In order to help make the Marketing of Ubuntu more effective, a new Launchpad team called the Ubuntu Core Marketing Team has been created. This team will focus primarily on planning and championing our projects and strategies that have an impact the entire global Ubuntu community. The Core Marketers will help design project plans complete with task lists that will allow any contributor to help a project easily and effectively.
Some of the rough ideas that the Ubuntu Core Marketing Team may be able to help with are: * Creating a central repository where community members can access the most up to date marketing information without having to dig for it. * Using Launchpad Blueprints to help give new team members a concise map of the current direction of the team. * Possibly using the Launchpad Bug functionality to showcase which tasks are being worked on, and where contributors can lend a hand. * Moving the intense planning discussions off the main list of marketing contributors that do not care for the exhaustive rhetoric of the envisioning phase. * Developing a release schedule that coincides with the Ubuntu distro cycle so that materials are consistently up-to-date. In order for the Ubuntu Core Marketing Team to be a success, we need several volunteers to help us get started: * A volunteer that is intimately active with the Ubuntu LoCo teams willing to report the Ubuntu Core Marketing Team successes and bring back information about the LoCos to the group. * Someone who works with the Development teams that can help parse information about upcoming distributions that we can use to plan materials around. * Members familiar with the wiki are needed to help publicize core marketing initiatives. * Leaders from the existing projects (SpreadUbuntu, Studio, etc.) to join us and to contribute when it comes to their projects or relationships with other projects. * The best and brightest minds willing to step up and help create and pilot exciting marketing projects for the whole Ubuntu Community to use. * Volunteers with positive attitudes that understand how to convey excitement to others about new project ideas. If you are someone who feels the desire to contribute by helping to plan or lead projects, sign up to come join the Ubuntu Core Marketing Team today. The group is meant to be a transparent addition to the ubuntu-marketing team that helps the ideas we have together become a reality. We will use Launchpad, the wiki, and the mailing lists to communicate with each other and the rest of the community, so please feel free to contribute in any fashion you would like. Please join us in our effort to create the building blocks needed by the Ubuntu Community to spread Ubuntu throughout the world! Thank you very much, John Vilsack
