Hi all, I would like to get some input on whether or not our LoCo should be involved in the following sort of project:
The most common query/complaint we receive from new Ubuntu users in Zimbabwe concerns the lack of proprietary codecs, particularly in light of the fact that a lot of people here have no Internet access at all and are therefore unable to install them later in the usual manner. To solve this problem, a script has been written with a graphical front-end, to install these codecs offline (packaged with a cache of the required packages). Our concerns are that since these codecs are not shipped with Ubuntu for reasons of the legalities involved, would it be acceptable for us to make the script and package cache available on our LoCo site or not? We would like to have this available on our LoCo Web site (mostly for team members to be able to download and then use later offline where necessary), but if the general feeling on this is that it wouldn't be "right", then I'll possibly place it on my company site instead. Any feedback would be appreciated. -- Regards, Neil Coetzer Team Contact Ubuntu Zimbabwe LoCo Team ------------------------------------------- http://www.ubuntu.org.zw http://zimbabwe.ubuntuforums.org http://www.ubuntu-zw.org ------------------------------------------- http://www.karigon.net Thinking way outside the box -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
