Hello: I would be happy to contribute any way that I can to the the marketing team.
The increase of traffic on the list is a good thing, people shouldn't be concerned if people talk about the same thing. They should just be glad that people are talking period. The success of this team depends on whether Canonical is going to back us or not. Right now they produce ton's of CD's and believe that all you have to do to sell Ubuntu is give them a CD and they will try it and what to make the switch. This method is fine if the only people you are marketing to are people with the technical know how to install an operating system. However for the other 99% of the people out there that use computers, they are afraid of the Live CD and don't try it at all. A more effective way to reach them is in print with information that makes them to use Ubuntu and seek out support. People in the support business will then support them. The marketing team should be "ambassadors" for Ubuntu and need the support of Canonical to make it work.
