Our meetings happen in the #ubuntu-marketing channel on the FreeNode IRC network.
2009
Our project is now in beta.
Meeting Q1
Assistants: huayra, michelleribeiro, shahriar86, trmanco Minutes from meeting 2009-01-31 and a continuation 2009-02-01. We talked about:
General about the site
- Localization of the site and material. We have decided to go for the Rosetta based approach since it gives
- Moving to Drupal6, it's pros and cons. Is there a point on doing SU a Drupal module?
Introducing the project and overview of our plans
Introducing ourselves and the SpreadUbuntu Project: As a site with 2 parts
- A Do-It-Yourself marketing material repository for the guerrilla marketeer
And a Community site playing a strengthening role into becoming a UbuntuSpreader while you are still excited about Ubuntu
SpreadUbuntu needs to go back to the spring of its inspiration:
Use the SpreadFirefox site (the one that is in the works) as our inspiration. Go something like Welcome to Spread Ubuntu - Home of the Ubuntu Marketing Community
Use this as a opportunity to move to Drupal6 and finally integrate our site to Launchpad. See this link for an example of that integration.
We have a testing site for this. If you want to contribute and need access (to the server and the drupal instance) contact me directly
- Our aim should be to make the DIY site the official www.ubuntu.com before the release of the Karmic Koala
Welcoming new contributors
- We need to be better at welcoming new contributors by making it clear that there are several way to contribute:
- As a marketing person
- Marketing side works on development of the marketing platform, campaigns and marketing content quality
- As a technical person
- Technical part of SU concentrate on DIY, Launchpad integration and concentrate on automatizing the platform as much as possible
- General non-tech, non-marketing-fancy, advocating person
Our community is infite if we let it be so. Let's just empower our UbuntuSpreaders with a platform and they will bring Ubuntu to every single corner of the world where our community exists.
And then we all must aim towards this: cooperate, exchange ideas, implement them together creating thus a real marketing community based on a technical platform.
- As a marketing person
Make proper use of our wiki and make it simple to access: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SpreadUbuntu
- Make changes that our wiki shows people the project needs and make it obvious for people where they can help our project out on the spot!
- Restructure our project in order to ease the time used from hearing about it and getting excited to actually contributing
Marketing
- Work on campaigns to promote Ubuntu and the site. Campaigns should concentrate on festivities and also be as much as possible connected with the Ubuntu release cycle
- Implement an event section (or use one that exists already like the one from the Fridge)
Upload this compilated material to the site
SpreadUbuntu spreading in identi.ca and other social sites
Technical Changes
- Adapt the site for campaign use (maybe adding tags or a campaign filed to the material pages and then sorting them somehow out?)
Contact the Canonical SysAdmins for a Rfc regarding the www.spreadubuntu.com and www.spreadubuntu.org domains and hosting

September 2008
Minutes from meeting 2008-09-14: Defined some goals:
How will the SU architecture be like? <- Flannel gave us a nice image to visualize it
SU should have a working prototype by the time Intrepid comes around (October 30th). (I will announce the availability of the site in Planet Ubuntu by that time - huayra)
AliTabuger7 has joined our team and is going to work in the Drupal 5 Theme
huayra and ShahriarTariq will work with the DB population and document compilation
- Flannel is working with the structure and design of the DB and the python "farther backend"
July 2008
Some conversations we have had until this point:
Marketing Team meeting discussing the team and defining the idea of SU as one of the main goals for the whole team
Elaborating on admin policy, viral marketing and a SU logo (mainly English, but some Spanish too) - pep, meisok and hubuntu
Elaborating on the DIY website and how it relates to the DIY part of SU - Flannel and owh
Discussion at #ubuntu-marketing on the team setup and elaborating some more in the DIY idea for SU
Clarifying the issue for the Spanish Speaking colaboration project and making plans for the SU DIY site and how it will work. '''mainly Spanish''' - Asked Beuno,part of the DIY website team, what it was and why it failed to materialize.
