= Proposed Roadmap for 2009 =

The recent change of LoCo Contact of Ubuntu-PH was brought about by months of inactivity by members of the community. We are deeply saddened by the fact that Filipino Ubuntu Users are growing, but our decreased contributions has them turning elsewhere. We are in the unique position to aid individuals and organizations alike, and as a community, it is our obligation to do so.

The goal of this article is to revitalize the team. Attract new users and encourage current members to donate an hour or two of their time for our cause. Please don't hesitate to add or comment on any item listed here. Remember, this is a community effort.

== Re-Organization of Ubuntu-PH ==

The purpose of this item is to ensure that we have individuals who can represent the team for each and every Contact Resource we have at our disposal. We shall adopt the Buddy System so representatives can help each other and cover as much ground as possible.

=== IRC ===

As detailed on the [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ph/2009-March/001754.html | Ubuntu-PH Updates email]], the LoCo IRC Channel shall remain in the very capable hands of [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~jgotangco | Jerome Gotangco]]. Everything #ubuntu-ph shall fall under his discretion. We do, however, need one more member of the community to stand-in and help Jerome.

 * Jerome Gotangco
 * ...

=== Forum ===

Our [[http://ph.ubuntuforums.org/ | LoCo Forum]] is currently moderated by [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~loell | Loell Anthony Erecre]] and [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~loell | Juan Carlos Torres]]. However, Carlos made it known that he's pursuing projects outside of Ubuntu and won't be able to fulfill his duties as a Moderator. [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~knightlust | Dax Solomon Umaming]] has sent a request to replace Carlos to [[http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1 | ubuntu-geek]].

 * Loell Anthony Erecre
 * Dax Solomon Umaming (temporary)

=== Mailing List ===

A request has been made by the LoCo Contact to Ubuntu RT to changeover the ownership of the LoCo Mailing List. We will need two members to serve as List Administrator once the transition is complete.

 * ...
 * ...

=== Launchpad ===

Launchpad is already managed by current Administrators. We will add more Administrators depending on the amount of his contributions.

 * [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~dous | Aldous D. Peñaranda]]
 * [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~xenos | Eric Pareja]]
 * [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~yolynne | Yolynne Medina]]
 * [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~zakame | Zak B. Elep]]

== Website Updates ==

A [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ph/2009-March/001757.html | follow-up email]] was sent to RT to reinstate our Website. Hopefully we get a response soon.

=== Ubuntu-ph.org ===

The main page of our website would be served by Drupal and themed with [[https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal-theme | Ubuntu LoCo Drupal Theme]].

A selection of modules would be available to us, but unauthorized ones would have to be tested and approved by Canonical Sys``Admins before we could install them.

The choice of Drupal for our script is, apparently, the most logical solution. Not only is it preferred by other LoCos, but it's also encouraged due to the already available LoCo tools.

=== PlanetPlanet ===

Like most LoCos, the feed aggregator would be installed on a subdirectory, e.g. http://ubuntu-ph.org/planet and updates triggered by a cron rule.

Configuration's done manually, but we may be able to create a Drupal module to add, remove, and edit user entries graphically. We're quite certain that this would be a welcome addition to existing LoCo tools.

=== Launchpad ===

=== Wiki ===

I made the mistake of forgetting to backup the files of our wiki before I went on Sabbatical last year (2008), and it has costs the community significant amount of files and data. To prevent history from repeating itself, I push for the exclusive use of wiki.ubuntu.com, instead of setting up another wiki. This will also benefit the whole Ubuntu community as a whole since all our data/content would be globally available.

=== OpenID ===


== Translations ==

== Approved/Official Ubuntu Membership ==

== Pending Projects ==

Below are the items that were marked as Pending. I believe few members would still want to see this pushed through. Since we've lost all the data hosted on ServerPronto Mekong, all the items listed below was recalled from memory.

=== ubuntu-ph.org Email Address / Redirect ===

I believe this is plausible since the Korea Team has received favorable response ([[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2009-March/002887.html | thread]]). So the only thing we need to worry about is hosting.

 * Google Apps for Domain may be able to help us, however, we're limited to 50 email accounts and every email we sent contains text ads.
 * DaxSolomonUmaming - I may be able to spare some bandwidth for redirects. However, I don't think I can handle 100+ users, so I may lay down some conditions - probably depending on a users' tenure or the amount of contributions.

=== Multi-Blog Application ===

If I remember correctly, this was marked as rejected since almost every member has their own blog and aggregated in Planet``Planet. Having a Multi-Blog for Ubuntu-PH members seems too redundant.

However, some might disagree, I'd like to open a discussion regarding this issue.

=== Picture Gallery ===

If allowed by Canonical Sys``Admins, we may be able to use Gallery2 Module for Drupal. This module would allow users to easily upload and manage images we care to share to the community.

== Other Concerns ==

 * DaxSolomonUmaming - I've managed to locate the July2007 backup file of our Drupal site. The 2008 data is still missing, but at least we have something to work on.
