Re: [ubuntu-uk] [ubuntu-marketing] countdown for gutsy

2007-10-03 Thread Mark Harrison
I think it would be good to have an idea of how many ubuntu-uk people 
are doing this.

Would it be appropriate to put a page on the wiki where people could add 
links to their sites (sites showing this banner only.)

Clearly someone would need to write some weasel words making it clear 
that Ubuntu-UK didn't ENDORSE any of these sites, they were just there 
as an example of the kinds of things Ubuntu was used for?

 Hello,

 I've recently added a countdown script to the www.ubuntu.com homepage.
 You'll see in very very tiny lettering near the bottom right of it
 there is a link for others to add a counter like it to their
 homepages. That link takes them to
 http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown that contains brief
 instructions and the two lines of code needed to use the counter.

 There's no tracking, cookies, web bugs or anything mischievous here...
 it's just a bit of javascript that calculates the date and shows the
 appropriate image.

 We'd really like to get this out, so could a fridge team member put
 this on the fridge and could the marketing team spread the word
 through their channels? Gerry, Kat and Matt (me) would really
 appreciate it. It should help build up the excitement as we approach
 the 7.10 release.
