[osol-mktg] Re: [ug-discuss] Community Consolidation -- Marketing & UGs

[Bruno F. Souza]

On the UG community, we could include the Mkt content as a clearly  
separated, on the top, and merge it with any general content for  
supporting the creation and run of UGs.

The question then becomes: if someone comes looking for OS User  
Groups, they will know how to find. Now, if someone comes looking for  
material to promote OS? Will they find it at the UGs Community? Will  
this be obvious?
