Remember: we market Ubuntu, we do not make it more marketable as a priority. Just about every other team does however, so please pick the appropriate team for suggestions.
All Ubuntu users are/can be a part of its marketing effort. We hope to support them to be able to participate in local marketing, which is what we need most. The Marketing Team itself cannot reach out to every single spot on earth and approach individuals - but the LoCos can, and the Marketing Team can save each of these a lot of redundant work by doing some of it centrally, globally. Ubuntu [http://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/1 Bug #1] is our inspiration and it's final bugfix is our final goal. Spreading all Free Software is within the interest of the Team, and Ubuntu among that is its main focus. -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
