Hello:
I would be happy to contribute any way that I can to the the marketing
team.
The increase of traffic on the list is a good thing, people shouldn't be
concerned if people talk about the same thing. They should just be glad
that people are talking period.
The success of this team depends
I respectfully disagree.
THe point of the marketing is not to be the Ambassadors, our job is to
manufacture and provide strategies to those that will evangelize the
product. We may all be those same Ambassadors when not performing our
undertaken responsibilities, but the two are seperate
It looks like 8pm CMT this Saturday is a moment that suits well for quite a

I am going to use Vid's message to put in my two cents on this issue -
one last time. Like a lot of people who have commented here in the last
week or so, I am getting very frustrated with all of this going around
in circles.

Going back to the meeting topic for a sec...
From the people that have voted on the poll, and the list of available
times in the Meetings page it appears 20:00 UTC would be the most
convenient hour. Is that ok, or is that not a good time for someone?
About the day, I would say it should be ASAP.
It appears that my original suggested time of 12:00 or 13:00 UTC for a
start time will fit pretty much eveyone in terms of time zones.
How is everyone feel about a Saturday meeting? Do we want to do this
NEXT Saturday the 7th or Saturay the 14th?

The idea with wikis is to do collaborative work in an incremental phase.
I see your point, but after hanging around for a while I found out
that the best way to make impact within your community activities is
to use the wiki as a cooperative tool. And yes, it means an effort in

I think part of the problem with these meetings is that given the
international basis of the marketing team, whenever you organise one,
someone will be unable to attend.
I propose that an agenda is fixed, with a set of issues to be
addressed and that the agenda is discussed at a group of regional

The problem with your suggestion is that it assumes everyone is
comfortable using the Wiki. I took a look at the meeting page, and as
someone who is just learning how to use wiki code, I am reluctant to
touch that page for fear of messing it up. We all seem to know how to
use email :-)

Ruben,
What you say about the wiki may be true, but the fact is that most
people who are currently participating on this list are NOT using the
wkiki, and I suspect the reason for that is that they, like me, are
unfamiliar with how it works.
I am learning wiki code by working on my personal
Due to the international nature of the group, I also think a meeting is
somewhat unfeasible for 100% attendance.
I am about 90% done with a rough draft of a proposal to the council which
covers the three main topics (focus on materials and collaboration,
core-marketers, Canonical liasion) which I
