Paul,
I am trying to understand what you are suggesting. I believe your
example "Ubuntu-libre" is a good one.
Forgive me as I have not researched this effort but my limited
understanding is this project is Ubuntu Linux Gnome packaged with FSF
software{?}.
Here are my questions for this effort.
1. How will folks come to learn of this product?
2. Will it always and only be Gnome? What about KDE & XFCE & others?
3. Who will decide on the branding?
To your next question as to the purpose of the Marketing Team?
The Ubuntu web site says "promote Ubuntu to a wider audience ...". I
don't know where those words came from.
My question ...
1. How would we know it's working?
2. What exactly does the word Ubuntu mean? Community or product? If
product is it one in particular or all? If all what does all mean?
>From where I sit the road we are on is the one you described as "Create
confusion in the minds of your victims".
Why is that, Ubuntu-libre! How will this product or products enter the
mix? Will the Ubuntu home page have another related project title
"fUbuntu" for FSF Ubuntu? :)
What this all boils down to is anyone looking out for Ubuntu as a whole
or is Ubuntu really just a collection of projects operating under the
principle "may the best project win"?
There is an old saying in the business world. More businesses explode to
failure than any other way.
Controlling growth is difficult and that's where we are at.
I suggest marketing is more than just spreading the word.
Did I miss the point?
John
BTW: My thoughts on branding are here.
