| Aug 31, 2010 at 20:26 | comment | added | Richard Holloway | @lfaraone: I do like the SE sites and agree they are awesome. My point is that it is separate from Ubuntu.com and using ask.ubuntu.com doesn't make sense to me. | |
| Aug 31, 2010 at 18:35 | comment | added | lfaraone Mod | Yes, but. It'd be replacing a sucky closed-source solution (VB) with a awesome one. If you don't like it, don't use it, just as we have with the forums. | |
| Aug 31, 2010 at 15:44 | comment | added | Richard Holloway | I agree with moberley. This is not an Ubuntu.com site. It should be separate. There is a lot of politics tied up in the existence of this site as it is with arguments about closed / open solutions unix SE / ubuntu SE. ask.ubuntu.com just feels wrong to me. | |
| Aug 19, 2010 at 23:21 | comment | added | moberley | @maco I used the word "conflict" in the personal rather than technical sense. My understanding is the creator of Ubuntu Ask wanted a Q&A site running free software that could be multilingual. By seeking official status for this site it creates a platform for arguments about closed versus open that are unlikely to be resolved. It seems inconsiderate to go in that direction when there are good alternatives. | |
| Aug 19, 2010 at 6:35 | comment | added | 8128 | @maco it would be us trying to be the 'official' ask site. Why should we go to *.ubuntu.com when they aren't... | |
| Aug 18, 2010 at 18:33 | comment | added | maco | @moberley: Woah that site's...it looks just like it's one of these. Actually, it looks like a FOSS version of SE. But how would using a ubuntu.com subdomain conflict? That site doesn't end in .ubuntu.com | |
| Aug 11, 2010 at 23:36 | comment | added | moberley | Seeking to use an ubuntu.com subdomain would create needless conflict with Ubuntu Ask. ubuntu.shapado.com | |
| Aug 7, 2010 at 13:17 | comment | added | Ross | @lfarone, My thinking was that since StackExchange would own the domain, and it wouldn't be hosted at ubuntu.com that the ubuntu.com should refer back to the "master" domain (if that makes sense). | |

| Aug 1, 2010 at 17:57 | comment | added | Hamish Downer | I think strictly it would be the Ubuntu Community Council (CC) that would decide - see the Trademark Policy for more details. The CC may want to have some formal accountability, maybe the right to select or deselect moderators, as they can for the ubuntu forums. | |
| Jul 30, 2010 at 22:35 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @lfaraone: Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. Do you personally think Canonical would be willing to do this? I'm curious to hear what you think. | |
| Jul 30, 2010 at 16:12 | comment | added | lfaraone | @Ross, If anything, the redirect should be the other way around, with AskUbuntu.com going to ask.ubuntu.com. | |
| Jul 29, 2010 at 10:01 | comment | added | David Siegel | Redirecting is ugly. | |
| Jul 28, 2010 at 23:16 | comment | added | Ross | While I'm totally up for this I feel it should be a redirect to an actual domain name (AskUbuntu.com is available and is practically identical). | |
| Jul 28, 2010 at 21:54 | comment | added | David Siegel | I am sure that if the community wanted to use ask.ubuntu.com, Canonical would not refuse. | |
| Jul 28, 2010 at 21:51 | comment | added | andol | Assuming cooperation from Canonical? | |
