Creating a Website for your LoCo Team

NEXT LOCO MEETING:Contents |
The purpose of this page is to create a central resource for finding information related to creating a LoCo website.
Canonical-hosted Sites
Hosting space on Canonical servers is available to approved LoCos. To see how a LoCo is approved, see LoCoGettingApproved. There are limitations to what applications may be hosted on the Canonical servers. If you are interested in Canonical-hosting, see LoCoHosting.
If you are interested in hosting your own sites, continue reading.
Decide on Content
Decide what content will reside on the website and what will be on the wiki. Creating content on the wiki allows information to be centralized and can be found easily by rest of the Ubuntu community. See the Colorado Team's ColoradoTeam/EnhancedLoCoWeb for what features could exist on the LoCo website.
A good example of using both the wiki and a separate LoCo website is the Australia Team:
Wiki-Page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam
LoCo-Website: http://ubuntu.org.au/
