Area 51 – Ubuntu presence
Posted in Personal, Ubuntu on 07/21/2010 09:37 pm by Laura CzajkowskiWho knew in a short space of time we could go from 24% - 92%
So I’ve been listening to people talk over the last week about this proposal, why they are for it and for others why they don’t support it. I do support it and it’s very simple why.
A lot of people use IRC – But some don’t
A lot of people use the forums, but they can get noisy and hard to follow a topic – But some don’t
Many people use Mailing lists, but finding an answer in a thread can get convoluted and hard to process – But some don’t
Some folks use launchpad Questions and Answers – But some don’t
We cover all of these areas and have a presence in them, here is another avenue people chose to use and we should try and help them there also if we can. I am not saying abandon the above ways we communicate but lets be open to looking at new alternatives. We are now one of the fastest growing proposals on Stack Exchange. We’re ahead of Apple, we’re ahead of the Advanced Unix and Linux group and I think that’s something we can be really proud of in a short space of time we’ve accomplished this much!
I found out about this from Evan who works on the design team and he’s been pushing this with Jorge to make sure we have a presence there. Hence this post in the hopes we can get more to push us closer to 100%
