Key Details

Roadmap

  • Team meeting - Last meeting the 22th June 2010. We try to have one meeting every two months to talk to the community about our actions and the future events.

  • New Design - We are working on a new design for our sites (screenshots and project page. This design is for all our web tools (drupal, dokuwiki, fluxbb, planet) and also with different colors to all our flavours (kubuntu-fr.org, xubuntu-fr.org, edubuntu-fr.org). Next year we plan to switch to the new branding for the colors and logos.

  • Ubuntu Party - We are listing, helping and organizing Ubuntu Parties in France for each Ubuntu releases http://ubuntu-party.org/

  • Ubuntu Release Party - For each releases we invite all the French community to organize smaller events just after the release like a restaurant, a meeting in a bar or other place.

  • Ubuntu Global Jam - We plan to participate to this jam in Paris and Toulouse. We already are looking for a venue and people who can explain how to contribute in bug triage and in the French documentation. We plan to make a testing jam also.

  • floss involvement - The French Team is involved in French groups in the floss advocacy, and participate in all linux and floss events who invite us.

  • Ubuntu French LiveCD - We try to automate the creation of our French live CD. The project is on Launchpad and we want to share it with all the others Locoteams who want to make a localized liveCD like us. We plan to produce a French LiveCD with all the programs and examples in French in the Live session for the Ubuntu 10.10. For the 10.04 we already produced 9000 CDs, we want to break this record for the next one.

  • Ubuntu-fr T-Shirts - We try to produce a new t-shirt with a new design for the Ubuntu 10.10 release. Like the other times, we give this new t-shirt to all the benevolent people who are helping on our Ubuntu Party.

  • Ubuntu-fr marketing kit - To help all the French Ubuntu user groups, we try to make a pack with a ubuntu-fr banner, stickers, flyers, and perhaps some other marketing goodies.

  • Ubuntu-fr members - To improve the links in our French community, we are creating a new status similar to the Ubuntu members. We also are trying to make more links with the French Ubuntu user groups and help all the users to create if they want a group in their cities.
