    Lightbulb Team Website

    Background
    So we are an Officially Approved LoCo Team now. With that comes the ability to use a sub-domain of ubuntu-us.org. We have been given http://kentucky.ubuntu-us.org and http://ky.ubuntu-us.org (both point to the same location) and we already have http://ubuntu-kentucky.org (seperate from the other two and hosted by us). At this time it is hosted by Ubuntu. We are waiting now to see if they can make a DNS change and point to a server that we own so that it would be easier for us to maintain. Right now the site is using Drupal and has the Ubuntu theme applied to it.

    Question
    What would you like to see on the website? How should we use it? Remember that it will need to be Ubuntu specific and appropriate. Here are a few ideas that I have come up with / seen.

    • Allow blog posts
    • Create our own Planet
    • Host meeting logs
    • Do a frapper map of Kentucky to show where we all are


    What can you come up with that would be cool and maybe unique?
    Thanks,

    Like the idea of the Frapper Map.

    I'd like to get involved with this also, as my schedule permits. I'm a newbie here, but I'd like to start contributing more.

    Re: Team Website

    Well, work is progressing on the web site (http://www.ubuntu-kentucky.org). I have been trying to find an image that says Kentucky and blends well with the site theme. And our plan is to choose several that rotate. Here are some of the ones I have done so far: (Please keep in mind that the borders around the image are there to blend into the theme)












    Tell me what you think! And we are open to any other ideas as well!

    I like all of those. Now to get the piece of code that can do a random pick of those images to display on a refresh.

    Maybe you could get a picture of the Lexington or Louisville skyline to include in that rotation? The map sounds very cool and I like the idea of a blog for team members (dibs on a Linux games blog. XD).

    Koji, I think you should be appointed the Linux Games reviewer! You can review a game, and the write a review on it and post it! Think that would be a GREAT thing. Adn it would be a good thing to add to the FullCircle mag!

    I'll work on skyline pics. That sounds like a good idea too!

    Re: Team Website

    Well there have been some changes to the team site (http://kentucky.ubuntu-us.org) again. The drupal theme that we were using was a little harder to work with than it was worth. At the last meeting we took some time to look over some of the other themes available and decided on one that is pretty nice. We are still working on making it more our own by adding some KY elements to it but it is coming along nicely.

    Check it out and let us know what you like or don't like about it. You can respond to the forum or mailing list thread or stop by the irc channel (#ubuntu-kentucky on irc.freenode.net) and let us know.
    Thanks,

    etank
