||'''Table of Contents'''<
> <>|| In order to promote the use of the Ubuntu Software Center among users, and to promote upstream applications among Ubuntu users, we are beginning a campaign to get "Download for Ubuntu" buttons on the Download pages of upstream websites. {{http://developer.ubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/downloadonubuntubutton.png}} Below is a list of the top 100 applications in the Software Center. Pick one and contact the upstream developers with the provided HTML snippet. Explain what it will do, and that it will help make their application easier to install for Ubuntu users. Be sure to put your name in the last column so that others know you are working on it, and remove the row once you know the button has been added. == List of Upstream Targets == || '''App''' || '''Button Snippet''' (copy/paste this) || '''Working on it''' || || boinc-manager || {{{

They did agree to add apt:// link on site. One more reason was that non-Ubuntu users won't press on the button anyway because it says "Download for Ubuntu". They agreed to talk on this subject with the others members. || Lilian A.

It also means that we can show people the ratings and reviews and other potential features for non-Ubuntu users. {*} '''Q:''' '''Will this image change in the (close) future? '''(for example: new design; dynamic image for i10n; etc...) Because at the moment it links to a (non dynamic) image from an upload wordpress folder, and future changes will mean, with the current link, must contact again every project site. {*} '''A:''' #TODO : what to answer if the contact from the project ask us this? {*} '''Q:''' '''Now that the [[http://developer.ubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/downloadonubuntubutton.png|button image]] 404s, what should users use instead?
