Of course we plan on engaging the Marketing Team at a later stage, but first we must have a technical platform and that is what this project is all about. We have invited interested people within the Marketing Team to join our subgroup; there's no clash of interest here. Now If this is such a big deal we can either move to the m-t list and discuss details on SU. I would like to know if it is ok for the SU team and the Marketing Team that we move our activities to the marketing-team list. If it's ok I, for one, will have no problem on doing so. I just do not want to fill the list with technical details. >>>> It's generally desirable for projects in the Ubuntu community to use >>>> an existing list rather than begin a new one.

As mentioned above I believe the list might be necessary, but it doesn't have to be if people is ok with us using the marketing-team mailing list. What do people have to say? And I am thinking foremost users of both list and team members feedback. > > -- > Matthew East > http://www.mdke.org > gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF > regards, Rubén. https://launchpad.net/~huayra _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~spreadubuntu Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~spreadubuntu More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
