Re: [ubuntu-marketing] full circle #7 - The Marketing Preview
Great issue! On Page 5, three of the articles use different font when quoting someone, but the gOS article doesn't have the font change.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Let People Know the Wireless Devices that Work with Ubuntu Could Help with Marketing
Also, on the wiki, there's https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported So, perhaps the more important question is, "How do we help users learn to check the help wiki for answers to their questions?" I'm not sure whether that's a documentation team question, a marketing team question, or even a desktop/usability team question.

In addition to those, if you haven't been sent there already, you
might want to look into Linux for Clinics
http://linuxforclinics.wiki.sourceforge.net/
They focus on packaging and distributing OSS medical software that has
reached 1.0 status on an Ubuntu LTS desktop. I think they're in Alpha
right now and won't be "production ready" until Hardy has gone gold.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Gutsy - complete feature list?
Correction, each testing page only notes changes from the most recent tribe, so you should look at all 5 tribe pages and add up the features. http://www.ubuntu.com/testing Also, I'd suggest looking at the Gnome 2.20 RoadMap, because all of those additions are being incorporated into Gutsy. http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap NurseGirl On 9/8/07, NurseGirl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Ronnie, > > Try http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/tribe5 > > > On 9/8/07, Ronnie Tucker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all! > > > > I'd like to put a feature in full circle #5 (for release at the end of > > September) listing the new features for Gutsy *buntu with screens, is > > there a page somewhere that gives a *definite* list of features?

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Ubuntu Marketing Videos
Hey! I'd suggest setting up a subdomain of viral.ubuntuvideo.com OR contest.ubuntuvideo.com or similar It would create natural cross-marketing opportunities with ubuntuvideo, while giving the viral videos team the ability to choose whether to use the ubuntuvideo setup or make your own.

[ubuntu-marketing] UWN Issue 22 comment
I just finished reading UWN 21-23 in one shot, because I'd been away. I hope I'm not stepping into a hot potato here, but... Can I suggest that when technical suggestions are made as "asides" in UWN, there should be a link to information explaining why the suggestion was made? The particular thing I'm thinking about here is the two comments about "Automatix" and "EasyUbuntu" in UWN Issue 22. I have no problem with reporting that automatic scripts are not safe, or that one script is safer than another, but shouldn't accurate reporting involve links to facts? I've heard those assertions made before, but a newbie shouldn't just have to trust the "authority" of UWN when choosing what tools to use. Instead, there should be an easy way for them to learn the technical details surrounding the tools. Anyhow, I love UWN, and am impressed by all the work that goes into it every week. Just a minor quibble. NurseGirl -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
