 * '''Packages affected''': fortunes-ubuntu-server

== Summary ==

The package fortunes-ubuntu-server will be installed by default on Ubuntu Server Edition. 

== Release Note ==
Useful tips are now displayed each time a user logs into Ubuntu Server Edition.

== Rationale ==

This should provide a mean for new (or old) functionalities to be discoverable by normal users on a text only installation. 

== User stories ==

Joe connects to Ubuntu Server and discover in the message of the day that he can use XXX to do YYY

== Assumptions ==

== Design ==

Package already exists, MIR is approved, needs to be seeded in server seed.

== Implementation ==

ACTION:
 * Jump URL for tips - [rt.admin.canonical.com #36573]
 * Drive for more tips - Daviey spearing.
 * ADD "Ubuntu Server Tip" above output from motd
 * Add to server seed - see [[https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-server-tips/+bug/423667|MIR bug #423667]]

=== UI Changes ===
Typical tip in motd should look like
{{{
Ubuntu Server Tip:
Instead of typing exit or closing the terminal if you
want to logout you can press Ctrl+d.
See more: http://some.url <-- optional
}}}

=== Code Changes ===


=== Migration ===

None

== Test/Demo Plan ==


== Unresolved issues ==

== BoF agenda and discussion ==

=== Polycy review ===

Tips should not be any longer than 2 lines of 80 characters.
 * Tips are not advertisement, but information. No paid services or product can be referred to here, except if an exception is granted during a server community meeting.
 * Tips should only refer to what's directly available in Ubuntu Server Edition and in main, unless an exception is granted during a server community meeting.
 * Tips needs to be meaningful to most administrators.
 * Mention of a new package or tool can include a pointer (url) to get more information.
 * Url in tips should preferably not be pointing to a wiki page, which holds to high a risk to be defaced. 

==== discussion ====

 * Should a tip *ALWAYS* have a url? '''No'''
 * Can we add a 3rd (optional) line for URL? '''Yes'''

Changes made at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/server-tips




=== Ideas ===
Multiple sections, used when certain packages installed:
-> fortunes-ubuntu-server
     * Ships different sections, enabled at runtime.
         (Perhaps not an issue until overwelmed by tips)
