Ubuntu CD/DVD-Label Archive

[dergringo]

Hi all

While searching the ubuntu forums all over the world for a cd label I had an idea. What about creating a *buntu cd label archive? Well let me explain what I exactly mean. Imagine a page where you could search for labels/covers by using various criterias:
- What kind of buntu? (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu)
- What version? (..., 6.10, 7.04, ...)
- CD or DVD?
- Wich elements? (label, inlay, cover, etc.)
- Language?

Some ideas what the page could offer:
- User/Artist login
- Simple upload functionality for artists
- Comment system
- Rate the labels
- Discussion platform

What resources are required?
- Page-creation team
- Administrators
- Moderators
- Of course artists
- Domain (f.e. www.buntu-labels.org)
- Webspace including server side scripting (f.e. PHP, MySQL)
- Traffic

What could the goals of such a project be?
- Make the access to covers more easy
- Enhance ubuntu popularity
- Enhance the quality of the covers
- Do something for the ubuntu joiners


What do you all think about starting such a project? What do the artists think? Maybe something already exists? Thank you for reading and thinking about!

Regards

That would be Great! Maybe make it a wiki so it could easily be updated and/or be added to.

Idea++;

Thank you for your response. What do the others think? Anybody interested in it?

This is a really good idea. I think that it would really help get more people interested in trying out Ubuntu. I know that someone is more likely to use or take a cd with a nice label over one with a sharpie label.

That is very true. Professional looking CDs are always good.

Like I said, a wiki would be good so ppl could update the images as the versions get replaced over time.

Thank you for the feedback!

It sounds like there is at least a small amount of interest in this project. Well, that's at least enough for me to start this.

OK. I am able to freely offer:
- Page programming
- Hosting (including a traffic amount of 400GB a month)
- Paying the domain costs

What do I need from YOU to start?
- A forum in the 3rd party forums here on ubuntuforums.org
- A nice interface
- Translators
- Testers
Any help (ideas, programming, graphics, etc.) is welcome!

What domain name do you suggest?
ubuntu-labels.org ?

Well, PHP would probably be wanted/needed to set up a wiki... http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki is probably something to seriously consider.

For the domain name, ubuntu-labels.org(.com) would probably be just fine. however I don't know how Canonical would not/would like it, might consider contacting them before any actual hosting went under way - just to make sure. I would still buy the domains (if I were you) just in case anybody else had an idea.

I think after the wiki is set up, people like me would love to update parts of it - that's what open source is all about

Anyway another ubuntu-labels.org++ && ubuntu-labels.com++ from me
Cheers
