I agree with John. To me it seems a large step backward to sever ties
with the organisation that has a large investment in the success of Ubuntu.
Within the ubuntu-server team there are processes being enacted where we
are getting ready to roll out a survey to:
In an effort to better understand, support and further the Ubuntu
Server Edition we would like to ask you to take this survey which
should take between 10 to 20 minutes to complete. The information
provided will help us determine where we can improve support, where
to add additional resources and to generate a better understanding
of the community which we work within.
During this process I've added my limited radio and publicity experience
to the effort in the form of a release and a list of people to release
it to.
One of the major challenges I had (and still have) - is the visibility
of this particular group of individuals - the Marketing Team.
I think that if the team and Canonical can work together towards
mutually beneficial aims - because I recognise that they may not always
be the same - then I think that is a good thing.
I'm loathe to hijack this thread to start a discussion about other ideas
and comments, so I won't, but I think it would be inappropriate to
reference a marketing effort (in the form of a survey) without providing
a URL. Note that this is still embargoed. The ubuntu-server team will be
meeting in 22 hours from now and I'm expecting to bring this survey up
there.
