Hello Everyone!

My name is Danny Piccirillo reporting from the Marketing Team
[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam] and we're hoping to have a
super-successful Hardy Release Campaign with your help. Please pass
this information on to your teams.

This campaign will entail creating flyers for the release to submit to
us to host on our Materials
[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Materials] page for everyone to
take advantage of. Along with doing what LoCo's do, we want lots of
fliers to get out to raise awareness about Ubuntu and free software
right after the release.

If possible, teams should take the press release that will be issued
by Canonical for the release and adapt it to make their own local
press releases.

We also would like to see all LoCo's engaging in organized activism
and for this i have created the LoCo Activism Guide
[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoActivism] (Please Digg it). It includes
tips, how to convert friends, flyering and postering, lobbying
government, educational institutions, organizations & clubs, gaining
industry support, press & media (which can be used to write that local
press release), and fundraising. Please contribute to this guide
especially if you have experience with any of the mentioned topics.

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, March 12th @ 00:00 UTC
[http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=03&day=12&year=2008&hour=00&min=00&sec=00&p1=0]
so if you have any ideas please add it to the agenda
[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Meetings/Minutes/2008-03-12]
and show up for the meeting.

Spread the word far and wide,
Thanks!

.Danny
