I put this together...what do you guys think? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kristian Erik Hermansen <[hidden email]> Date: Oct 24, 2007 8:32 AM Subject: New York Times advertisement for Ubuntu To: [hidden email] We really need to have a New York Times advertisement. It worked for Firefox and you will find my name (and 10,000 others) on the first advertisement shown below... http://www.mozilla.org/press/mozilla-2004-12-15.html So, we need to round up 10,000 people to make small donations, just as Mozilla did, to raise public awareness outside of the Linux scene. The way Mozilla did this was to get a great deal from the New York Times on a two page advertisement that would run 'on-the-fly' and was not scheduled for any particular date. The was this works is presumably when the NYT determines that they have a low ad time-period, they will select to run your ad at a discounted price. Here are the details for contacting them regarding advertising costs. Also, if anyone could speak with the Mozilla team to find out how they did it, and how they would do it if they had another chance, please contact them. http://www.nytimes.whsites.net/mediakit/contacts.html I think this ad should go out before the end of the year, but maybe Mozilla could give us some pointers on when the best time to do this would be? How about for the next release of Hardy Heron? Or maybe SABDFL has a better idea?
