Our website will be a public-facing web presence for our team, complementing our existing team-focused wikipages and our existing public web presence (microblogging, Facebook, etc.). The website will offer a venue for communicating with the general public, showcasing our community, and highlighting our advocacy efforts.

Website Contents

Collecting ideas for the launch of an Ubuntu California website.

Things we may want:

  • Main site Blog/News for announcements and event summaries (Use Wordpress? Drupal?)

  • Gallery2 or similar for single place for hosting files

  • Planet for aggregation of team member blogs

  • MicroBlogging timeline with SimplePie RSS parser.

  • Videos, team contributed or other relevant videos to our defined target audience, possibly hosting on miro using some kind of "channel" or maybe submit them under an author so one link will show a list of the ones we want to show. Implementation depends on what's possible with the existing system.

  • Add Yours!

The team is entitled to ca.ubuntu-us.org ubuntu-us-ca.org or ubuntu-us-ca.org or california.ubuntu-us.org via Canonical, but purchase of our own domain name may be of interest. In the event of a purchase, a domain would be purchased under an account which has at least 3 members of the team with access.

Option 1

Canonical offers web hosting for approved LoCo teams, details here: LoCoHosting

Option 2

Elizabeth Krumbach has offered to host on the ubuntu-us.org and ubuntupennsylvania.org Linode server running Ubuntu 8.04 (upgrade to 10.04 is pending):

  • Wordpress
  • Gallery2
  • Planet
  • DNS via Linode's DNS manager

Access via ssh to this server would be granted to at least one other trusted member of the team with sysadmin experience. This server was granted as a donation to the community by the great folks over at Linode.com.

Option 3

Add yours!
