Ideas

Welcome to our Swiss Team Brainstorming site!

Feel free to post your ideas here.

Regular meetings on IRC

We plan a regular IRC ["/Meetings"] schedule. Currently we have a weekly meeting schedule, changing days every week so nobody is hindered from attending because of other tasks or hobbies.

Proposed schedule:

and so on...

Modifying Contact list

As the SwissTeam is growing steadily and more volunteers add themselves to the contact list, it becomes quite long and unhandy. Various propositions for modification are:

• Splitting it into regional lists, by postal code. -- ["ErwinHerrsche"]

• Splitting it into cantons. --["StephaneGraber"]

• Using the same map software as the BelgianTeam did (see below). --["MyriamSchweingruber"]

  • If the map is adopted, we could replace the standard icons on the map with Ubuntu logo. Those logos could even be repainted according to a color code (ex: green for beginner, orange for advanced and red for experts). This would allow the visitor to easily see where and what kind of help is available. The French community has something similar (http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/carte/). -- ["Peppy2"]

    • Actually it's not the "French community" but the French-speaking community. People speaking French in Switzerland can register on that map. Maybe we don't need a "Swiss" map. People just have to get used to the global village.--TormodVolden

• Just have the whole list on a separate page. Splitting it up will rapidly make it inconsistent, hard to search, and maybe you want to find a close match across the canton or postal code border. Automatic generation of a map, based on the postal code would be übercool. --TormodVolden

  • moving the list to one subpage is a good idea -- ["ErwinHerrsche"]

Support Point Map

Myriam got in touch with MarkVanDenBorre during FOSDEM in Brussels and he sent the links to the code. Check the specification set up by the BelgianTeam here: ["BelgianTeam/SupportPointsSpec"]. They posted a support point volunteers manual here: ["BelgianTeam/SupportPoints"].

Material coordination

As an official LoCo Team, we can order CDs and other merchandise from Canonical. This task should be coordinated and we also should have a list of "Who has What" that is updated regularly. Many SwissTeam members already have got some material:

• Where are the two posters from the last Open Expo? -- ["ErwinHerrsche"]

  • Andrew has one (see ["SwissTeam/OpenExpo/2007-Zurich"] which has an overlapping list...) --TormodVolden

  • I'm the one who brought them - I still have about 5 left. They come from a batch I ordered a while ago, which was supposed to be dispatched to several people, however things got ugly (customs took some or something, the pack was open and a few were missing)... The poster's design is GPL, we could find a more reliable source. --Tribaal

Please add your merchandise, posters, flyers, etc.
