Ok I'll try to respond to all the comments in one go:
As I mentioned in my first post I have read various
discussions on the
possibility of setting up a Spread Ubuntu site in a similar
vain as
spread firefox. This includes spending some time reading the
discussions
at the Marketing Team wiki. These discussions seem to have
been going on
for a long time and I just wanted to get on with something.
Too much
talking and not enough doing. The number of people and
suggestions
involved seems to have bogged things down. I thought, why
not get
something out there and go from there, being open to
suggestions. After
all isn't that the open source way?
Just to be clear, my intention for the site is for it to be
a place for
people to discuss promotion ideas and in time, access
resources to do
such promotion. The intention is not for the site itself to
market
Ubuntu. A site called Get Ubuntu (yes i realise there is a
section for
this on ubuntu.com) would be a possibility for this with
just a simple
short list of why you would want it/what's good about it and
how to get it.
I've used a .co.uk domain name because it was the only
decent one
available. I plan to make it clear on the site that its
meant to be
international despite the domain. My thought was that in
future if the
site is successful it may be allowed to use the .com
Thanks to Alan I'm now using the Ubuntu theme for Drupal so
the site
matches ubuntu.com however there's still some tweaking to do
with the
layout.
I take the point about using the Ubuntu forums rather than
creating
another one but it just seemed to me that its mainly
dedicated to support.
