[ubuntu-uk] ubuntu-uk-marketing

[Andy Loughran]

Chris,

I think this is a good idea, but I think we also need to work out what we are marketing.  Ubuntu has taken off massively in the British Media over the last 12 months, and as someone put in the last thread, most British companies will go to Canonical for their PR.

I think the job of the ubuntu-uk marketing team is possibly to provide grassroots support for the distro, rather than attempt to be someone that the corporations will go to, but I'm really unsure how to progress this.

I do, however, think it necessary that an ubuntu-uk-marketing group be formed so that issues such as the one above can be clearly discussed and considered allowing ubuntu-uk to acheive whatever aims it may set itself.

+1 to the aforementioned ideas.

Ok, there has been talk about this so lets see what we can do!

My proposal:

* Create a new section on the wiki for ubuntu-uk-marketing and move
the current work on leaflets to it.

* Create a new group on launchpad called ubuntu-uk-marketing and allow
people to join. Utilise launchpad to more efficiently organise ideas
and assign work amongst members. Use bazzar to work on leaflet text so
that revisions are stored and it's easier to visualise content than on
the wiki.

* Perhaps create IRC channel for discussion

Any thoughts or suggestions? (remembering that the marketing effort is
more than just leaflets and any involvement needs to be long term).

Chris
