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.

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..

Wondering how I would be able to read the thread and the fact that they were never reviewed and posted is an yet another example of what's wrong here. Have you gotten the mail proglem straightened out? I hope so because we can use all the participation we can get!!! I'm not much on technical stuff, so I'm no help there, but scroll down for more substantive comments Who actually benefits from Ubuntu ? The so called community, Canonical or the LoCo teams ? Maybe all of these are really the same thing and need to support each other. This is an excellent question, Mike. I'n pretty new to Ubuntu, so I am not really able to give you an authoritative answer as to the current reality, but the ideal situation would be that we ALL benefit. Canonical owns the Ubuntu trademarks and has the last word in everything that has to do with using those marks. Therefore marketing Ubuntu as a product benefits Canonical the most and Canonical should be willing to develop a cooperative advertising program with small businesses that support Linux at the local level. By owning the trademarks, C pretty much has the FINAL say so in everything, since very little gets done that does not involve those trademarks and those trademarks are a very essential part of marketing Ubuntu. That is why understanding the rules of what the marketing team can and cannot do is so important and why we need to set up close communication with someone from Canonical. And making the communiy aware of what we can and cannot do with those trademarks should be one of the major tasks of the team.
