Hi, I can't agree with Cory here. The community-based-marketing-team or whatever you want to call it just needs to get the ball rolling and to set up some basics. After that, it shouldn't be that hard to get things done from this team. Organization is the key, guys. With it you don't have to stay at "StreetTeam", which is quite a mean view on what a whole group can bring up to light if you ask me. A solid and organized group could just do tons of things, not just basic stuff waiting for Canonical to do the biggest part and following. Did ubuntu start from Canonical or did Canonical start with ubuntu ? I guess you know what I mean. As I said, we have a find ways to keep Canonical marketing dept and community-based-marketing-team. I already have some in mind, but that's maybe not the point now. Listening to some here, it seems that Canonical is the only company having money, and the only one allowed to put money in ubuntu. I saw a lot of funds raised just by community donates, and I strongly believe that we could - as an organized entity - get funds from some smallers companies. I could get my company working for some ubuntu marketing at the price it cost me. I could even get some things free. And that's just the tip of the iceberg you know ? How many people are reading those words now ? How many could they get in touch with about the idea ? How many people could be aware of the project in 24 hours just by community forums ? Money is a problem, but not the biggest one imho. Long story short, I believe starting now to say "we should just do the less of what we can" is the best way to get ride of the community-based-actions.
