Hi all, (Jono and Matthew cc:ed)
A thread on the -uk list has highlighted the recent poor publicity that Ubuntu has had as a result of the recent problems with the local community run servers, in particular on slashdot (http://it.slashdot.org/it/07/08/15/1341224.shtml). Does the marketing team have any ideas about a possible way to respond to this publicity? The recent article in the UWN includes one sentence which attempts to do that, but it's not a very comprehensive response. One idea might be to post an article on the Fridge with an honest explanation and detail of what was done to solve the problem, and (if applicable) how it could have been avoided with regular security updates, as freely provided by the Ubuntu team. See for example: http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=270335&cid=20236563 http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=270335&cid=20236611 What do people think? Can bad publicity can be turned into good publicity? -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
