I'm interested in helping to set up an Ubuntu marketing project, covering:

 * Promotion/advocacy.
 * Stakeholder research - i.e. finding out what users, the FOSS community, upstream projects, the Ubuntu community, Canonical and everyone else wants from want another and the project, and how we can best deliver that.
 * Developing stakeholder relationships
 * Other areas of marketing that become relevant.

Obviously this would need to tie in with Canonical's plans and those of the wider Ubuntu community. If anyone's interested I suggest we develop this page. Also, feel free to mail me at ubuntu AT understated DOT co DOT uk

 * Provide resources that enable positive and accurate press coverage with a long reach
 * Develop long-standing stakeholder relationships that encourage open dialogue and deeper understanding
 * Remain approachable by all members of the general public, regardless of technical ability

The process of brainstorming, developing, progressing, constructing, deploying, supporting, measuring and applying quality control to, all activities related to marketing remains within the focus of this group. The particular vehicle(s) chosen to implement these activities may range from printed media to electronic media, conferences and presentations to games and competitions.
