SwissPortal
A Swiss Ubuntu Linux portal
What do to with the ubuntu.ch domain? I suggest setting up a portal with links to different ressources --TormodVolden
Please help with the ["/Draft"]. When it's ready, we'll make nice html out of it and put in up on www.ubuntu-ch.org and eventually www.ubuntu.ch
SwissTeam. Leave all community activites here. Just mention on the portal, but "force" people to go to the wiki for actual information: local contacts persons for support and info, mailing lists, IRC etc
- Support ressources de/fr/it/en
- Swiss Linux sites:
- Ubuntu Marketplace for commercial support
- ubuntu the UN project/site for those looking for something completely different
Guidelines:
- Keep this portal minimal, with very little stuff to maintain: semi-static
- Do not compete with other sites which are more appropriate for content.
- Think about possible "use cases": people looking for information on "Ubuntu" in "Switzerland"
Contents first, polish, then publish!
Hosting
Maybe open/ch can host it for us, or ubuntu-eu. Meanwhile, we can prepare the contents on the wiki.
Other comments
If there are bloggers in the swiss team reporting on Ubuntu, Linux, team activities, ... . A central blog which would only publish certain topics from the swiss LoCo members blog could be a idea. Sort of Swiss Ubuntu blog post catcher. -- ["Peppy2"]
- What's you descibes looks like a planet (like http://planet.ubuntu.com/). There's is a open source CMS to make planets http://www.planetplanet.org/ but it need python. -- ["ponsfrilus"]
It would be great to have a map to localize swiss ubunteros. Maybe there is a way to have this one included: http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/carte/ . -- ["ponsfrilus"]
A help center to redirect users to their "mother tongue speaking official communities" is also needed. -- ["ponsfrilus"]
I would also suggest short information on what is going on in the community at the moment, i.e. a "current activities" box and a box with the date of the next IRC meeting. Some kind of help how to access the IRC channel would be nice as well, but probably not on the frontpage. Also it is quite important imho to provide links to general information on Ubuntu/Linux, as not all visitors already know about Ubuntu. -- ["ManuelSchmid"]
