Ubuntu Advertising Announcements 12/3
Hello Everyone, We have some BIG news for all of you! This should put a smile on your face! We have four major announcements to make. Our next meeting will contain the fine details, but here are the main points; 1. We contacted Mark Shuttleworth, and this is what he said; In terms of official support - of course, if your work is punchy and on-message, we can publish it on official Ubuntu sites and encourage folks to use it widely. We could arrange all sorts of publicity for it - for example, an Ubuntu community member who does a lot of work with digital cinema said he could get a short, excellent Ubuntu "ad" screened before movies if it was not too much of an ad (i.e. if it promoted open content and also reminded viewers to switch off their cellphones ;-)). 2. We found a studio in the UK that will offer their facilities for our use! 3. The Ubuntu UK Podcast team has agreed to look at our project and possibly share a short little blurb for the next show. Here’s what we sent to them: The newly-founded Ubuntu Advertising team is working to produce video and graphical adverts for Ubuntu targeted to a non-technical public. People experienced with video and audio editors, photography, Blender, and related tools are encouraged to join the team or learn more at ubuntuadverts.org. 4. Our website <http://ubuntuadverts.org/> is up and running with some really nice features! It should be go-to place for team members to get information or see what’s going on. Be sure to check it out: http://ubuntuadverts.org Some new features include: - On-site IRC <http://ubuntuadverts.org/meetings> (so you can attend meetings from the site itself), - A “Recent” section on the side of every page (this will list upcoming meetings and announcements), - A “Get Involved” page <http://ubuntuadverts.org/get-involved> to better inform people of what is needed, and - Many improvements throughout. Therefore, how things went will have to change! We want you to be aware that this is getting serious. To make our efforts work, we need to combine our powers. Planning is key, there is a lot of work to be done. We’ll be looking at a world-wide audience, and we have to plan (and promote) accordingly. We have several product ideas and each has their own work-flow. We need animators, photographers, actors (voice and live-action) and musicians. We will be many people’s first contact with Ubuntu and the world of F/OSS, so it is important that we do it right, we do it well and most importantly, together we Rock this World! Thank you, from the Project Leaders; Danté Ashton (DanteAshton) Cassidy James (cassidyjames) Keimpe de Jong (UndiFineD)
