[ubuntu-marketing] From the ground.
Hi All, I do not like to make a fuss, so I will keep this brief. I am unsubscribing from this list. I have been a subscriber for more than a year, but the recent noise and almost troll like behaviour [intentional or not] has worn a little too thin for my tastes. IMHO, I think some of the more vocal amongst us would do well to familiarise themselves with some basic mailing list etiquette/netiquette, else fear losing more subscribers. Anyhow, I wish everyone luck with their marketing endeavours.

Your comments about a forum being erb-based and static which I think you meant as criticisms are what I consider the strenfths of a forum. Surely it would only be classed as supplementary if it was used/read? A single channel is much easier to keep track of. Also, as Onno points out, the form of communication is effectively the same, the written word. Whether or not it is delivered via list software or forum software is for the large part irrelevant, except mailing lists, _as I perceive them_, have a slightly greater barrier to entry, which, IMHO, is not necessarily always a bad thing. In my limited experience, I have found that the average mailing list thread has a tendency to be of more importance and contains a greater signal to noise ratio over the average web based forum thread. -- /me says as I increase the noise :D Philip -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

[ubuntu-marketing] Ubuntu Christmas Marketing Campaign
Hi, I've had an idea for a Christmas marketing campaign to replace last month's Countdown to Gutsy. I've blogged about it here: http://crunchbang.org/archives/2007/11/08/a-merry-ubuntu-christmas/ I'd be interested to know what people think about this -- whether it's a good idea? etc. Also, if the campaign gets some support and starts to fly what are the chances of getting a dedicated landing page on the ubuntu.com domain?

[ubuntu-marketing] Status of the Spread Ubuntu Project?
Hello list, I'm interested in helping out with the Spread Ubuntu project. I spent the best part of yesterday afternoon reading about the project on the Wiki - however I failed to get a real understanding of where the project is at. From what I can gather it appears as if the project has fragmented and is suffering from scope creep. Is this a fair observation?
