I would to see a marketing team forum created. Ideally it would have the prefix marketing.

For mods, list DPic (Danny Piccillro)

There actually was a project to do this, back in the 2005/2006 timeframe (I would have to dig through my email to find when). Basically it was an installer slideshow using Flash to showcase cool new...

Would the Fridge not be a good venue for posting at least some of your stuff? It already has readership.

FreeBSD, for all that it is great (or not, having never tried it), lacks the developer community. As such, you will lack applications, drivers, etc. All of these things make making a truly rocking OS...

Three distinct bugs there.

1.Where this should be fixed is an interesting question that I suspect the DE and X people are just ignoring because each thinks the other should solve it. I have no...

As I have announced on the Fridge (http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1279), we need more people to help write the Recipe chapter of the Ubuntu book. These recipes are little short pieces of advice and...

Vino, the GNOME VNC server, is already there. I does need some more development work, however. The 2nd option is to build something on top of Telepathy tubes. The last option is the new Mango Lassi....

Easy file sharing is coming. See the spec:

The real fix to this issue is to merge the capplets into each other, in a more logical manner, thus having less of them. Upstream is already doing this.

Kubuntu uses exactly the same kernel as Ubuntu. As do Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Studio, etc.

There are many great ways to contibute. This page ( http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate ) is a good place to start browsing for teams that already exist.

The only thing that CNR offers beyond the Add/Remove tool at the bottom of the Applications menu is marketing. Because it is a seperate product, not tied to a distro, they can market it as such,...

The website (ubuntu.com) was done internally. However, the artwork is stock photography and stuff from outside agencies. This means that the Adobe metadata may actually merely from the outside photo...

This is a rockingly great idea and should be merged into the nearly almost complete DIY website various people have been working on. You can view the nearly complete code at diy.devubuntu.org.

Talking about Gutsy Gibbon has already begun. Actual development will likely being a day or so after Feisty releases and becomes 7.04.

Feisty Fawn article is being written at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyFawn/RC. Feel free to help out with writing it.

For the non documentation style articles, absolutely. For the documentation, we must be providing consistently good advice. The style guide is more about what to recommend, rather than how to write...

Pretty much. Any time they either use the work or create a derivative work of your stuff, you must be credited and they must release it under the same license.

Mike,

I referred to the Ubuntu Documentation Style Guide for those articles which are, in fact, documentation, such as the installation of a program, etc. The style guide also only refers to what...

Yep, a lot of people choose the NC licenses because "they don't want people making money off my stuff", without realized exactly how bad the NC licenses truly are. Further, preventing people from...

I would use the CCbysa3.0, as it allows the most freedom while still having the author credited. Avoid the -nc licenses like the plague. They prevent ALL selling of anything the content has touched,...

I am a little baffled by this. Are you talking about using the wiki or your editing policies in general?

Corey

I think you and I are working on different assumptions. People are not going to be editing the articles on the wiki for malicious purposes. If there is a strong disagreement about an article, there...

I wanted to mention why the marketing team uses the wiki and why it is so important. As my join date will tell you, I have been around Ubuntu for a long time. Long enough, in fact, to see many great...

Rob/Linuxgeekery,

Reading through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/Issue1/InstallingBanshee I noticed a bunch of things that violate the DocumentationTeam's style guide, such as using...
