other what not?  I am low on cash and
purchasing clothes in Finland is far to expensive!

All dates are now very solid, unless I get sponsor ship from Ubuntu and
they ask me to change things. :)  But speaking time and other items are
all still very flexible.  The school staff are excited about the event
as they have never had something like this come from a student.

Anyone willing to help may contact me in any of the ways mentioned
below.
And by the way, 60% of my class are from Africa!
Once again, thank you everyone...

[ubuntu-marketing] Another speaker up to bat, and do we have a take on a booth?

2006-05-05 Thread Jason Brower
FANTASTIC!
Do you work for a company that uses linux?
We need more speakers...
Place:  Helia University auditorium www.helia.fi
Date:   15 or 16 of September (International Free Software Day)

Things are still getting finalized on the date.  But that's my goal.
Not only do we need speakers, but I want to get an Ubuntu booth.  That
would help a lot too.
Thanks, use any of my contacts below and I can keep you updated on
further details.

[ubuntu-marketing] Speakers for upcomming seminar... New information...

2006-04-30 Thread Jason Brower
If you has seen my previous post, I am looking for speakers to talk
about neat and upcomming features in ubuntu that make it a great OS.
In addition to speakers I am now looking for the following:
Volunteers to help pass out pamphlets and cd.
Pamphlets and CD to pass out, or information on how to get these cd's
and pamphlets in a bulk package.
People willing to attend to help out at all.

Once again this event will be a free event for the students of helia,
speakers, and my personal invitations.
If you would like to come give me an email and we can make arrangements.

Currently we have 4 speakers and the date is hopefully going to be set
for around september 15th.  Free Software Day (w00t!)
The speakers are:
Matti Ihalmo : Security using linux embeded technology
Ulf Buskof:  Linux and opensource programming at his workplace
Jason Brower:   The linux Desktop and it's future (Why doesn't it run more
like windows...)
Tero Karvinen:  What is Open Source/Linux and GPL

I hope to get a few more people... anyone willing?  
IF so... email me and what you would like to talk about.
And as always, Mark you are more than invited.

[ubuntu-marketing] Seminar in Finland... and Mark is invited too...

2006-04-28 Thread Jason Brower
So sorry, The seminar is going to be held at Helia University.
www.helia.fi.  It is located near pasila station in Helsinki.  Just of
the platform at pasila.  If you need any more details give me an email.
If you can't talk at the seminar I would love it if people came to help
with passing out fliers and cd before during and after the
presentations.
Thanks to all those helping! :)

Is there anyone in Finland willing to give a short presentation on linux
and some neat things that can be done with linux.  I am going to be
demoing some of the 3d effects found in the new glx platform.  We have
the linux teacher giving a short explaination of what linux is and what
a gpl is.
But I want a greater focus on Ubuntu.  Is there a rep that can come to
present to a beginners group the power of ubuntu/linux and encourge
students to be a part of Ubuntu and join the linux community.Any takers?
Give me a personal email and we can get in contact.  We need both
english and finnish speakers. But both are not required.
Thanks for the help
