A Fix for Ubuntu’s Marketing
One thing about open-source software that bothers me and, apparently, plenty of others too, based on the fact that this story has gotten 704 diggs so far, is how many open-source projects seem to market themselves to geeks and developers. Yesterday, I wrote about how KDE 4 did the marketing right, advertising the features users care about not the features developers care about. Today, a different post (Here is the original post, the site went down but the post is pasted into a comment at Digg.) that talks about how Ubuntu could improve their release marketing received a lot of attention. I absolutely agree that Ubuntu (and other projects) should make their marketing more eye-catching and user friendly and I came up with a possible way to make this happen in the future.
