| Due to the number of peoples subscribed to the Mailing List and the location all around the world of those peoples, we have decided to do a survey to decide the meeting date and time. | == July, 22nd 2008 20:00 UTC == |

| Unfortunately we can't make a free choice because some relevant peoples are necessary to the meeting itself, so we can offer only those date and time possibilities for the meeting. | Log of the meeting available [http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/07/22/%23ubuntu-website.html here] starting at 21:00 (search for the "{{{----------------- BEGIN MEETING ---------------------}}}" string). |

FEATURE TOUR
Assuming we pull it off, it will be featured prominently on the Ubuntu homepage and will get a lot of eyeballs. I'd love to see something that makes people scream wow!!!
We'll start by focusing on the graphical/layout part and worry about the content as we near release day. (when the final features will be more refined)
Requirements:
- I don't think the layout has to be constrained to match ubuntu.com, though it should bear enough resemblance that people don't wonder where they're at
- no flash
- non-linearity - it should be easy for people to find and see the feature they're interested in
- Ajax is fine - we can use ajax to hide text and show it only on click with a cool effect
- people visiting ubuntu.com will already have mootools in their browser cache - we don't need to use moo, but it would be a good choice
- the tour must also function without JS, though it's reasonable to expect less functionality/visual appeal
This will require a team with the following skills: A leader who can delegate + CSS/HTML creation, Javascript/Ajax/Effects, graphic design and image optimization, possibly copy editor
ACTION ITEM If you love the idea of leading this team and coordinating the efforts (and doing a portion of the work), please announce your willingness to do so THIS WEEK.
