Has anyone mentioned the marketing team yet?

You might contact Jenda and ask him about it; if I remember right, he's part of the crew.

Perhaps try capturing yourself running Beryl or some such. Get some decent OSS video editing software to make it "Commercial"-like and post it to youtube. It's pretty much free advertising space

I *was* on the marketing team, and I don't agree with the way they handle a lot of things. I think it's better for small dedicated groups to handle individual projects rather than to leave it in the hands of the Ubuntu Marketing team.

Allowing things to just happen is sometimes the best thing a community can do. Who knows what will become popular? If someone puts out a crazy video with all sorts of advanced customization, people will be inspired to try linux, to try to get things to work - theres plenty of documentation on these forums for novice users to get their systems working. I strongly consider the spread of ¨BERYL / COMPIZ INTENSE DESKTOPSZ VIDEO¨on youtube the best form of viral marketting linux has ever seen. Essentially the plan is, we need an Ubuntu branded stream of these videos, that also showcase its simple, and eloquent side as an alternative to windows. What will seperate our video from the ¨BERYL / COMPIZ INTENESE DESKTOPZ VIDEO¨??? We will use actors and scripts, and do some clever / funny things!!

Heres the steps

1) Ubuntu branded youtube commercials that are funny, showcase the flexibility from a novice user as well as a power useres perspective, not just another beryl/compiz video, branded specifically with ubuntu

2) We get some excellent commercials together, and upload the best picks to youtube and get the entire Ubuntu community to rate them up so they become mainstream, front page youtube videos.

3) PROFIT !!!!!

I´d like to talk to the marketting team?
