Thanks for the informative links that I hope everybody (well those of you on Facebook) will read. However, I see a Facebook presence simply as advertising for Ubuntu. Of course the Ubuntu Swiss Team should principally not encourage people to use such services. But look at me, I am sending this e-mail from Gmail :) And there is WUBI for installing Ubuntu inside a Microsoft system. Oh, and there is UbuntuOne which is based on a closed, proprietary system - don't get me started on that one. It would be great if someone set up a similar page on GNU social, status.net, Crabgrass, Appleseed and Diaspora, but if the most important is to reach out to a new audience, Facebook may be more efficient. Make those people use Ubuntu, maybe they will understand the values of free software and act accordingly, over time.

Hi > I always wonder how Facebook is able to uglify images that much. And in > general I would also prefer to support an open solution like diaspora. Why not support several solutions? :) I am very in favor of the Ubuntu facebookpage. I'm not very fond of Facebook, but it is a great way to promote something. Actually I probably would have deleted my Facebook account long time ago, if it weren't such a great place for promoting things. Ubuntu has gone a way of supporting software even if it is not free, e.g. by providing an easy way to install proprietary hardware drivers. And it seems to work - people like it very much. The same should count for promotion - if people like the Facebook page and it can help the Ubuntu CH team, then do it. People that use Diaspora will probably also use mailing lists. The goal of creating a Facebook Page is to reach people that are not techies and don't know all those "Facebook alternatives". Btw, even Debian - which would be more likely than Ubuntu to not support Facebook - is using Facebook as a way of promotion[1]. And they have 70'000 likers. Same thing counts for Ubuntu[2], with 350'000 likers. Danilo PS: I don't think it's the fault of Facebook that the Logo looks ugly. Please re-try by uploading a downscaled version.

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu CH on Facebook
Hi all. Thank you for the approval. We already have 18 fans. There's one question i have to know. I named the site "Ubuntu CH". I could also write it "ubuntu-ch" but changing is only possible up to 100 fans. Which one do you prefer? If you'd like to become an admin of the site write it here with your real name or message me on facebook. I like it, that there are suddenly faces to see, not only nicknames! Who are you, nicknamed people? I always wonder how Facebook is able to uglify images that much. And in general I would also prefer to support an open solution like diaspora.

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu CH on Facebook
Hi all. After the discussion I decided to go ahead and create a "official" Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubuntu-CH/193831693990902 A Page seems to fit well. It's public and open. +1, I agree with Thormod, it looks good.

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu CH on Facebook
Hoi Philipp And Big Hello to all of you who joined the discussion, who gave feedback and who shared their ideas so far. It is great to feel your engagement and interest. We have power and the potential to do more for Ubuntu in Switzerland. Nice, isn't it? For the moment I shortly comment the facebook part. Viewed from distance I recognize the importance of having presence on facebook, possibly on other new media, too. It's great that people familiar with it took the initiative to incorporate the page and who will likely fill the facebook affiliate of ubuntu-ch with life ;-). Opening a Xing precense would be a possible next step, no? I'm also one of these guys working with 'old' channels. Even older channels: I prefer meeting physically and talking. This brings me to one crucial strength of this group: together, we are able to maintain any channel from press, companies, schools, communities, old & new media. We have tremendous skill - organizational, technical, other - on board and we have a common interest, that faciliates internal communication. That's cool. Thinking about our options and what we might achieve is exciting. Let's continue the discussion and see what evolves ... Have a nice weekend Regards, dsto *** Am 19.03.2011 10:15, schrieb Tormod Volden: > On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 10:18 PM, Philipp Gassmann wrote: >> Hello Swiss Ubuntu Users >> >> After the discussion I decided to go ahead and create a "official" >> Facebook page. >> >> http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubuntu-CH/193831693990902 >> >> A Page seems to fit well.

You can use as url http://www.ubuntu-ch.org it's more easy instead of wiki.ubuntu You can add this link [1] for people who want to know our next events and other infos. Please add also some info for the other Swiss part (IT, FR) [2]. I don't know if you have read our archives but I'll give you a small summary: Ubuntu-ch is an official team to organise events and help local people. We don't provide any documentation or other (only if there's some special Swiss device/problem: UMTS key, Migros bank key, ...) We redirect people to other websites as [2]. Just read our website, there's a lot of info that you can add on Facebook page (We have also a IRC channel and we're almost always 12 person) [H.S]: As info, we are 206 person on this Mailing list ^^.

Hello Swiss Ubuntu Users After the discussion I decided to go ahead and create a "official" Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubuntu-CH/193831693990902 A Page seems to fit well. It's public and open. So what can "we" do with a Page: - Describe the Page in the Info section - Write Posts that can be seen by people who "like" the page - Add Events that will show up on likers "events" and if they have integrated FB in Android, the Events will show up in their calendar. - Add Pictures of Events or anything else - Propose the page to your friends - People can write posts on the Pages wall - People can comment on post/pictures/events So, can I make it officially "official" ? I haven't invited anybody till now. I'm waiting for your OK.
