Here in Venezuela the last week in the mailing list of Ubuntu Venezuela
Team https://launchpad.net/~nejode talked about his first Ubuntu
Customization to Spanish language by default without using Internet get
Spanish packages.
This idea was welcome he's work was just the start and It was converted
in a project https://launchpad.net/venezuelaiso
Why ? Very simple: ( Just what I thing )
1) If you can read the first screen You can test Ubuntu. For example the
last week I left my Cd in the computer my wife turn on the computer She
saw English next She turn off the computer She called me Jesus the
computer isn't working.( My wife use Xubuntu but she doesn't know
nothing about installers She cant read English to know what is that? )
Microsoft has Spanish Installer by default we need one no like a F2
option we need by default. ( I differ to other people we need all the
possibilities in languages options)
2) Remember here no everybody has Internet ( Itś difficult to the new
user install without Internet ) Windows doesn't need connect to Internet
to start to apparently work in ours language . We need us languages
packages by default. If a user can install Ubuntu we have more
probability to get a new user.
Another Idea
Here the majorities of the people at home use shippers machines by the
cost no HP no Dell no others ( I thing this apply for many countries ).
In fact HP sales computers with free D.O.S why ? ? why not use
Ubuntu . The people talk about Dell but haven't see more that 20 Dell
computers in my live. Maybe we can start to talk with the computers
retails to ship Ubuntu CD with the machine maybe with no default install
but the people can wondering what is it ? put the Cd in their languages
and say Woh . ( I think maybe can work here because the Government is
migrating to Gnu/Linux)
Finally
I think in Latinoamerica we can't talk about user friendly Ubuntu yet
Why ? if the people can understand English Goodbye user friendly no
everybody understand English no everybody has Internet at home.
by the way excuse my English is not good enough yet.
