I agree with Shane. I like to idea to some degree; but 'Sent from
Ubuntu' isn't quite the right wording. In fact maybe, this just simply
shouldn't be done by default. A lot of people here obviously see a
problem with it.

Something I've noticed lately is that there's not really a central
community advocacy front like SpreadFirefox. Yeah sure, there's
'SpreadUbuntu' (http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/), but it's not really
well known, or on a standard domain like www.spreadubuntu.com (that URL
currently redirects to www.ubuntu.com). Perhaps we need that. Then those
that wish to participate in advocacy of Ubuntu could go there, and maybe
then there'd be a blog or forum or something, and then things like
'Advertise Ubuntu in your e-mail sig!' are suggested for people to opt-
in *on an individual basis*. One immediate benefit I see is that you
might end up with many clever or at least unique sigs, likely to get
more attention than a hundred bland 'Sent From Ubuntu's.

Community advocacy in Ubuntu needs much more work to be honest; I'd much
rather see Canonical look more at what they could do to improve
community advocacy than force it on users that may not want it.
