I look forward to seeing your contributions :) I was talking about what we could really use from a marketing point of view. High profile geeks won't get us many new users that aren't geeks themselves and those people probably already know and maybe even tried Ubuntu themselves. Well-known artists, television/radio personalities, etc. (even if they are only known locally) would give us a bigger public that probably never heard about Ubuntu before. Unfortunately, I don't think I really know such people. :) -- Jan Claeys -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

He was well up for it but did ask that I get back in touch in September. I've created a wiki page for us to log high-profile switchers, for possible interview when we're ready for them: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Switchers Of course, this could cross-over into case studies but for SpreadUbuntu (or whatever), I think we'd be going for the wow factor, a little more. -- Matthew Revell www.understated.co.uk -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
[ubuntu-marketing] High Profile Switcher..Almost
Mr. Engadget Almost Loves Ubuntu...high profile people who are mucking around with Ubuntu these days. Latest to (almost) join their ranks is Engadget founder Peter Rojas. Peter is a good friend, and has been our personal consumer tech/gadget trend spotter. He has a pretty solid track record of making the right picks, and can astutely tell, what will sell and what won't. Rojas recently installed Ubuntu on his Sony Vaio F5 and seems to be pretty happy, though not quite ready to make the switch. In other words, give it a few months, and Ubuntu might actually start to get serious traction.
