Who uses the fridge?

Here we define who the target users of the fridge are and how we can best serve each. During an IRC meeting in #ubuntu-website on Dec 17th 2008 nand, boredandblogging and newz2000 created this information.

• locos - want to know what other locos are doing
• insiders - trying to stay in touch with what's going on
• outsiders / press - looking for use cases or success stories about Ubuntu

Not a target audience:

• People who don't know what Ubuntu is
