Further ideas

  • wiki page with description of Marketing
    • Sell Xubuntu
  • Planet for xubuntu.org
    • Aggregate developer blogs
    • We can show titles only or complete posts
    • Okay as long as everybody posting is a Ubuntu Member (discussion with stgraber)
  • Moderated newsfeed aggregation?
    • Select feeds for aggregation
    • Parse out items that have keyword X in them
    • This way we'd be able to gather the Xubuntu news easy
    • We can also use feeds from Google...
  • Better titles for blog posts
  • Xubuntu tee shirts

  • Facebook and Twitter accounts have great impact on projects.

    • perhaps a youtube video about Xubuntu, make it grab attention
