-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everybody,
this question came up in the "How to run a Bug Jam" IRC session: "how do we best get the word out to people in our locos?" The LoCo world has grown from just a few enthusiasts in a couple of countries to fully-fledged city teams and LoCo teams in almost all the countries of the world. Most LoCo leaders are on the loco-contacts mailing list, but how many people in a random city of your LoCo (who don't read planet.ubuntu.com or the Fridge, etc) do find out about new intiatives or a world-wide event? Finding a simple answer to this question will give us lots of benefits: - World-wide participation in events like the Global Bug Jam, the Software Freedom day, more Ubuntu Release Parties and more participants in the "which LoCo organised the greatest/fanciest/most interesting event with the most participants/most handed out CDs/most served cups of coffee" contest - members of Ubuntu Paris will know about the great idea the Ubuntu Tehran team had and try it too Do we have a comprehensive list of Ubuntu news sites, mailing lists, forums, etc. in all LoCos? Also I'm interested in translations of announcements. If an English announcement was used on an Austrian Ubuntu site, it could be used on a German Ubuntu site too. How does a member of Ubuntu Jordan find out that an English announcement was already translated into Arabic by the Ubuntu Egypt team? Apart from more participation and activity on a city level, I reckon it'd help us a lot to bring together the various LoCo communities. There are obvious solutions to the technical side of the problem: - mailing list (yet another one? loco-news?) - RSS Feed (use Launchpad loco-news project plus "announcement" RSS Feed) - Wiki-based process. Do you think that anything like this would make sense? Who would be willing to participate in the project? How would we get a lot of city participation into it? Lots of questions. I'd appreciate your answers. :-) Have a nice day, Daniel - -- My 5 today: #225661 (samba), #241790 (libgail-gnome), #241699 (fakeroot), #159189 (usbutils), #241803 (xserver-xorg-video-geode) Do 5 a day - every day! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIX6HjRjrlnQWd1esRAiRsAJ9fFMLZvH2LLCkfMvc522c6gH/UQgCaAt0R XAOqGx38JWTZOPlDLJe69Fk= =Bsxc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
