Over the past few weeks I’ve been working with James Tatum<\/a> to launch a website for Ubuntu California at ubuntu-california.org<\/a>. This is a project which has been discussed several times over the years: Does the team need a site? What would it contain? Where would it be hosted? Who would be responsible for it?<\/p>\n

In meetings over the past couple months it became clear that the team wanted an aggregation of member blogs (planet) and was seeking to find a more consolidated way to share photos from events, so we put together a team<\/a> moved forward with the site. The primary domain itself will be used as an easy address to give folks who are new to the team and serve as a portal for our other resources. We went with WordPress<\/a> for this since it’s a simple CMS for our volunteers who wish to help out with content on the site and we are using the ubuntu-website light-wordpress-theme<\/a>. More notes about the technical specifications of the site can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday we launched our basic site!<\/p>\n

James and I are currently working on the planet and the team is going through discussions regarding our photo options<\/a> (gallery2<\/a> is open source and can be installed on the Linode, but Flickr<\/a> and Picasa<\/a> have loco directory<\/a> support). It would be great to hear what other teams have done to keep their event photos organized. In the future we’re also looking at Google App Engine<\/a> options in a portion of the project led by Aaditya Bhatia<\/a> if we wish to have some custom applications for the site.<\/p>\n

The site is hosted on a Linode<\/a> (donated to the community by Linode, thanks again!) which I am currently the primary sysadmin of and also hosts ubuntupennsylvania.org<\/a> and ubuntu-us.org<\/a>. The domain name itself graciously provided by Eric Hammond<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
