[Ubuntu-ch] Lucid Lynx Release Party in Winterthur

[Dirk Deimeke]

Hi Myriam

Don't shoot the messenger :-)

As you mentioned in the other mail this release party is a non-official one. It is the initiative of Ubuntu loving people having difficulties to express themselves in English.

Now I am for 2.5 years in Switzerland and I found out that the majority of Swiss people is extremely focussed on regional aspects, not only in terms of distances but also in terms of languages.

That makes it even for me as German person, fluently speaking one of the official languages in Switzerland, difficult to get in touch with the "normal" Swiss people. And this is only because I do not speak the regional dialect, I am only able to understand it.

Having this in mind, I do not think the needs of those people can be satisfied with one central instance regardless of the language.

LoCo-teams are build to satisfy
- regional needs (see USA)
- cultural needs (see Kurdish team)
- language needs (see Catalan team)
These are only examples.

Now, it is up to you, Swiss people, to cope with this situation. I am only a guest.

Cheers

Dirk

Has this been added to the Swiss Team wiki? People are asking in the

#ubuntu-ch channel, so some advertising in the correct places might be

an idea...



Also, I don't really see why we need yet another website for

Switzerland (ubunteros.ch). That's just splitting up the community. We

already have a 4-language portal ready, it only waits for input, so

please keep things together.



@Dani: how far are you with the website? Could this been done for the

Lucid release?





Regards, Myriam.



PS. Dirk, I really wonder why I spent 3 full days on preparing the

multilingual portal on your request if noone has contributed since...

PPS. Please don't count on me to keep this together right now, the

Swiss Team is big enough to run without me, but apparently it really

doesn't without clear guidance... *sigh* a pitty to see things falling

apart :(
