Hi Jacob, Well done for taking the lead on this project. Whilst I know people are discussing the pros and cons of putting up sites like this, I think it's admirable that someone is just getting on and doing it. Keep going!

People on trains, buses, walking the dog, in a bar/restaurant, basically anywhere "normal" (whatever that means) people go. One thing you'll note about the Microsoft adverts is that you don't see many people sat _at_ a PC. Do we really want a hundred videos of pasty faced poorly lit low res nerds? :) (Note I include myself in that) Many people have mobile phones and digital stills cameras which can do short video clips, some can even do decent quality video ;) Just a suggestion to diversify the video that you get. > Possible variations include this example for my daughter: "Hi, I'm Eliza. > I'm 7 years old, and I am Ubuntu." Those from other parts of the world may > want to use something like this: "Hi, I'm (name) from (place), and I am > Ubuntu." > "other parts of the world"? Surely everyone is from an 'other' part of the world relative to everyone else? I'd say you choose one or the other phrase for consistency but don't make the assumption that if someone doesn't say where they are from, they're from where you are. I'll certainly submit a video or two :) Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
