Canonical Bolsters Partner Strategy for Ubuntu Linux
Friday, September 5th, 2008
Canonical is taking three small but significant steps to build a partner channel for Ubuntu Linux. The VAR Guy stumbled upon the strategy during a surprise visit to Canonical’s offices near Boston. Here’s the scoop.
During a visit to OnForce, which operates an online marketplace for solutions providers, The VAR Guy popped his head into the neighboring offices of Canonical. While there, he picked up some marketing materials from the Ubuntu Linux promoter.
The materials had three key messages, written for:
- Solutions providers (VARs, integrators, etc.)
- System builders (white box PC makers)
- Partners, customers and consumers seeking training
