I think what we really need is to provide the infrastructure to make it possible for teams (and likely individuals) to do the marketing. That's not saying we cannot dream up marketing proposals and find interest within Ubuntu to roll out those proposals. I'm sure that there will be times that we do actual end-user marketing ourselves. I'm sure that there will still be plenty scope to "get your hands dirty". -- Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S31°54'06" - E115°50'39" (Yokine, WA) -- ()/)/)() ..ASCII for Onno.. |>>? ..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..
