Right, so it seems that creating a 'Viral Videos' (I.e; short videos that can be posted on the internet, similar to the Windows <http://www.youtube.com/user/WindowsVideos>ones) project seems to be a better option to market Ubuntu than creating a TV ad for a number of reasons;
1. It's cheaper - no cost of getting it on the air 2. Easier to spread - just send a link to friends/family, etc 3. More involvement - the project can go on for a longer time period, and people from other countries can contribute, too. 4. It'll last longer - Any videos made will stay online for as long as the video hosting sites are up. Before this project actually gets to a head, I'd just like to know who would definitely be interested in contributing. And it wouldn't just be making videos, remember, we need people to manage any web hosting channels we have, people to create themes and or/artwork for the channels, and to be possibly be included in the videos, people to keep the wiki updated, poeple to suggest ideas that can be used in videos, there are PLENTY of ways to contribute, so just because you can't make a video, doesn't mean there won't be something for you to do. If you're interested, reply to this message. If we get enough people, popey (Alan Pope) has pointed me to these two guys who we could ask to help, as long as there's enough interest: http://www.youtube.com/user/dribletofanaphorism http://www.youtube.com/user/madsrosendahl They're both really good at video editing/creation, check out their works. Liam Wilson P.S; I'm asking around loads of LoCo's/Teams, so apologies if you get this more than once.
