I love the enthusiasm here without a doubt. Like the rest I tend to agree, especially since some of us who have been in the community for a little while has seen initiatives similar to this, just not as detailed. John, I would really like to see you sit with people like Jane, Matthew Revell, Corey Burger, Matthew East, and such, as these are some very influential people in our community, and I know w/o them I would probably be lost. Jane as you know is the Canonical COO and has had some outstanding points, ideas, and suggestions. I think John could be a valuable asset, and is a valuable asset right now, as his enthusiasm and detail is outstanding.
It would be great if we could all get together for a meeting, and find out exactly what Canonical would like to see. We have new relief coming to the Fridge, and people like John bringing an excitement to marketing around the Community. Thanks again John, and I definitely look forward to working on projects with you! I think our marketing team needs "Official" direction. I know official is thrown around quite a bit, but I think with community leaders and Canonical staff/support, the team would get that feel. Thank you everyone, and thank you John for everything! Please do not get discouraged by any of this John, because you are definitely the type of person this community can use, and I think if all of us on the marketing team, had a little better direction, we could be onto someting.
