Nobody. That's the problem. And IMO, Canonicals. > and what specifically should we be > marketing?

Hence, I would like to see a reordering of what the team is trying to do. Or even disbanding. Up until this week, there's been tumbleweeds blowing through this list. I see the marketing of Ubuntu as a Canonical responsibility. Anything "community" lead I see as D.I.Y./street team work. Just me. If I had my way, I'd reinvent the team as Ubuntu-StreetTeam or something. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
