hubuntuI have been analyzing the way spreadfirefox is buit12:15
hubuntubuilt12:15
hubuntuand it would make sense to make something like that, but be rather careful with what we add there and what not12:16
hubuntuwe don't want u w c all over again, right? We want a place where to get information about what is happening in the Ubuntu community worldwide12:16
pepu w c?12:17
hubuntuw u c (wiki dot ubuntu dot com)12:17
hubuntuthere is a lot going on there already.. the best way would be for us to pull it out of there and organize it12:18
pepmhh.. spreadfirefox you say...12:19
pepI don't see what you mean with "we don't want u w c all over again, right?"12:19
hubuntuthere is a lot going on in the wiki12:20

hubuntuwith that up we can continue the consolidation of the group and get down and dirty12:54
hubuntuwith some real implementation12:55
hubuntupep, do you think that contacting the people behind spreadfirefox is a good idea?12:55
hubuntuI am interested in their work flow, more than in the implementation itself12:55
pepmhh...12:56
pepI'm not sure12:56
pepbut the list seems active, hang I'll test...12:56

hubuntuhas Belgium got a consolidated government now or are they still not getting along?13:15
pepoh I don't know -_-13:15
pepnah, acutally it has apparently.. but well.. it's a little weird, people just all laugh at this..13:16
pepit has a government, but nobody's getting along with anyone.13:16
hubuntustrange... 13:29
hubuntupep, shall we send an email to the list asking people to "build" the materials list?13:51
pepyes, just a sec....13:53
pepfirst thing to do, is clearly define everything we want SU to do in the end.13:54
hubuntuI am going to reorganize the material list following your organizatory guidelines13:54
pepso that we have a finished list13:54
hubuntuI think we will finally shape it in the end.13:54
pepwe need to treat the actual diy part of SU (as Flannel calls it ;-) separately... you want to work on that first eys?13:55
pepyes*13:55
hubuntuIn the nearest future SU will have (be a repository for): Marketing material/Artwork/Presentations13:56
hubuntuIn longer term: be THE  place for communication of events and a meeting point for people wanting to spread ubuntu (marketeers)13:57
pepyes, marketing idea pool13:57
hubuntuSort of the brain of the marketing team13:57
pepjupp, fine13:57
hubuntubrainstorm will take care of picking up marketing ideas, and we will evolve them and mature them into SU13:58
pepok13:58
hubuntubut that's *very* long-term13:58
pepso we'll be concentrating on diy SU website now.13:58
hubuntushort term the repository, IOW DIY website13:58
hubuntuyes13:58
hubuntuwe may need to clarify that in our wiki project page and LP13:59
pepright, I just want to make clear what short term goal actually is13:59
pepto keep us from staying static13:59
pepwith a lot of ideas13:59
hubuntugood.. can you summarize it and write something explaining this in LP and the wiki?14:00
pepin LP?14:03
pepwhere in lp?14:03
pepin the resentation?14:03
pepp+14:04
hubuntuyes, in the intro of the team... We should make it short14:08
pepok... 14:10
pepYes, Ok. I'm going to get a coffee first, then i'll do that and analyze jenda's diy site diagram once again...14:10
hubuntu;)14:12
hubuntuI just went for a coffee myself14:12
pepyeah, my brain is doing high jup inside my head today14:13
pepjump*14:13
hubuntupep, drupal 5 or 6?14:19
pepI'd go for the newest one...14:20
pepany inconvenient?14:20
hubuntuI don't know really... Ubuntu sites normally use 5 and I'm used to it14:31
hubuntubut 6 brings a lot of improvements (OpenID better integrated)14:31
pepmhh yeah.. hnestly I'm sure ubuntu sites will change in the near future...14:31
hubuntubut has less modules since it is relatively new and people (i for one) is happy with 514:31
pepI see14:32
hubuntuwe should probably talk to the Ubuntu.com folks14:32
pepwell it is as you wish, I am not familiar with drupal yet14:32
pepI won't be of much help there, I don't really use it in my sites, but the new ubuntu-be site will14:32
hubuntuYEah I was looking at the u-be site, it uses 4 right now doesn't it?14:38
hubuntuok, a webmaster for ubuntu.com just told me that there are no plans for moving towards Drupal 6 at this stage14:40
pepno14:40
pepIt uses cms made simple =D14:40
pepok, then.14:40
pepfor the sake of being clearer, I am overthinking our wiki organisation a little bit... maybe separating what is diy.SU and the rest of SU, and also making space for short term action, so that we move along...14:42
pepalso, hubuntu: who contacted former diy website people?14:42
hubuntudidn't you?14:43
pepbecause in LP, the SU project and diy website are still not under our assignement, and I'd really like to have some comments from jenda or others about changing the drivers for this project14:43
hubuntuFlannel probably.. honestly I do not remember, but I remember someone saying they did14:43
pepwell actually no, because Flannel was in talk witht them14:43
pepok14:43
pepwell I'll see on that  today, as I have time.14:43
hubuntu:)14:44
hubuntuI'm talking to the ubuntu webmasters and arranging our taking over the world ;)14:44
pepdo so, "brain" ;)14:45
pepWe want the page to be easy to understand even to people with disabilities or a fair percentage of alcohol in their blood.14:51
pepI like this description :)14:51
hubuntuno discrimination is good ;)14:52
hubuntubut it could be misunderstood14:53
pephaha14:53
pepit's an old pag from the wiki14:53
pephubuntu: are we sticking to the "see it, try it, get it, ship it, spread it" concept? I like it...14:54
hubuntuI see it more like: Spread it!14:57
hubuntuit should be almost intuitive too see it, try it, get it, ship it...14:58
pepOk... I see your still more on *our* base idea than along with Flannel's idea ;)14:58
pepbut conerning the diy.SU you're right14:59
pepconcerning the frontend of spreadubuntu.com, spread it should have more importance, but this is actually not far from what I think: http://www.novarata.net/1/Mockup3.png14:59
hubuntuFlannel's idea fits better into what the ubuntu-website team (will be formed soon) will work with15:03
hubuntuSpreadUbuntu is for spreading, the intro page should not be there IMO15:04
pep`back15:05
=== pep` is now known as pep
FlannelWhat on earth is the ubuntu-website team?17:10
pepo.O17:14
pepFlannel: no idea... what do you mean? ubuntu.com?17:15
pepah I see17:15
pepI suppose they develop the ubuntu site... : ) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-website17:16
