First: it is called SpreadUbuntu (SU for short). Don't mix it up with the former project, we just love the name, changing the concept a bit. It is a site aiming two audiences: the excited new user and anyone willing to solve Bug #1. Although the visitor will see it as a whole, we actually have two sub-projects, that we will call site and diy, SU being it all. (Again: forget about what used to be DIYWebsite, etc...) So that's for the naming. The site part will be accessed via [http://www.spreadubuntu.com www.spreadubuntu.com] (currently still pointing to ubuntu.com) and the diy part will be transparently integrated in the site part. However, for the experienced marketeer, not interested in the site part, a subdomain, [http://diy.spreadubuntu.com diy.spreadubuntu.com], will directly point to the diy part. All clear? Let's see what these parts consist of then... First: it is called SpreadUbuntu (SU for short). Don't mix it up with the former project, we just love the name, changing the concept a bit.

''(in progress...)'' The Site part is very much like the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Projects/SpreadUbuntu former SpreadUbuntu project]. It aims to ease the excited new user from exploring the community straight to spreading Ubuntu in his locality.

= Our aim is =
 * '''Not to be a general website, but a marketing website for Ubuntu marketeers to use'''
 * To serve the Ubuntu community with a centralized marketing material repository
 * To be a meeting point for Ubuntu related marketing activities
 * To drive the marketing effort within the Ubuntu community as a central part of the Marketing Team
We plan to materialize this in the form of a website: '''spreadubuntu.com'''		 The diy part is actually a dynamic repository, for posters, artwork, presentations, flyers and general marketing and/or community resources. It is inspired by the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/DIYWebsite former DIYWebsite project]. The visitor can rapidly access all material through a classification/filtering system with several criteria, and furthermore, it enables anyone to easily contribute by uploading new documents or translating existent ones in their language. For details, we work on diy [:MarketingTeam/SpreadUbuntu/diy:here].

To get dirty, we have created a [https://launchpad.net/~spreadubuntu/ working group] inside the marketing team, of which we are still fully part of. The group has decided that for now, the priority is not the Site, but diy. This does not proscribe anyone from starting its development in parallel, but the team focus will stay diy for now.

This is a work in progress!! Feel free to add your ideas

Welcome! You have arrived to the wiki of the SpreadUbuntu team.

What is SpreadUbuntu?

The Idea we are trying to make a reality has been taken up many times. Always in a slightly different way, with different goals, under different names. So what is this project exactly? I will now explain what SU will eventually be, and what it will eventually consist of, this is the long-term, global conception.

First: it is called SpreadUbuntu (SU for short). Don't mix it up with the former project, we just love the name, changing the concept a bit. It is a site aiming two audiences: the excited new user and anyone willing to solve Bug #1. Although the visitor will see it as a whole, we actually have two sub-projects, that we will from now on call Site and diy, SU being it all. (Again: forget about what used to be DIYWebsite, etc...) So that's for the naming. The site part will be accessed via [http://www.spreadubuntu.com www.spreadubuntu.com] (currently still pointing to ubuntu.com) and the diy part will be transparently integrated in the site part. However, if you're not interested in the site part, a subdomain, [http://diy.spreadubuntu.com diy.spreadubuntu.com], will directly point to the diy part. All clear? Let's see what these parts consist of then...

While we will take a lot of concepts and ideas from them, our SpreadUbuntu website will be based on our own implementation and conceptions. Feel free to [https://launchpad.net/~spreadubuntu/+join join our team], participate and work with each other to find our direction.
