I think you have an excellent point. I notice though, that although
the more technical Windows user I meet does now, often, actually know
of the existence of Ubuntu, it is still most unlikely that the general
users of Windows will even have heard about it. I would really welcome
a slightly higher profile of (UK) marketing and publicity, aimed at
informing that an alternative 'exists'. The idea of 'Roadshows' has
come to mind..... not something to be done single handed though?
I would feel a bit more encouraged if Canonical were to put a tiny bit
of effort into raising the profile. The time is ripe as you say, Alan.
Look at the really annoying adverts that Microsoft put on the Linux Mag
e-pages. A similar effort from Canonical would not cost the earth and
would raise interest. Add to that the potential army of volunteers like
us who would give loads of time to the follow up .... Canonical; if
you are listening - don't miss the opportunity.
