The Ubuntu Marketing forums

[Jane Silber]

Doc Team, Marketing Team -

Can we start a discussion about some of the overlapping efforts? I agree 
that duplication of efforts is unfortunate. There is so much to be done 
that it seems we should be able to agree on some basic scoping for 
various teams to avoid the duplication.

Are there specific initiatives that are problemmatic?   Perhaps we can 
look at each in turn and discuss where the lead should be, which ones 
have cross-team applicability, how to work in a cross-team manner, etc.  
I'm not trying to stop any initiatives or limit anyone's participation - 
simply hoping we can be more effective.

Cheers,
Jane
