What is SpreadUbuntu

SpreadUbuntu has two important aspects to itself:

• The first is a website that offers a basic welcome and crossroads to new users. It gives them screenshots and basic "about Ubuntu" info, much like ubuntu.com.
• The second, more important, is a unified resource for DIY Marketing Material and guides.

SpreadUbuntu aims to ease the excited new user from exploring the community straight to spreading Ubuntu in his locality. We believe it's a small step from being an excited new user to being an active local advocate - given the resources necessary. SpreadUbuntu was admittedly inspired by SpreadFirefox, but is not intended to be an Ubuntu analogy thereof.

Goals and Objectives

• Raise awareness of Ubuntu as a viable option for an operating system.
• Guide the visitor through the thought process of choosing whether or not to use Ubuntu.
• Provide clear information on the benefits of Ubuntu, and Linux in general.
• Steer the freshly convinced user straight to passing the word on to his 'neighbours'.
• Provide him/her with all the info and material available and necessary.
• Serve as a repository and database of community DIY material.

Methods of Operation

• Provide a unique design to invoke the Fresh/New/Exciting feeling of Ubuntu.
• A website easy to use/navigate that one will gladly bookmark for later referrence.
• Eventual internalisation.
• State only the truth, and the entire truth - including drowbacks and risks of engaging in the FLOSS world.
• Keep the new user in mind, as well as the recidivist Ubuntu spreader.

What We Have Now

I made this sitemap to reflect what I'd like the site to look like:
