Hi folks - There has been some talk about a press/media initiative. Ben Duivesteyn, one of the members of the amazing Australian LoCo team, is working along these lines already. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Letter_to_APC for more details. I think Ben's efforts are great and are a perfect example of the kind of impact a distributed community can having - making a difference where you live. Great work! One of the things that the Marketing Team could help with is pulling together a How To or Resource Guide or email templates for other LoCo teams to help do this, as well as communicating with the LoCo teams to let them know of the initiative. There are inter-team relationships to be formed to make this happen successfully, but I think it is reasonable for the Marketing Team to think of ways they can help the other Ubuntu teams as well as marketing directly to people outside the Ubuntu Community (a la the SpreadUbuntu campaign). Working with other Ubuntu teams can take the form of providing resources to them, as well as finding and spreading good marketing ideas and materials that already exist in pockets of the community.
