<div>Welcome to the Ubuntu Singapore Mailing List. I
almost forgot this mailing list existed till you drop in

</div>
<div>The <a moz-do-not-send="true"

used to be on my server if I din't forget but I failed
to renew the server lease and looks like someone moved
it out.. I think or it was another domain? Meh? Last I
recall the owner of the domain is currently inactive.. <br>

<div>The people in this mailing list have been really busy
with their own life. Plans to restart the <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ubuntu.sg"
target="_blank">ubuntu.sg</a> page and other stuff
haven't really been working since everyone has been
busy.. But not that you've mention it, and seems to be
filled with energy, why don't you take lead and push out
some stuff? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I recall having plans to write tutorials for our
beloved Ubuntu and we used to have tutorials on how to
make the funky mobile broadband thingy from huawei work
with Ubuntu. There's a lot of stuff in my head that we
can do, but to make it happen, we cannot do it alone.
Certainly, thanks to the thing called "LIFE" allocating
specific people to certain task is not very practical as
well.. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I do agree with you that we should start rebuilding
our online presence. I'm sure there are a significant
number of Ubuntu user in Singapore, it can't be just the
few of us in this group.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With Steam now on Ubuntu, perhaps it's time we write
tutorial and stuff? Something like a local version of
omgubuntu? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That's just some of my idea. If only we could
materialized it. I'm currently away from the tiny red
dot now, but remain committed to help this LoCo team
should I be of any help. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So Kang Heong, let me know what you wish to tackle
first? Then we can start handling some stuff? Even if
it's just the 2 of us working it out for now, but hey,
something is better than nothing eh?</div>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Dear esteemed
<font color="#cc0000"><b>Ubuntu</b></font> fans in
Singapore,<br>
<br>
Each of us are in this mailing list for our own
reasons.<br>
Perhaps you believe <font color="#cc0000"><b>Ubuntu</b></font>
is awesome, and want to play a part in its
proliferation in Singapore..<br>
Or maybe you just want to join a community of
like-minded enthusiasts and help each other out..<br>
Regardless, all of us are in this mailing list
because of our shared love of <font
color="#cc0000"><b>Ubuntu</b></font> - the
operating system and what <font color="#cc0000"><b>Ubuntu</b></font>
represents.<br>
<b><br>
</b>Richard Stallman famously said, "<i>If you
want to accomplish something in the world,
idealism is not enough - you need to choose a
method that works to achieve the goal. In other
words, you need to be pragmatic.</i>"<br>
<br>
Indeed, let's act on our convictions, and do so in
a manner that amplifies every person's
contributions.<br>
<br>
The time we're in right now is full of
opportunities - both for <font color="#cc0000"><b>Ubuntu</b></font>
and for <b>all</b> of us. Let's seize the day - <b>today</b>!<br>
<br>
As a start, do allow me to draft out possible
things we can do, sorted by three levels of effort
(or ambition):<br>
<br>
<b>Minimal (aka Essential)<br>
</b>- Update existing Ubuntu SG Team platforms:
Wiki, Launchpad<br>
- Create and maintain an Ubuntu SG Facebook and
Twitter account (with links to <font
color="#cc0000"><b>Ubuntu</b></font> news,
tutorials, etc)<br>
- Change the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ubuntu.sg" target="_blank">ubuntu.sg</a>
page to at least a branded landing page with links
to the Wiki and other resources<br>
<br>
<b>Moderate<br>
</b>- Organise (or create resources to support
organising of) Ubuntu SG events (like Ubuntu
install sessions, demos in schools, etc)<br>
- Create tutorials and guides on migrating to
Ubuntu for Windows/Mac users<br>
- Start printing Ubuntu SG tees and other
merchandise again (possibly raise funds for <font
color="#cc0000"><b>Ubuntu</b></font> events or
charities)<br>
- Allow blog contributions from members on the <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ubuntu.sg"
target="_blank">ubuntu.sg</a><br>
- 13.04 launch party/marketing campaign?<br>
<br>
<b>Massive</b><br>
- Whatever wacky ideas you can think of.. Here are
some of mine (not that wacky, I admit):<br>
- Haggling Sim Lim/Funan shops or even Dell in
Singapore to offer <font color="#cc0000"><b>Ubuntu</b></font>
pre-installed to <b>consumers</b><br>
- Bigger marketing push for 13.04, e.g. roadshows,
seminars on FOSS, etc<br>
- Creating video profiles of people in SG using <font
color="#cc0000"><b>Ubuntu</b></font> for real
work (e.g. scientists, business folk, artists,
etc)<br>
<br>
The list is by no means definitive nor even
correct. Do throw in your comments and criticism.
And do propose if there is a better platform for
converging on specific actionable items (Trello?
Google Groups?) - the sooner the better!<br>
<br>
I look forward to getting to know, working with,
and learning from all of you as we champion <font
color="#cc0000"><b>Ubuntu</b></font> on the
little red dot!<br>
<br>
<br>
Humbly,<br>
Kang Heong<br>
<br>
<br>
P.S. Special thanks to <b>Loong Jin</b> and <b>Heidir</b>
for their prompt e-mail replies! I would be at a
loss if not for them.<br>
