Ubuntu Mobile team and community. I've been impressed with what Oliver has done with Ubuntu Mobile in such a short time and I see an opportunity. We, the mobile community, finally have a project that we can get behind with confidence. Ubuntu-MID is great but there's a feeling that Intel, Canonical and others are tied up with OEMs and that the project is not so accessible. Not least becuase there isn't a single instance of it in the wild yet! Ubuntu-Mobile looks like its almost in a usable state, is platform independant, is as open as it can be, has a good brand behind it and covers more than just MIDs. It could really help the UMPC and Netbook community.
My proposal is that UMPCPortal officially supports the Ubuntu Mobile project and tries to rally dev support for it. My feeling is that the project could really benefit from more dev and community support, and that we are in a position to help seed that. This project could capture a big chunk of netbook, umpc and mid owner support. My question is, can we do this in some semi-formal way? I want to post an article (today if possble), place a promotional ad button and donate some equipment to Oliver. Can someone from Canonical informally 'approve' and 'recieve' our support such that the community sees that it's a two-way link? One note - I also want to promote Ubuntu Mobile as a potential distro for the larger Poulsbo-based UMPCs and possibly MIDs. I know Ubuntu-MID is there for that but I see Ubuntu-MID more of a 'developer' or 'OEM' edition and as such, it doesnt connect with the community as well. This is the key element and advantage I see with Ubuntu Mobile. Anyone from Canonical got thoughts on this? Good?
