Announcement: SpreadUbuntu 0.1 - codename “evan”

[Rubén Romero y Cordero]

Hello fellow Ubunteros!

I am going to announce the first release of what in time will be come the
SpreadUbuntu Do-It-Yourself repository for marketing material. This is not
official yet, but calling it a usable alpha is not unfair.

I am asking all of you to tell members of your LoCo teams about our project
and invite them to use it, to come to our site and thus get the repository
bigger and more relevant for the global community! You can visit it here:
http://ubuntu.ec/su/drupal5/

I leave you the release announcement just below my signature.

Best regards,

Rubén Romero

After over two weeks of site tunning, bug fixing
and<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue114#Spread%20Ubuntu%20Alpha%200.1>
lots<http://nancib.wordpress.com/2008/10/25/pengs-links-for-saturday-25-october/>
of <http://www.ossblog.it/post/4501/spreadubuntu-alpha>
news<http://punto-informatico.it/2457489/PI/Commenti/ubuntu-810-stambecco-intrepido.aspx>
coverage <http://ubuntupodcast.net/2008/11/08/ubuntu-podcast-episode-11/>(which,
by the way, helped test the site) let me introduce to you:

*SpreadUbuntu 0.1 - "evan"*

Evan <https://launchpad.net/%7Eedb82189> is by far the greatest contributor
to our project and the first release goes to him! Cheers mate!

*So what do we have here?*

*The short story:* SpreadUbuntu <https://launchpad.net/%7Espreadubuntu>, a
project by the Ubuntu Marketing
team<https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-marketing>.
This release includes multilingual support and basic features of what in
time will become the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) part of the SpreadUbuntu Marketing
site. Among our features we have *download, upload and share all kind of
ubuntu marketing material so we can all go out and SPREAD ubuntu to the
masses!* Now you have no excuse for not having that flyer in your own
language, or the poster you saw *somewhere* on the internet!

If this sounds interesting please read *the long story.* It can be found
here <https://launchpad.net/spreadubuntu/0.1/0.1>.

Does this sound like something you want to be part of? The easiest way to do
it is to *use the site yourself AND to tell everyone about it!** *Besides
that you can put your hands to work and become part of SpreadUbuntu, we have
already plans for 0.2 <https://launchpad.net/spreadubuntu/0.2/+milestones>.
Our team <https://edge.launchpad.net/%7Espreadubuntu> and
project<https://launchpad.net/%7Espreadubuntu>are in Launchpad, and we
also have a space in the
UbuntuWiki <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/Projects/SpreadUbuntu>.

*I hear you say it, but where is all this awesomeness?*

Don't hesitate, you are NOT dreaming: *it's right
here<http://ubuntu.ec/su/drupal5/>
!*

You may kill our bandwidth, but hey, we can always upgrade our
slicehost<http://www.slicehost.com/>plan for a month or two. As for
the server I believe it will be up to the
task: It is after all running your favorite server
OS<http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition> [image:

* Go UbuSpreaders(tm), go!*
