Mark Shuttleworth On Ubuntu's Lack Of Marketing

Posted by timothy on from the marketing-as-pejorative dept.

The LugRadio team writes "In the latest episode of LugRadio, the fortnightly Linux radio show, the team interview Mark Shuttleworth, head of the Ubuntu project. Mark talks about where Ubuntu is going, how (and whether) Canonical plan to make any money on the Ubuntu project, his role in the project, and (most importantly) why marketing isn't a good thing and what they're doing instead."

    why marketing isn't a good thing

    Marketing 101:

    Some marketing is a good thing. For example:

    Who is Mark Shuttleworth, and why should I care.
    Who/what is Ubintu, and why should I care?
    What's Lugradio? Do I really need to download and listen to a big audio file to find out why I should care?
