An ad is never gonna be developed by committee. Do it. Realize that you're never going to please everyone in the Linux community, or even the Ubuntu community.
I, and millions others, thank you for your contribution, even if you don't win. Good luck.

Primary views will come from current users and those in the technology community. Thus, there are two goals that should be accomplished. The first is to rally or inspire our community. The second is not to push away those who know of Linux, but do not use it for one reason or another (ie. "power users" of other OSs". To accomplish these goals while still having some appeal to the mainstream is difficult but possible. I think for example that we should focus on the "Linux" as a whole rather than just Ubuntu because it will conflict with the first goal. It will rally the Ubuntu community but others might not be so pleased. Secondly, by making it a "competitive ad" such as the "I'm a Mac" ads, it will conflict with goal number two. Thus I beleive we need to do a "the power of we" ad. The ad would for example show case open source principles, but more also show that open source and Linux work with propratiary OSs (dual booting, VMs, etc.), softwate and drivers. -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
