Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] main ubuntu forum
+1 for the tag. If there are tags for kubuntu and xubuntu, people will look for a lubuntu tag. If were a complete subsection, they maybe won't find us.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] main ubuntu forum
Hi Goh, thanks for your input. Actually I think in regards to marketing lubuntu is quite successful. There are thousands of blog entries and many people are talking about it. There was not a release for the general public yet and we are still at the beginning. So, any support from your side is welcome!

But still I think there's more that can be done not just by each of us, but the 'organizational' effort, especially if directed outside the ubuntu 'sphere' can be effective. For example o media coverage, emphasizing lightness and speed with codecs and fonts. o corporate free add-ons for broad-band providers (to give their customers) with customized browser and slypheed defaults. (how expensive can a 2Gb disk be?) which can be installed to the pc or as carry-on's. o tie-ins with companies like google (why not?) or yahoo; yes, google is coming out with their own OS, but their main profit target is not in OS, and other OS's which enables their main target objective would be welcome. Google giving out DNS is brilliant, gaining Keep in mind that Lubuntu is very young, with limited feedbacks, and limited ressources :) It's also important to note that Lubuntu target a specific range of hardware spec. The goal is not be universal, it's the goal of the standard Ubuntu version :) We don't have a world domination plan :) Regards, Julien Lavergne ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
