Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Claros VoIP Teleserver: An Ubuntu-based PBX
On Fri, 3 Nov 2006, Dan Ros wrote: Hello Dan, We are mainly longtime Debian users but became converts to Ubuntu around the time of Hoary Hedgehog and use Dapper Drake (server) on our embedded solid-state PBX devices as well as the conventional server based versions. Yes, I sure that we'd certainly like to do something with you. I think the most interesting angle to take regarding your PBX, is about what value-add has drawn you to make the step from Ubuntu, across to Debian. Perhaps you could highlight what makes Debian/Ubuntu to be such a good building-block to start from for your solution. If you're also deployed the embedded product within any organisations; could you talk about how using Ubuntu indirectly (and perhaps not even knowing it!) has saved the entity money or improved their business. Perhaps for balance you could also discuss what parts of Ubuntu have _not_ worked well as those are also signs of places for improvement. Any intriguing photographs would be interesting aswell! It's good to hear about product! -Paul -- High on a tall bridge, surrounded by noisy lorries.

(a) This should be appealable. (b) System 76 might be willing to help with that---it'd be worth asking them if nothing comes from talking to the customs people. But, more on-topic, it would be great if we could somehow have a list of what to do or not to do when sending/receiving internationally, to avoid such problems as much as possible. Providing a (genuine) estimate of the price of the good (eg. probably $10 in this case?) is a good start. Maybe Canonical (shipit) or some other people have some experience with this, and they can share that experience? The outside of the shipit boxes contain an introduction about the CDs and that they are to be given away (free promotional marketing materials) along with a small value per CD (0.13EUR). The text is similar to the customs introduction letter at: http://www.ubuntu.com/include/docs/ShipItGenericCustomsLetter.pdf -Paul -- High on a tall bridge, surrounded by noisy lorries.

Hello Vid,
Also, it might be interesting to discuss what The Fridge's purpose
should be and how it fits in with plans for Ubuntu Magazine.
How about using this platform to publish the Ubuntu-Abanta* Magazine.
This sounds like an excellent idea---I'm hoping to see as much content as
possible land up on El Fridge so that people know that it is the place to
look *first*.
BTW, I didn't know whether the name has been decided upon, but I think that
'Abanta' comes off the tongue really well and also in English hints at the
conversation ('banter') going on in the background.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] What would an Ubuntu poster campaign say?
On Mon, 10 Jul 2006, Chris Kenyon wrote: Greetings Chris, The campaign would seek to get both home and business users interested in Ubuntu. The ones that immediately come to mind as being close to the current style of marketing are: a) 'Think Different' - Apple b) 'United colors of' Benetton Both give the opportunity for simple slogans, backed by powerful and beautiful images and famous faces (there's already the Mandela video on the LiveCD...) 'Freedom' is the easiest point to sell in that style, but for other people the turn-on will be 'free (zero cost)', 'secure', 'virus free', 'with Firefox as standard', 'faster', 'every six months', for other people, the tagline is the amazing screensavers or the included wallpapers. -Paul -- High on a tall bridge, surrounded by noisy lorries.

These are great---and it's even better to know what's working for you and it's a shame to miss great stories like these two (on MP3 Splitting and getting your Scanner). So... I've taken your quotes and put them up as Testimonials: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testimonials/ZachC_Scanning http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testimonials/ZachC_MP3_Splitting http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CategoryTestimonial I think if links are kept to the original stories, the testimonials could do with some fairly extreme editing.
