Dear marketing team, my name is Dominik Wagenfuehr and I'm the team leader of the news portal Ikhaya of the official German ubuntu forum [1]. As in most cases our team is not paid for its work and we do most of it in our free time. This leads to the situation that the greater German news portals [2] [3] [4] are always faster than we can post something. So if they post some Ubuntu news we need to "rewrite" their text and link to them. Some users think that is is a little bit confusing since we are the official Ubuntu forum. They ask why we do not know this news before others.
So we thought maybe it's possible to create a better connection between the Canonical/Ubuntu marketing team and the German news team so that we can post Ubuntu news when they are really happening. We think it would be better if the Ubuntu users read the news in an offical portal instead of on some third-hand news site. Of course we are reading the Ubuntu news [5] but most times we read it later than others. So is there a way we could work together in better way? To say it straight to the point: Is it possible to receive Ubuntu news before there are launched on the Ubuntu news website or at least the same time other professional news sites can access them?
