Ok. Let's start then! Please read carefully every link I have added. The way I see it we need to establish a starting point: Make[0] SpreadUbuntu[1] a reality[2] for all[3] the[4] right[5] reasons[6]. The community is crying for this or something similar to happen and has for a long[7] time[8]. If you ask me this is true for almost every single Team and LoCo [9] I have ever had anything to do with[10]. Just today I was discussing with people here in Oslo about spreading (as in marketing/selling) ubuntu and the lack of a material and guide resource and/or of proper managed campaigns makes it difficult to get started and get more people joining us in the marketing effort. In Ecuador, the same. Lack of existence of such a central marketing place with localized (as in translated) material gives people a hard time "selling" ubuntu to the mass public. You can, of course, go happy haunting and find a lot of material, but managing those resources in an organized manner (as in using something different than google and more like a easy access site) would make everybody's life easier and marketing (and hence accelerating the adoption of) Ubuntu and helping the global community a task easier to work with for all of us. So please, consider the REAL issues at stake here and before you answer DO something, anything. Show what you want with ACTION! Actions speak louder than words. I rather see a 5-minutes mock up and effort than more talking in circles about the same old thing: We do not agree on everything and we never will, but we can still cooperate with each other. Let's get started... Next time I write to this list I will have something. Will you?
