There is some valid criticism. For anyone who hasn't listened to it, they have started doing a rant bit where they discusssed how Vista has been marketing flop, and Linux has not taken advantage of it. Basically, they felt that marketing needs to quit writing web pages that focus on new versions of Gnome or Open Office. Advertising better printer installation doesn't inspire the average user. Instead, start marketing Ubuntu (or whatever distribution) as the coolest piece of technology out there. Get the average user excited about trying out something new and different. The question here is really if the community can do that. Or do you need someone like Canonical or Red Hat to take charge and come up with a vision to drive that kind of marketing? nick -- http://boredandblogging.com -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
