nice thread. :) we (ankur) have already passed this young energetic talks/moments/crazy hackings. But in long run if you don't have any solid objectives, goals, plans and more importantly dedicated people with dedicated time - it won't show up in reality.
0. you need a good coordinator, who will analyze, understand the whole development process, select right resource (hacker) for the right job, assign works, set milestones and follow up the issues in time. the project will success with a good team but will fail only for this single person. :)) 1. assess your+team members skills. what you know and what you need to know about customizing a distro. currently there are lots of tools are available. but first try/learn with your own finger. it's like learning to drive with manual gear or learning guitar with wooden one. 2. If you want to customize one then start with other distros based on Ubuntu. I think Mint might be better choice. 3. keep the spirit. fyi, we started hacking with knoppix livecd. it took around 2 nights for us to boot it in bn_BD locale. later suzan was able to customize fresh ubuntu releases within 2 hours by issuing commands manually. we never used any 3rd party customizing tools in our releases. :) sorry for the boring post. cheers, -jamil On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 9:16 PM, Shahriar Tariq <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 9:08 PM, Tarin Mahmood <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >wrote: > > > Promoting Ubuntu is promoting Linux.
