[Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu CH on Facebook

[Daniel Stoni]

Hoi Philipp

And Big Hello to all of you who joined the discussion, who gave feedback
and who shared their ideas so far.


It is great to feel your engagement and interest. We have power and the
potential to do more for Ubuntu in Switzerland. Nice, isn't it?

For the moment I shortly comment the facebook part. Viewed from distance
I recognize the importance of having presence on facebook, possibly on
other new media, too. It's great that people familiar with it took the
initiative to incorporate the page and who will likely fill the facebook
affiliate of ubuntu-ch with life ;-). Opening a Xing precense would be a
possible next step, no?

I'm also one of these guys working with 'old' channels. Even older
channels: I prefer meeting physically and talking. This brings me to one
crucial strength of this group: together, we are able to maintain any
channel from press, companies, schools, communities, old & new media. We
have tremendous skill - organizational, technical, other - on board and
we have a common interest, that faciliates internal communication.

That's cool. Thinking about our options and what we might achieve is
exciting. Let's continue the discussion and see what evolves ...

Have a nice weekend

Regards, dsto
