Hello Vid,

How about using this platform to publish the Ubuntu-Abanta* Magazine.
This sounds like an excellent idea---I'm hoping to see as much content as
possible land up on El Fridge so that people know that it is the place to
look *first*.
BTW, I didn't know whether the name has been decided upon, but I think that
'Abanta' comes off the tongue really well and also in English hints at the
conversation ('banter') going on in the background.

We started the site pretty much to take up the slack that the Fridge wasn'tdoing, as well as provide links and what not to excellent how-to's and whatnot that were buried in the wiki. Well as time went by, only a month or so, buntudot.org became pretty popular. It was never meant to take over for thefridge, just kind of take in the slack since the Fridge had gone stale.That brings us to today. I am not sure yet, if it is 100% official, and I hate to speculator, but it seems from conversation that buntudot.org will mergewith the Fridge. This means that buntudot.org will probably forward to the fridge, and the team of editors we had there will now be on the Fridgedevelopment team. Now, this is 100% set in stone like I said, but we didreceive word from Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) that he liked the idea and was impressed with the informal meeting we had in #buntudot.So, if things go as planned, the Fridge will have 4 new admins/editors. Thismeans, there is a great possibility of Official Podcasts. Since Brandon and myself, as well as Jordan Mantha, Hybrid (sorry but I forgot his name), and acouple of others, have create a couple now. We still stink, be we are gettingbetter, and maybe with the merger they can get better. If you have any questions, I can try to field them, if I can't I will get theappropriate person to do so.

Yes I'm interested in being involved in this, as I've said on the sounder list a number of times. First thing to do is open up the fridge mailing list - no one knows what has been discussed, proposed etc. I've just joined this list, having run the Ubuntu stand at Lug Radio Live 2006 (report coming v. soon). So intro: have done a little bit of everything (wiki cleaning, documentation, bug-reporting, stall-manning) save write code.

If I understand correctly it functions like a portal (somewhat!) for gathering Ubuntu news and cool Ubuntu events for people to read. How about using this platform to publish the Ubuntu-Abanta* Magazine. There may be other issues involved but IMHO it would be better to use existing resources instead of increasing the Infrastructure work. Thoughts? -- Vid * Abanta was suggested in an earlier IRC meet.
