Re: [ubuntu-marketing] The future of the Marketing Team (Mike Feravolo)
1) Ambassadors - People with connections in their local communities that could get marketing materials out there and let people know about Ubuntu. Yes, but they definitely have to work both way : sending needs from their LoCo to marketing team, and sending marketing team feedback to their LoCo. 2) Marketing - People that mass produce the marketing material and distribute it to the Ambassadors and the current LoCo team structure. They also setup and a maintain the channels of communication between the other two We are actually working on the organization of this part. See defining who we are from John Botscharow and the following replies. 3) Graphic Design / Copy Writing - People that have the ability to create the marketing materials and people that can write the copy that goes with the graphics. The team already exist, and I think they would love helping out for a marketing issue. See Ubuntu Artworks.

If a LoCo can't do it for some reason, we should see if other LoCos can help them out, but trying to mass produce anything and then shipping it all over the world is logistically painful. 3) Graphic Design / Copy Writing - People that have the ability to create the marketing materials and people that can write the copy that goes with the graphics. We need to work with the Artwork Team to get them involved and see what materials LoCos can create that can be shared among everyone. nick -- http://boredandblogging.com -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

I think what we really need is to provide the infrastructure to make it possible for teams (and likely individuals) to do the marketing. That's not saying we cannot dream up marketing proposals and find interest within Ubuntu to roll out those proposals. I'm sure that there will be times that we do actual end-user marketing ourselves. I'm sure that there will still be plenty scope to get your hands dirty. -- Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S31°54'06 - E115°50'39 (Yokine, WA) -- ()/)/)()..ASCII for Onno.. |?..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..
