We're here to promote Ubuntu's uptake in various ways, all in essence being ways of telling people who want to hear what we have to offer, listening to what they need and trying to identify just that in Ubuntu.
Remember: we market Ubuntu, we do not make it more marketable as a priority. Just about every other team does however, so please pick the appropriate team for suggestions.

All Ubuntu users are/can be a part of its marketing effort. We hope to support them to be able to participate in local marketing, which is what we need most. The Marketing Team itself cannot reach out to every single spot on earth and approach individuals - but the LoCos can, and the Marketing Team can save each of these a lot of redundant work by doing some of it centrally, globally.

Ubuntu [http://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/1 Bug #1] is our inspiration and its final bugfix is our final goal. Spreading all Free Software is within the interest of the Team, and Ubuntu among that is its main focus.

Scope

We're working to define what the Marketing Team is responsible for and how we can best work to market Ubuntu.

In the past, the responsibilities of the team have been defined as:

  • Provide a unified front to enable the proliferation of the Ubuntu distribution, inclusive of all marketing activities
  • Creatively advocate and positively promote the Ubuntu distribution on behalf of the Ubuntu community
  • Understand and respond to the requirements of individuals interested in migrating to the Ubuntu distribution, make it easier for others to do so.
  • Understand the need to find zero-cost and cost-effective awareness strategies that allow for unlimited scalability
  • 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
  • Remain an 'open' team, understanding that a perfect marketing team recognises that all users are potential advocates
  • Be prepared to change and mould to the waves of market forces whilst resolute in our founding principles
  • Respect and incorporate the views of the one another, the FOSS and Ubuntu community, Canonical Ltd and all users
  • Ensure professionalism and Quality of Service at all times
