This is a work in progress!! Feel free to add your ideas

Welcome! You have arrived to the wiki of the SpreadUbuntu team.

Our aim is

  • Not to be a general website, but a marketing website for Ubuntu marketeers to use

  • To serve the Ubuntu community with a centralized marketing material repository
  • To be a meeting point for Ubuntu related marketing activities
  • To drive the marketing effort within the Ubuntu community as a central part of the Marketing Team

We plan to materialize this in the form of a website: spreadubuntu.com

Want to help?

If you want to help us with this. See the Table of Contents and get down working! There is a lot to be done! Most of the ideas for this team and project are based in:

While we will take many concepts and ideas from them our SpreadUbuntu website will be based on our own implementation and conceptions. Feel free to [https://launchpad.net/~spreadubuntu/+join join our team], participate and work with each other to find our direction.

Projects

We have many ideas and we would like them to be narrowed to projects.

SpreadUbuntu.com

To build this site is the goal with this project. We will use drupal and we plan on getting the site hosted at Canonical

The Drupal frontend

  • When the compilation is ready, we will set up a branch in Launchpad for all the material (Time for this to happen? - propossed 14th of August 2008)
  • Our drupal code or changes will be uploaded to the LP branch as well as the material once a day.

  • The material will be organized in languages first, and secondly in regions/countries.
  • Drupal will use OpenID from Launchpad as the ONLY login option available (which means a Launchpad account for all users). Login WILL NOT be necessary for download of material, just for upload.
  • The Drupal site wioll be used as an incubation site for material. t will have its own BZR branch in LP, pulled once a day.
  • We will pull all materials from Launchpad once a day, after they are in "trunk" (which means they have passed the QA - Quality Assurance control)
  • Trunk material from launchpad will be tagged in drupal in order to organize it and make it easy to access

LaunchPad & SU

  • The Drupal code will be in Launchpad
  • Every single document added to our database will be under the BZR version control system
  • The Answer tracking system will help us gather questions on the material or request (translations, changes, corrections)
  • Rosetta will help us with the translation of the material
  • The marketing tag @ Brainstorm will be followed and added to our Answer tracker system in order to find relevant request wanted by users

Recolecting Material as of now

Framework

Find a collaboration framework with LoCos and other teams within the Ubuntu community.

  • A solution would be to contact every other team and ask them to implement a Marketing related page

  • Another way is to go around to LoCo wikis haunting for marketing material information sources

  • Get and upload the material itself (not only the links) here in the wiki.

Compile a list of LoCos and other teams which already have such a page or place

Viral Marketing

The idea is to make it simple for marketers out there to get access to the material ASAP after the material is available and have an easy way to upload changes (translations, improvements). We need, of course, several steps to get this done. http://www.oezratty.net/wordpress/wp-content/marketing-viral.png BR Image taken from http://www.oezratty.net/ - Opinions Libres
