Hi there! We're trying to get the good people at Stack Exchange to create a community Ubuntu users and developers question and answer site built on their platform and hosted for free by them (with all the content being CC licensed). As part of the proposal process we need to get people to visit the following page and click on the "Commit!" button, signalling that this is a website they would like to use, should it be created: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/7716/ubuntu?referrer=qQssWsN94hKB49QQOgt7xA2 If you're curious as to what this will look like once accepted, then there are already a few sites in public beta that you can explore: http://webapps.stackexchange.com/ http://gaming.stackexchange.com/ Thanks to some really lovely people in the community, we've already had coverage on Ubuntu Forums <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1529644>, the Design Team blog <http://design.canonical.com/2010/07/vote-now-for-a-more-supportive-future/>, and OMG! Ubuntu! <http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/vote-now-for-awesome-new-ubuntu-help.html>. But as I explain in my blog post <http://evand.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/nearly-there/>, we need to reach out further into the community and let the boots-on-the-ground Ubuntu users know what we're all trying to do, and how they can help be a part of it by going to the proposal website and clicking on the "Commit!" button. This is where you come in. :) If this project excites you as much as it does for me, wont you please tell your LoCo teams about it. Feel free to use your own referral link (Stack Exchange has a spectacularly fun reward / badges system) that you can generate by signing up and then clicking on "Share This" on the proposal page. Lets work together to make this something truly spectacular that brings even more Ubuntu users into the fold and gives them a means of getting really high quality responses to their questions and continuous encouragement to help others. Thanks for your time. -- loco-contacts mailing list loco-conta...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
