Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Sheffield University music department switching to Ubuntu Studio
Hi Chris, This is excellent to hear! I have forwarded your mail to the Ubuntu Studio Users' list, and I invite you to participate in the discussion that'll undoubtedly emerge there. I'm very pleased to see that Ubuntu Studio is gaining a larger audience, and this will be especially good in that it will increase general public exposure. I have been running Sibelius 4 through Wine for a while now, and whilst some drawing functions (like time signatures) do not work fully, the application is otherwise totally functional, or at least it is with version 0.9.57, with full MIDI I/O support. Moreover, I would like to point you to MuseScore[0], which aims to fill the niche that Sibelius fills in the proprietary world. Version 0.9.1d is available in gutsy-backports, though this demands you download a SoundFont separately (I recommend Fluid[1], the only Free GM/GS font I know of). mScore will be available by default in Ubuntu Studio Hardy, as will Fluid. It is still a bit buggy, but I have got some good usage out of it. Toby [0] http://mscore.sf.net [1] http://tsmithe.users.ubuntustudio.org/fluid.html Debian packages are available in Ubuntu Hardy and Debian unstable, and these should install cleanly on any Debian system, as all they do is install a couple of files to /usr/share/sounds/sf2.

Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a more complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. It is compatible with Ubuntu software repositories. The question then becomes one of how can we make K/Ubuntu more complete, 'out-of-the-box'. Well, I'm pretty sure Mint isn't legally distributable in many countries, and as far as I can recollect, the only improvements it makes to that experience are installing by default those illegal packages. As a reputable distributor, Ubuntu cannot include these packages, and the current situation is a pretty good compromise until everyone uses patent-free, open formats. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
[ubuntu-marketing] Regular people (was Re: Subject: Re: Selling Ubuntu to People)
On Tue, 2007-06-12 at 13:52 -0400, Mike Feravolo wrote: Good Day People: I don't know what Advocate means and I wouldn't even know how to spell it if there weren't spell checkers. I guess that's because I majored in Computer Science in college and not English. So I use small words to express my thoughts like sell, since that is what you have to do to get regular people to do something new. [I'm not going to put a warning about long e-mails, because people don't have to read this] Hmm, whilst you may be right, I'd still like to dispute this notion of regular people. I don't think we can make such a crass generalisation, nor are we justified to; although this 'rant' isn't really about marketing as such. I think we should be producing software that works well for us, and (considering we are all the same species.. mostly) it should be that this software also works well for other people. If it doesn't, I call that a bug, with merit just as any other bug. I don't specify a requirement on the person doing the developing, and each developer can have her own target audience: one general target audience of regular people is just too wide to be defined well enough to see what we are targeting! I, perhaps somewhat naively, fail to believe that people are so shallow that they can all be generalised over, or that they all fall for the same eye candy. Every person is different, but with a flexible system we can address any need. As a result, we cannot market to one audience. We must market specifically to audiences, cultures, separately. We cannot address the enterprise sector the same way we can talk to casual home users; or the enterprise sectors in China and France; or home users in India and the USA. By regular people, I assume you mean casual home users. And as you did not specify a smaller set, I will also assume North American casual home users, however much I'd like not to; for not every regular person in all the regular people is the same, nor is every regular person North American. However, this is not necessarily the sector with the most money in; even if it may be the most interesting - for you - to target. So is it the correct sector to target by regular people? Who knows! I certainly don't. However, we do all try and speak the same language. It would definitely be confusing if we didn't. So making assumptions is often a necessary part of life; not all things in life are scientifically precise (rather like standardising units of measurement for storage devices etc). Nonetheless, we are not here to make casual discussion on marketing to regular people. We want to be successful in our mission of Free Software ubiquity, as it pushes fairer ethics into the rest of life (not just software development), and for whatever other reasons, be they ideological or financial in origin. Hence, we must choose target audiences and discuss what the best method of marketing our product (in this case, Ubuntu; but it really doesn't matter - I can see this applying to any product).

On the subject of promoting alternatives, Becta noted that the UK's Open Source Consortium would like to see Becta proactively promoting choice by adopting open source standards and stated that it will discuss with key stakeholders the practical steps it could take to facilitate wider competition in choice in relation to software licensing in schools. Earlier this week the OSC's president, Mark Taylor, criticized Becta for entering into the extension with Microsoft despite its own research indicating cheaper open source alternatives.

Maybe we should write a letter to BECTA and tell them who we are, what we offer and how we can help British schools. It would be interesting to discuss their requirements and ways of providing information and support to schools to help them move towards adopting open source.
