Melissa I don't know your intent for doing this but may I suggest to the Team that Melissa's effort be expanded into a project simply called "Product Registration". Now, some kind of product registration project might be quite interesting, but it's one that could only work if we were to get buy-in from the rest of the community. The only way it would be of any real use is if the user got bugged once to fill it out when they first install Ubuntu. That's a big step to take, so we need a lot of careful thought. If I get agreement, I will begin crafting the necessary paperwork (Specs). Interested to know what paperwork you feel is necessary. Again, I don't want to be negative in the face of your enthusiasm, but let's talk about this sort of stuff - it's important. -- Matthew Revell www.understated.co.uk -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

Bear in mind, though, that your current customer base is not necessarily your target market. mrben [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 28/07/2006 11:43:12: > Melissa, > > Thank you for cutting to the root and doing the first step to > marketing. > > And that is answering the very basic question "who is our > customer!" > > For those of you who may have missed this, Melissa put up a web site to > count Ubuntu users. > > http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net > > Why is this so very important?

Melissa, Thank you for cutting to the root and doing the first step to marketing. And that is answering the very basic question "who is our customer!" For those of you who may have missed this, Melissa put up a web site to count Ubuntu users. http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net Why is this so very important? We finally have market research data and it changes everything! Melissa I don't know your intent for doing this but may I suggest to the Team that Melissa's effort be expanded into a project simply called "Product Registration". If I get agreement, I will begin crafting the necessary paperwork (Specs). Once again, Melissa thank you for showing us the way.
