| For quite some time now we have had some information about how to join the Ubuntu community at www.ubuntu.com/community. This documentation has traditionally been pretty limited, doesn’t really help get people started effectively, and doesn’t represent the humanity and personal nature of being part of the Ubuntu community. | We now have '''http://community.ubuntu.com''' as an entry point for new community members. We want to explain how to join the Ubuntu community, help get people started effectively, and represent the humanity and personal nature of being part of the Ubuntu community. |

| At UDS we had a great discussion about solving this problem. The challenge that we were faced with in refreshing this content is that the Canonical web team own these pages and have limited bandwidth for incorporating changes and improvements. As such we agreed to transition this content to a site where we can more readily make improvements and updates. | If you spot bugs or problems, please [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-community-website/+filebug|file a bug in Launchpad]]. |

| Michael Hall has deployed WordPress (which we agreed at UDS as our platform) with the Ubuntu theme to CanoniStack. We are now in a position where we have the skeleton of the site and we want to produce some awesome content tuned to the needs of new community members, as well as other content for our entire community (such as information about governance and the code of conduct). | If you are interested in taking care of a certain part of the website, maybe the page of your team, reach out to the [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-community-website-admins|Ubuntu Community Website Admins]]. |

| To get this content in shape we have created a series of pages on pad.ubuntu.com for each page of content and we are transferring our existing content to these pages. We as a community can then collaborate on these pages and ensure they are crisp, concise, and provide all the information we need. When these pages are complete we can then transition them to the WordPress instance. When the content is there we will then ask the Canonical IS team to deploy it. | == Writing/Maintaining articles == |

| To get this content in shape, on '''Thursday 13th Dec 2012''' we are going to be holding a documentation jam to work together and get this content refined and finalized. This is how it works: | * be concise, don't overwhelm potential new contributors with too much information * be welcoming * explain what your team does and is there for * mention the most relevant steps to get involved * maybe mention some tips and tricks * don't copy too much information from other places * don't post information which is subject to frequent change |

| 1. You can see the list of pages and the links to the pads below. 2. We will spend the day working on the content, refining and improving it and ensuring there are no typos. All the content should be writting using Markdown format; this makes it simple to write and merge into the WordPress site. For how to format your content with Markdown, see http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax. 3. We will coordinate this work in the #ubuntu-doc channel. The day after we will then move the completed content over to the WordPress site and finalize any stylistic changes. We should then be in good shape to get things moved over to production. == Legend == Each section below has a reported status: || '''Legend''' || ||<#C8C8C8> Unknown || ||<#FF9999> In progress || ||<#FFFF99> Needs Review || ||<#9999FF> Needs copying (to test instance) || ||<#AAFFAA> Done || = Front page = || '''Text title''' || '''Link to pad''' || '''Status''' || '''Contact''' || '''Comment''' || || Front page || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-frontpage ||<#FF9999> In Progress || Ayrton Araújo || - || || News and events || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-frontpage-news ||<#FF9999>In Progress || Ayrton Araújo || - || || How do I know what I want to work on? || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-frontpage-findarea ||<#FF9999>In Progress || Ayrton Araújo || - || || || || || || || = Contribute = || '''Text title''' || '''Link to pad''' || '''Status''' || '''Contact''' || '''Comment''' || || Contribute || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute ||<#FF9999> In Progress || Ayrton Araújo || - || || Developers || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-developers ||<#FFFF99> Needs Review || Daniel Holbach || || || Documentation || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-documentation ||<#FFFF99> Needs Review || Daniel Holbach || || || --(Artwork)-- || --(http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-artwork)-- ||<#C8C8C8> Unknown || Daniel Holbach || Can be merged with Design according to `yaili` || || Design || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-design ||<#FF9999> In Progress || Daniel Holbach || Yaili is looking into it || || Translations || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-translations ||<#FFFF99> Needs Review || Daniel Holbach || ACKed by Translations team, needs final review || || Support || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-support ||<#C8C8C8> Unknown || ? || - || || Quality || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-quality ||<#C8C8C8> Unknown || ? || - || || Advocacy || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-advocacy ||<#FFFF99> Needs Review || Randall Ross || - || = Help and information = || '''Text title''' || '''Link to pad''' || '''Status''' || '''Contact''' || '''Comment''' || || Help and information || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help ||<#FF9999> In Progress || Ayrton Araújo || - || || Finding help || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help-find ||<#C8C8C8> Unknown || ? || - || || → Documentation || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help-find-documentation ||<#C8C8C8> Unknown || ? || - || || → Support || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help-find-support ||<#C8C8C8> Unknown || ? || - || || Keeping up to date || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help-keepup ||<#FFFF99> Needs Review || Randall Ross || - || || → News || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help-keepup-news ||<#FFFF99> Needs Review || Randall Ross || - || || → Community blogs || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help-keepup-blogs ||<#FFFF99> Needs Review || Randall Ross || - || || → Ubuntu on air || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help-keepup-onair ||<#FFFF99> Needs Review || Daniel Holbach || has José's approval, needs final review || || Meeting other Ubuntu users || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help-meeting ||<#FFFF99> Needs Review || Randall Ross || - || || → Local user groups || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help-meeting-locos ||<#FF9999> In progress || Daniel Holbach || - || = Community structure = || '''Text title''' || '''Link to pad''' || '''Status''' || '''Contact''' || '''Comment''' || || Community structure || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-structure ||<#C8C8C8> Unknown || ? || - || || Governance || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-structure-governance ||<#FF9999> In progress || Daniel Holbach || - || || Code of conduct || http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-structure-coc ||<#FF9999> In progress || Daniel Holbach || - || = Open questions = * Does http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-frontpage-findarea overlap with http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-frontpage and http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute - we should try to identify how we want people to go through this information. * We need to clearly distinguish between http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-help-keepup-news and http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-frontpage-news |

community.ubuntu.com - for everyone!
We now have http://community.ubuntu.com as an entry point for new community members. We want to explain how to join the Ubuntu community, help get people started effectively, and represent the humanity and personal nature of being part of the Ubuntu community.
Helping out
If you spot bugs or problems, please file a bug in Launchpad.
If you are interested in taking care of a certain part of the website, maybe the page of your team, reach out to the Ubuntu Community Website Admins.
Writing/Maintaining articles
When writing articles, bear the following points in mind:
- be concise, don't overwhelm potential new contributors with too much information
- be welcoming
- explain what your team does and is there for
- mention the most relevant steps to get involved
- maybe mention some tips and tricks
- don't copy too much information from other places
- don't post information which is subject to frequent change
Let's keep this page high-quality, interesting, engaging and welcoming together. For many folks who are new to Ubuntu this will be THE landing page to get started.
