New York Times advertisement for Ubuntu

[Martin Owens]

It's a good idea on paper,

> Maybe this is something each LoCo could do for their own local
> $BigNewspaper, in addition to a community-wide ad in $MajorNewspapers
> like the NYT.

And it's got some good elements but there are a number of problems: 1)
In MA we would need to organise the project, generate content, contact
all the firms and get prices and collect pretty large sums of money
from each of our members because we're not an incorporated group we
won't get any discounts for being non-profit or charity and we'll have
no negotiation power. It'll be a slaughter I have no doubt but if
people are willing to put up the money then so be it.

> What we need is a TV commercial!

There are some good ideas for a TV advert, but we need to see them
made flesh and up on YouTube; we can then think about setting up a
similar project as above.
