I disagree. The very first thing is to look at what the goal is. Only once you know the goal, target audience, approach, method of delivery and so on can you begin to look at content. I'm personally of the opinion that now is not the time to create a TV advert, and that the money/time could be better spent on other things, but its not my place to tell people what to do. > Somewhere to host the project - Ideally a blog or website > A paypal account, so viewers can donate funds to the cause > Somewhere to talk about it. > We have considerable resources to help this kind of marketing effort already. We have a wiki and a collaborative editor:- http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/ We have a marketing mailing list and irc channel:- https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing #ubuntu-marketing on irc.freenode.net We also have sites where content can be shared:- http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/ > Such as an IRC channel/mailing list/forum, just so it's not just restricted > to Ubuntu-uk, and also so any skeptics or people who don't want to > participate don't get annoyed by the sheer volume of threads about the > advert (which is what seems to be happening at the moment) > If it is an Ubuntu UK LoCo project then I'd encourage you to use the resources available - including this list. > The more the merrier.
