Website
|
Our website will be a public-facing web presence for our team, complementing our existing team-focused wikipages and our existing public web presence (microblogging, Facebook, etc.). The website will offer a venue for communicating with the general public, showcasing our community, and highlighting our advocacy efforts.
Website Contents
Collecting ideas for the launch of an Ubuntu California website.
Things we may want:
Main site Blog/News for announcements and event summaries (Use Wordpress? Drupal?)
Gallery2 or similar for single place for hosting files
Planet for aggregation of team member blogs
- Add yours!
Resources
The team is entitled to ca.ubuntu-us.org or california.ubuntu-us.org via Canonical, but purchase of our own domain name may be of interest. In the event of a purchase, a domain would be purchased under an account which has at least 3 members of the team with access.
Option 1
Canonical offers web hosting for approved LoCo teams, details here: LoCoHosting
Option 2
Elizabeth Krumbach has offered to host on the ubuntu-us.org and ubuntupennsylvania.org Linode server running Ubuntu 8.04 (upgrade to 10.04 is pending):
- Wordpress
- Gallery2
- Planet
- DNS via Linode's DNS manager
Access via ssh to this server would be granted to at least one other trusted member of the team with sysadmin experience. This server was granted as a donation to the community by the great folks over at Linode.com.
