Planning for ubuntu-uk.org
This topic has provoked a lot of debate on the mailing list and more different threads than is good for it. This page will allow us to create content for the site and spread our discussions throughout that content. Hopefully this will decrease disjoined duscussions and promote creation of useful material! It will also make it easier for new people to contribute without having to read through mailing list archives.
Please start your comments with your WikiName and spread them between the relevant sections.

Purpose of the site
SteveSmith: After reading the comments of Mark Van de Borre and [:GeemanUK:Grant] [https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2006-June/000500.html on the mailing list] it seems to be the consensus that [http://www.ubuntu-uk.org ubuntu.org] should be something similar to [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com], but obviously with a UK slant.
Map
To get you up to speed if you haven't read the mailing list:
The Belgian LoCoTeam maps ([http://map.ubuntu-be.org/nl/ Dutch] and [http://map.ubuntu-be.org/fr/ French]) have inspired the our team to create a similar map, indicating where free/non-commercial support/friendly faces can be found.
MatthewEast has suggested that we should first recruit people who can offer support before it's worth creating a map. In order to keep this list "live" and available for easy immediate use it is located on [:UKTeam/Support]. Please add yourself there if you can help!
[http://www.google.com/apis/maps/ Google Maps] is used by the Belgian team.
[:GeemanUK:Grant] has offered to deal with the coding-end of such a map.
SteveSmith: I'm very keen to support/advertise Google maps ([http://www.google.com/apis/maps/ details of Google Maps APIs here], because of their whole business practice (have you seen their office? ;)), involvement in Open Source (Summer of Code, porting Google Earth to Linux, Wine, etc.) but that's just a personal preference. Also, the map is easily zoomable, scrollable and you can navigate around it like lightning compared with any other map I've used online.
