The marketing would be one big entity, which would consist several parts: 1) POSTERS Real-life, touchable posters. Few designs. B&W also. Get people to print them and place them on the walls all over the world. </blockquote><div> Sounds fun, not sure if it'll really work though. I'm also not sure whether Xubuntu's community is large enough for this. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> 2) WIDGETS Web widgets or something like that. Something a bit more than just a countdown banner. We had the idea of some "special" banner frames for some days, maybe use that idea? </blockquote><div> I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but this could definitely be a success. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> 3) MICROSITE – THE BIG IDEA A microsite for the LTS release. Link to all the poster sources and widgets. Tell about new releases and the LTS concept. Add more content at least weekly (remember that this content can be ready before it's published, so we don't have to rush when we are near to the release). Maybe some "developer interviews"? Maybe even ask Mark to answer some questions? How to get the voice of users to show? Some interactive parts? </blockquote><div> Cool, but as said, time is too tight for me to be able to contribute ;-) </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> 4) EVENTS? Some events to lift Xubuntu to even higher level. Ubuntu Developer Week? Ubuntu Open Week (plan beforehand)! I'm trying to redesign the website for Lucid also. What are we going to do for the "developer blog" idea? I need help if we are going to follow this plan, especially 3).
