UBUNTU: [SPAM] Re: Thanks Ahmed

[Ahmed Osman]

Just wanted to pipe in that if we are going to use a planet blog, those that
don't have a blog and want to contribute to it can actually use the blog
that was setup yesterday, we can set it up so each user has their own
personal blog with an unique RSS/ATOM url.

I would like to propose a methodology for using all these mediums of
communication:


   - Blog
      - Posting announcements about projects/events. Also will be used for
      providing links to interesting guides and uses of Ubuntu (A
rural school in
      Mongolia is running Ubuntu or something) around the world.
   - Twitter/Facebook
   - Linking to news and events related to the Washington teams.
   - Wiki
      - Recording information about meetings/agenda/contact info.
   - Planet Blog
      - Aggregating all the above information together.
   - Forum
   - Users to post requesting help with things and as a secondary to the
      mail list for discussing meetings/events
