SpreadUbuntu is to be understood as a subteam of the marketing team, but also as a *normal* opensource project in the sense that we plan coding and using branches extensively. The marketing-team list is a discussion list, while the SU list will be more of a technical type of list to discuss what we want into the project and eventually technical details about our code. >> >> I'd like to request that this sub-project of the marketing team uses >> the regular marketing team mailing list for discussions: with all the >> difficulties that this team has had lately with finding a direction, >> the last thing that it needs is for a project that could potentially >> actually get some work done to be branching off and working on a >> separate mailing list. In that sense the project is to be seen as a project (with code, branches, developers) and not a direct subteam of the marketing team (which is more of an advocacy team) even though we all are also members of the marketing team. We have the *permission* of the team to analyze the creation of a repository for marketing material, and so we decided to create a new different infrastructure including a list (and had already this discussion with people from LP) so we don't go around annoying marketeers with technical discussions and such. We are in NO WAY making (or trying to make) any distance to the Marketing Team (our meetings happen in the m-t channel) as such. >> >> It's generally desirable for projects in the Ubuntu community to use >> an existing list rather than begin a new one.
