Hi,
After the multiple video threads I thought I'd have a play. I'd
actually intended getting this finished for the Ubuntu Free Culture
Showcase competition but that wasn't to be.
The concept was to Show that Ubuntu can be used by a diverse range of
people for a myriad of tasks.

Hi Jacob,
Well done for taking the lead on this project. Whilst I know people
are discussing the pros and cons of putting up sites like this, I
think it's admirable that someone is just getting on and doing it.
Keep going!

international basis of the marketing team, whenever you organise one,
someone will be unable to attend.

Matthew,
Ubuntu has an excellent OPPORTUNIY, yes, but unless WE take some action
to actually submit a solution to Becta, we've accomplished nothing. I
would like to know, as a newbie, who is responsible for doing this sort
of thing? the marketing team? And how do I get in touch with them,
So, before I meander way off topic: I can't possibly be the only one who
has pondered promoting Ubuntu, in some way, at a public library. Any

Hi folks,
This is just a quick post to the list, asking you to consider writing
to your local newspaper or magazine to promote Ubuntu.
The article has already been written for you. You can edit it, change
it or leave it as it is, but the general idea is that it should take
the effort out of

That seems sensible. I'm sure that loco teams would go for that. Seems

I noticed these preview shots of Windows Home Server.

I'm sure most of you will agree that Ubuntu is probably pretty well
placed to operate as a serious competitor to this product and wondered
if anyone has any ideas
Ok. So should we have a trial of the audio version of UWN for a month
or so and gather information about the popularity (how many downloads)?
I don't mind sorting this.
Cheers,
Al.
Hi Al,
I think yes. That'd be a sensible idea.

Feel free to correct my understanding but I think you're pushing at a

Hi folks,
My fellow loco's and I over at Ubuntu UK have been trying to establish
whether or not it's worth trying to market Ubuntu via local
magazines/publications etc which take contributions from the
'community'.
I'd just like to share the first article that we've knocked together
with you
I think that this is quite a good draft. However, I think it is
important (as Debian does in their why you should switch page) to note
some disadvantages as well. Ubuntu doesn't work wonders, and is better
at some tasks than others. One task which is popular is DirectX-based
gaming, which is
Yes, well that may be just because that other software has too many
flaws to list ;)
More seriously, I do still feel that in persuading others to switch,
they need to know what to expect. Leaving the bitter aftertaste of
disappointment is not what we want to do, if Ubuntu didn't do something
This article is well worth reading if you love Ubuntu.
It is not particularly favourable, but I think it is typical of what

on many peoples radar. It offers how others see us. Gold dust for

Taking this into consideration; I would like to ask the good people at
