True, Ubuntu is about people as much as it is about technology. When you
talk about advertising you need to know your target audience, though it also
counts for instance when you are writing teaching materials for users that
are just beginning with Ubuntu. I wrote about that last week:

It's in Dutch but I will translate it in English somewhere next week (Google
Translate is doing a decent job for thos who can not wait:

Take care
