News from the german ubuntu-berlin user group?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi to all,

basically I have the same question as the Oklahoma LoCo team ;-):

I'm part of the ubuntu-berlin user group. We are not the loco-de team,
but we are part of it. And we are very active organizing workshops and
Ubuntu/Linux events like our release parties. Our website is powered
by Drupal and we can export our event schedule in ical format. But all
of our event descriptions are in German language, because our focus is
on the Berlin area in Germany. So my questions:

Should I post our events here? Or can some one import our ical calender?
Is it ok to post in German language? I'm not sure if I have the time
to translate everything.

I think it would be nice to get our group information to more
(international) people. Perhaps everyone could benefit from it.

Michael

Re: Fridge 2.0 mockups

As a "news guy" this subject interests me a lot.

On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 12:32 PM, Nicolas Deschildre <ndeschildre@gmail.com> wrote:

What I envision is similar to what can be found on france24.com: some
big main categories (in our case, the 3 target audiences are defining

click on the "Kubuntu" tag, you get a view with all the latest Kubuntu
stories plus a link to a feed.

The conventional wisdom is that you differentiate between distinct audiences at the publication level, not the section level.  Hence, local newspapers have News, Sports, and Entertainment sections, but they do not also have a technical journal bundled in.  Incorporating multiple audiences and multiple subject-level sections into a single publication becomes confusing -- multi-level hierarchy that is difficult to navigate, and confusion for readers (and particularly for _new_ readers) as to where they should look and what belongs where.

If I understand the blueprint right, there are two distinct problems under consideration -- improving the "contributor-to-contributor" communication (whether they are developers or non-code contributors), and improving project-to-outside-world communication.  The two audiences really have different expectations and needs; contributors need to keep abreast of changes that affect them and their projects, for the purpose of improving the work that they do.  General readers are interested in learning what is new in and around the Ubuntu project as a whole, for the purpose of education and their own information.  Obviously, individuals self-select which group(s) they belong to, but they have divergent goals and reasons for getting their news.  Attempting to solve both issues with one solution may not be possible (or feasible).

 
Anyway, that's my observation.

Thanks,
Nate

Just realized Amarok is not the best example here... Wubi, or a n-th
derivate of Ubuntu would be relevant for example.

Indeed. And that wouldn't be scalable (mythbuntu, others *buntu?).
What I envision is similar to what can be found on france24.com: some
big main categories (in our case, the 3 target audiences are defining
them: "World", "LoCos", "Development"), and story tagging. If you
click on the "Kubuntu" tag, you get a view with all the latest Kubuntu
stories plus a link to a feed.
A list of popular tags could be shown on the front page.

Additionally, it would be nice (technically a little harder) to be
able for a tag view to switch from a non-managed mode (latest stories
goes automatically on top, all in rows, like
http://www.france24.com/en/category/tags-thematiques/gaza-assault) to
a managed mode (staff choose what stories to highlight, like in the
frontpage). Ideally I'll be able to manage rights so that some people
can have staff rights only on their tag view (e.g. amarok people can
manage their own page at news.ubuntu.com/amarok).

That's some ideas that would be great, but require some work.

(Please keep me CC'ed, I'm not suscribed!)

Cheers,
Nicolas
