    Domain Name

    A question was raised in the meeting about registering a domain name for the LoCo. Someone mentioned that it had been discussed at a previous time, but the team decided to focus on content for the moment.

    Is this something we want to pursue? I don't mind spending a few bucks to register it. If it is something we want to do, any suggestions as to what it should be?

    Re: Domain Name

    Since registration is really cheap, and we already have space/hosting donated by Mike I think we should. What the actual domain should be...something relevant and very easy to remember, both ubuntula.com and ubuntu-la.com are avail, if thats the way we decide to go.

    Re: Domain Name

    Wouldn't a .org address be more relevant?

    Sure, although the intended uses for the TLD's aren't really what they are used for anymore.

    Re: Domain Name

    It looks like we'll need to get a license to use Ubuntu in a domain name. I don't see it being a problem unless they want us to wait until we're an officially recognized/approved LoCo.

    I think we should decide on the domain name we'd like to use and then have someone start the process of getting the trademark license.

    Should we use -la or -louisiana? I always think people will assume Los Angeles when using la on things. What about following the syntax of our irc channel? ubuntu-us-la.org? What do other LoCos have as their domain name?

    Re: Domain Name

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

    Re: Domain Name

    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.
