Canonical have always said no money for advertising, that's not how they
do things or see where their budget can go, other locoteams raise the
funds themselves and get stuff done that way, but seeing as this is a
generic list and not a team list I would suggest concentrating on
getting marketing material out to new people or articles done up and
sent to journalists, or translated.
