Xubuntu marketing and promotion

Welcome to the Xubuntu Marketing wiki. This page is a starting point for all the marketing projects ongoing or planned in Xubuntu. To get involved, add your ideas under the Future ideas -header and get in touch with us at #xubuntu-devel on Freenode.

Current projects

• Stickers
  • High-quality custom round Xubuntu stickers can be made at moo.com

  • Further discussion on Xubuntu/Marketing/Products

• Fliers for conferences with details about Xubuntu

  • Multiple formats (Color, B&W, full and halfsheets)

  • Further discussion on Xubuntu/Marketing/Flyers

• Xubuntu t-shirts
  • Other products? Do we want to set up a store? Any licensing or other concerns?

  • Further discussion on Xubuntu/Marketing/Products

• Define the Xubuntu target audience
  • Beginners are usually lost, intermediate and advanced users do well (is this true?)
  • Many configuration options
  • Defaults are not for the beginner (true?)

  • Incorporate this to the Strategy Document.

Future ideas

• wiki page with description of Marketing
  • Sell Xubuntu

• Planet for xubuntu.org, rather make contributors write directly to the site

• Moderated newsfeed aggregation?
  • Select feeds for aggregation
  • Parse out items that have keyword X in them
  • This way we'd be able to gather the Xubuntu news easy
  • We can also use feeds from Google...

• Facebook and Twitter accounts have great impact on projects.

  • perhaps a youtube video about Xubuntu, make it grab attention
