Ubuntu Florida LoCo Website

Current Status: in development

1/18/08 - On schedule. New module configuration and styling completed. Newsfeeds added. Tested with:

• Ubuntu - Firefox 2.0.x, Firefox 3 alpha 3, Epiphany, Konqueror - DanTrevino,ReyAngeles

• Windows - FF2,FF3a3,Opera 9.23, Safari 3.0.2, IE7,IE6 - DanTrevino, ReyAngeles

• OSX - Firefox, Safari - [:Catsceo]

1/6/08 - The current plan is to go live with the site at the end of January. This will allow us to break up areas of responsibility. Other options like blog syndication, etc will be added in the future.

Once the website is officially "released", this page will move to that site.

Charter

Develop an informational website that would enable the [wiki:FloridaTeam Ubuntu Florida LoCo] to market itself much more easily, as well as provide easy access to help/getting started information for new users. The focus will be on making content available to browsers with a large number of users, where 'large' is defined by the Website team (ie. we likely wont be testing Amaya or lynx).

The site will be a sub-domain of the existing [wiki:USTeams US Team] [http://www.ubuntu-us.org website]. Ideally the site would be hosted by Canonical and utilize the services they offer to approved teams.
