I'm concerned about this marketing speak. I'm fairly cynical to marketing though so maybe it's just me. Lists of words, how were those picked? OK so I understand we've got to explain to people what we mean with Ubuntu, position ourselves for non-community folk. But I'm just baffled by these words, recently I picked my own set of words and most of them were about FOSS rather than just Ubuntu: http://doctormo.deviantart.com/art/DRAFT-Ubuntu-AnimeBos-Flyer-1-156027211 But I consider things like 'precise' and 'reliable' as being too common, predicable and there is the danger that those things can be very easily disproved with testing. Bad PR if we don't live up to them. Instead I think we should be playing to our strengths as leaders of a smart, compassionate, scientific community, developing amazingly good software. Perhaps we all see different things. But should I be worried that I'm no longer in coherent agreement with the Canonical's Ubuntu brand message?
