Hey guys, Matt East posted this to the Fridge editors list. We've been chatting about how we can develop the Fridge.
I think this is a great opportunity for the Marketing Team to get involved in an established Ubuntu project and show what we're all capable of. I think it's of particular relevance to the magazine guys. Matthew. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew East <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 03-Aug-2006 15:15 Subject: future of the fridge To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now the fridge is picking up nicely, we can start thinking about what is in store for the future of the fridge. Personally, I think it would be nice to see the fridge grow up into the definitive Ubuntu community website. There are a couple of things I'd like to see happening 1. I'd like to see other Ubuntu community sites folded into the fridge. Right now there are lots of interesting community sites, obvious ones include planet.ubuntu.com and behindubuntu.org. I think it would be nice to see these two sites, and potentially others, as separate sections of the fridge, with individual rss feeds and accessible from the same url as the fridge. I think this is important to make sure that the community has one central and awesome site that they can look to in order to get all their news and gossip. 2. Makeover! The look is a bit crowded right now - three columns all packed with information. I think it would be nice to see a less crowded frontpage, inviting the reader to explore the subsections a bit more. 3. More articles - Matthew Revell has mentioned that he'd like to see more original articles on the Fridge, so rather than just articles which come from outside, something in the manner of Gnome journal, or similar. I think this is a cool idea. What do you all think? p.s. I'd also like the site to have a more suitable name than "the Fridge", but that particular boat has probably sailed already. -- Matt -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
