Norway has a similar situation. We know that we need to get up and
running, but have been slow at doing so.

12.04 is our chance to get ourselves in the right path again and drive
our focus to make Ubuntu even more known in our land.

As usual, I have a list:
 * Collaborate as one entity towards Canonical and see what we can
work out. I am specially thinking of access to Press Releases or the
like before the release itself (a joker card we can play towards the
local media in every country)
 * Join our efforts for PR and Marketing and act as one unit. As this
is the first time we will do this, it will be hard and will take a bit
of our time, but once the foundations are in place it will make it
easier for us all to do this for later releases (I hope) and have
greater coverage
 * Common local marketing. If we have, say, 5-10 people per country
distributing/putting material in different locations in Scandinavia
(think poles close to public transportation stations or announcement
boards accross the cities/towns when orienteering ;-) would create a
lot of visibility all over the place. This is specially true if we
manage to cover main train and buss stations as well as airports.
Manage we to connect this to our website(s) and we have a hole in one
for our parties for 12.04 (oh, I forgot, we should have parties all
over the place...)

Yay, congrats! Happy to see things happening in Sweden and that you

Do not put all eggs in one bag. And if you do and they break, learn to
start all over again and put them indifferent basg next time ;-)

Sounds like a good thing which could probably work. A piece of advice:
start in the small and grow from there.


A vision of

We are, but we need to work a bit more. In Norway, I believe that we
will see changes coming the next few weeks regarding our organization
so we can work towards the 12.04 release.
