Hello,
I am new here but I thought I would give my two cents on the matter of
marketing Ubuntu.
From my experience, people (around here at least) want their computer to
run Facebook flawlessly and look pretty. As much as I like Ubuntu,
it is by no means pretty. Even compared to Windows.
Most of the points are very valid. I have gone to the ubuntu marketing irc
channel and its also very dead. I have been trying to put together a
centralized market place for open source / Ubuntu items and have been
extremely disappointed with the lack of participation. It seems that the

I just joined this mailing list last night so I have no idea what has
been going on. I have actually been using Ubuntu for years but just last
night decided to contribute as much as I can.
I am by no means a marketing professional but I'll help out anyway way I

These days, all the effort should be focussed on the folks that are
currently switching from PC to Macs. I'm speaking with many of them on a

Market places are really good if populated and used, however, I would
say that market 'places' are one aspect of marketing. The more
general activity of 'marketing' is something for which the foss
community is poorly

I have been working to coordinate Social Networks in hope of reorganizing
them and doing a real campaign across all of them I think they can prove to

Good points and I agree in principle. However, I would like to add my
thoughts to two areas in your post that I feel weaken the marketing message.
1) The used computer sector is an area of opportunity iff certified (or
compatible) systems are marketed over try this and it might work

Ubuntu is great in so many ways both Windows and Mac are good for. The only
negative aspect of Ubuntu compared to Mac is that it's basically free and it

Certified systems are looking to far into the future. In other words that
