Does<br>> anyone have any concerns?  Would we limit our "notes" to only non-profit <br>> or community-based groups using Xubuntu?  What if a business was using<br>> Xubuntu, would we - by extension - be endorsing that business if we put<br>> their info up on the website?  Does it matter if we're "endorsing" them <br>> in this way?<br><br>well both tuxlabs and linode that I mentioned are building a business partly on<br>xubuntu.Endorsing businesses in not just gratuitous advertising :) It can encourage<br>other businesses in different parts of the world to evaluate the software. It is <br>advertising Xubuntu in fact.<br>That's a good thing since it shows free software as an alternative not only for<br>hobbyists and geeks but for consumers. Just as Canonical advertises the various<br>high profile Ubuntu related deals with commercial entities, I think that's fine <br>to do on the Xubuntu page as well. Kubuntu also has a list of derived distros on<br>their page. So the various uses could be categorized on the website as for example<br>hw being sold with xubuntu (or derivative) preinstalled, large deployments, <br>derivative distros etc.<br><br>Jani</blockquote> <div> </div> <div>I think it's a good idea, but do you mean adding news concering Xubuntu derivatives to the news section or adding a separate page which just links to derivatives? Much like <a href="http://www.xfce.org/download/distros"> http://www.xfce.org/download/distros</a> but then for Xubuntu derivatives.</div> <div> </div> <div>---</div> <div>Vincent</div></div>
