An Ubuntu respin with a few changes that make life easier for Belgian Users. We discussed this project before, more info about that can be found at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/LocalizedCD (these pages should be updated..) We need some people who take the lead in this project so it won't bleed to dead. Candidates to lead this project to victory, please step forward! The leader of the project needs to make sure stuff doesn't stall. Small decisions can be made entirly by the ISO team, that way we speed stuff up. PROJECT GUIDELINES:Note that these guidelines are a beginning, the ISO team should try to endorse these guidelines. The general ideas and guidelines of Ubuntu need to be taken in account. A target date should be set in order to keep things moving. (having the 11.04 ISO before 11.10 comes out is crusial.) Values:- We keep the official program choise of Canonical/Ubuntu but include a minor amount of programs and drivers that are on general interest for belgian citizens. - No change to the Restricted Extra options. (due to legal issues and ubuntu values)- Support to the Ubuntu guidelines - Endorse users to get to know their system (we can teach them with video's we make)- Canonical has put a serious amount of time in developing the software center, we should make people use it! - Keeping things simple- No 'special' programs or programs only usefull to a specific type of user. Needed: - Both a 32bit and a 64bit version- Fully supported languages by default: en, de, nl, fr (as default boot language English is suggested) - Based on Ubuntu 11.04- Only Gnome classic and Unity interface- AZERTY by default - USB key should have an install icon on teh desktop once it is booted in live mode.- Default homepage in firefox should be Ubuntu-be.org. - E-ID program and driver Unwanted: - PPA's (at least for now as a PPA gives us responibility for security breaches) [exception for ppa's without security issues (see later)] - Extra DE's- Media players and other stuff that requires restricted extras - 'professional' software- Unity 2D (yet) (once we hit 11.10 it will be default fallback and stable enough for us to integrade.) - Software of which we aren't sure it's going to be supported for the time the ubuntu version is supported. Wanted:- (Pre-boot) GUI should list the 4 languages prior to the install proces - Possiblity for both a Persistent and a Pristine boot would be nice (U-fr uses only persistent) What we might want to add (later): - Instruction Videos should endorse our users to explorer and get to know their system, yet keep it simple enough for everyone to followVideos showing apps that might be usefull for some but not for all can be handled here so people find their way to them.. - A PPA for Ubuntu-be containing LibreOffice Impress templates and Desktop Wallpapers is adviced. Due to the lack of goodlooking LibreOffice Impress templates, the Desktop Wallpapers are just a way to promote ourselves.. might be added later, no need to stall the project for this.. we could ask OSPublish to make us a wallpaper - We could make some dedicated distro's as well afterwards (a kubuntu one, or a rescue version..) = USB =The ISO we make should find it's way to belgian ubuntu users. We need a way to get it out. One of these ways is a USB drive. CDs are slow and netbooks (often) come without a CD drive, selling USBs instead of giving away CDs sets Ubuntu-be on its way to the future.As with the ISO team, we need people who believe in this project and put their wings underneath it to make it fly. A leader for this project has the same job as the ISO leader: make
