Domain Name

[r2d2rogers]

When in doubt, Ask!

09:48:32 [ r2d2rogers] cross question from me in -locoteams: What seems to be the consensus 
                       about domain name format for a loco team?
09:52:16 [ Zelut] r2d2rogers: state.ubuntu-us.org
09:52:33 [ Zelut] r2d2rogers: once your team is approved we can get you all setup with that.
09:54:46 [ r2d2rogers] Cool
09:54:47 [ Zelut] prior to that it is suggested to use your team wiki as your web presence.
09:55:20 [ r2d2rogers] is is full louisiana.... or is la... ok too?
09:55:57 [ r2d2rogers] if we use that domain is it required that we use the canonical
                        hosting?
09:56:03 [ Zelut] no
09:57:13 [ r2d2rogers] So we can use our own hosting and use the state.ubuntu-us.org
09:58:18 [ r2d2rogers] is it possible to get the abbriviation as an alias or pointer to the
                        longname.ubuntu-us.org?
10:16:20 [ Zelut] r2d2rogers: probably
10:16:38 [ r2d2rogers] Great
10:16:58 [ r2d2rogers] our debate in team was wanting to keep it short and easy to share.
10:17:03 [ r2d2rogers] Thanks!

Any Questions?

Works for me!

[r2d2rogers]

I'm thinking that it would be a good URL to use until we are an approved team. I really think more can be done with the web presence than a wiki can provide.

I think after the next meeting I'll put up a poll on Launchpad about it.

I think after the next meeting I'll put up a poll on Launchpad about it.

any reason not to put up a poll now?

[r2d2rogers]

any more options?

- Wait for Approval to get a domain and use ubuntu.louisianalinux.org only as a redirect to the wiki
- Build a website and use ubuntu.louisianalinux.org as the domain until approval then redirect it to the domain under ubuntu-us.org
- Don't use ubuntu.lousisianalinux.org at all


?

It looks like we have an answer about what domain name to use: http://www.ubuntu-la.org/

[palintheus]

hmm it says thats for country code LA...is there a country with that code??

[wharp]

Ok, scratch that. I think that's for Laos.

http://www.ubuntu-us.org/

That shows what other teams are using. There seem to be several using state.ubuntu-us.org.
