The marketing team is always looking for more people to help out. We have huge plans to bring the wonder of ubuntu to the world and the more people helping to do that the faster we can make progress.
Get to know the team
Read through the pages linked to from the MarketingTeam page to get an idea of what we are currently working on.
Join the [https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing mailing list]. You can have a read through the [https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-marketing/ archives] to catch up on what has been discussed previously - but this isn't necessary as important points will be put into the wiki.
- Stop in past the IRC channel: #ubuntu-marketing on irc.freenode.net
Once you've made up your mind, join the team in [https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-marketing Launchpad].
What you can do to help
The marketing team is curently working on three main proects: SpreadUbuntu, UbuntuMagazine and the Media Relations Project (PressTeam). All would welcome content writers, SpreadUbuntu and UbuntuMagazine need people to help out with artwork and the technical aspects of producing these resources. If you have anything that you want to contribute get in touch with the project leaders who are listed on the MarketingTeam page.
New Ideas
Marketing works best when we have a diverse approach, we need to spread the word in as many ways as possible. The further outside the box the idea is the better - strange things get noticed. If you have an idea then either make a wiki page describing it, or make a spec for it in [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+addspec launchpad], or just send a [mailto:ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com mail] to the list. Then go for it. Note: please use the mailing list for brainstorming now, not the wiki or launchpad till we've figured out ways to do this best.
