I am not a marketing expert, but words like 'Linux', 'FLOSS' might be frightening people. 'Opensource', 'Ardour' and 'Ubuntu' (and probably Creative Commons) are words which lay much better in 'the market'...<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I cannot begin to describe how much I disagree with "rebranding" what is being done to make it go big. Sure "open source" is a nice term, and "create commons" is too, but one should stand with what it is that your *actually doing*, and dimming it down for people getting into the scene is not going to improve the situation in the long run. Turning them into a veteran linux audio guys: that's a better goal. <br>
<br>Restating: I disagree with the idea of "marketing" names for what we do. People will be draw to the comunity *because* of what we do, not because of *how we brand* what we do.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
The guys from LMMS for example (as other projects), could mention that account when posting a message.<br>
'LMMS 0.9 is out! Grab it at <a href="http://lmms.org" target="_blank">http://lmms.org</a> #lmms #opensourceaudio @opensourceaudio'<br></blockquote><div><br>That's not a bad idea. And its being done already to some degree, check <span class="screen-name screen-name-linuxsound pill">@linuxsound, it posts links to all LAU mails. If we done the same for the LAA list, that might suffice for the "Grab it here" style messages?<br>
