Announcing the Ubuntu Web Presence Team

How would you like to help make the Ubuntu website a thing of great beauty? If so, here’s your chance. There is a newly created Ubuntu Web Presence team recruiting members. If you’re excited about web technologies now you can help out. Some of the tasks this team will tackle include:

• New countdown banners for the releases
• Contribute to the start page that users see when they first load Ubuntu (http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04)
• Allow localization of key portions of the Ubuntu website
• Use your javascript, python or PHP coding skills to create exciting new features
• Design a visually engaging website experience
• Enable more people in the community to help out
• And more… the possibilities are limitless!

Presently, the Ubuntu website is managed by a very small group of people, mostly Canonical employees. We’d like to open this up so that a team of talented and trustworthy community members can help define the website experience. This is your opportunity!
