Please vote on the invite functionality idea at Brainstorm http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/29100/ Regards and forward with Ubuntu, Lionthinker </pre> Leon Marincowitz 2012-02-04T10:22:30 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.marketing/4249 <pre>Hi, Lately I have been trying to be an outside user on spreadUbuntu, searching for cool stuff on the site. I have found A LOT of cool material that is there. I have also experienced some shortcoming. Based on this experience I would like to propose to the following changes: 1. We need to separate tje concept of a translated website from the concept of translated material. 1.1 SpreadUbuntu being available in many languages is key and important so as many users as possible can contribute. 1.2 Translating material is done today on a material-node level and we should keep it this way 1.3 Material should not have a language by default, but rather have language as a reference 2. Searching needs to be simplified and more powerful 2.1 Move away from the concept of Language for Material 2.2 Search criterias (Media, Purpose, Derivative, Release, Source Extension) should be shown as clickable text fields. Dropdown menues are cumbersome (the HUD got me thinking in that) 2.3 The Serach bar should, by default search accross the whole site (*all* for all search criterias) keeping the source extension 3. Contextual help needs to be added for users wanting to change sources to make new material, add changes or make new translations 3.1 We need to work on the Make Material section and make it more alive (graphs, application screenshots) 3.2 We shoould encourage our user to change, adapt and translate the current material by giving them hints based on Material source extension (point people to the revamped Make Material section proposed in 3.1) 3.3 Show available translations for all material in the Material Node first page (ref to point 1. and specially point 1.3) If you have an opinion, now it is the time to voice it. I thank you in advance for your feedback! Have a great day (or night) everyone!

If you have suggestions for improvements to these overviews or changes that should be considered, now is a good time to start some discussions off. Thanks, Kate on behalf of the Ubuntu Release team. </pre> Kate Stewart 2011-11-28T22:10:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.marketing/4234 <pre>If you learn from the old, and yet are inspired by the young, then what you are doing is to combine popularity and wisdom. This is one of the values that makes Ubuntu the system of choice for those who are not afraid of broadening their perspectives.

A few days ago, Laura Czajkowski made the suggestion that Ubuntu Advertising and/or Ubuntu Marketing might look at preparing and sending press releases to appropriate media. Since then, I've been looking at what happens at present. All I can find are spasmodic releases from Canonical which sometimes reflect the state of play with the latest Ubuntu release. Do any of you know of anything more than this? If not, could I suggest a sub group committed to circulating a regular media news letter (two or three times a year). I'll be happy to receive contributions, collate them and write it up, then circulate it. It would need to target computer magazines, press generally, radio and TV. Are there any opinions? And any volunteers to feed news items into this? Kind regards,Barry. </pre> Barry Drake 2011-08-02T11:14:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.marketing/4217 <pre>yes i want to join </pre> akhil batra 2011-07-31T11:43:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.marketing/4213 <pre>I'm running for President of the United States and free and open source software are my backbone.

The campaign value is around $700/week. I tried to find a good GIF or Flash animation with no luck. Can someone help me find something attractive and up-to-date? 300x250 or 300x300 are fine with source to translate text if possible, please. This ad won't cost anything for Ubuntu. It's on the house :D Thanks ! </pre> Rafik Ouerchefani 2011-03-25T22:47:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.marketing/4206 <pre>Benjamin "Mako" Hill of Ubuntu, Debian, Wikimedia, MIT, FSF, and more has agreed to do a video interview with Reddit!

The goal of the brief is to created alternate wallpapers targeted to the five user groups identified by this team. The idea is when presented with a list of wallpaper choices the would-be user to the inspired user would see something that strikes their fancy.
