No, I haven’t moved to Honduras, just helping out there 😉
David Giard, a founding member of the Ubuntu Quebec LoCo Team, relayed these news to me this morning (via The Fridge):
NOT A FORK – as soon as I posted this I got a comment about this being a fork, well, it’s not! It’s a collection of modules and a theme, which are managed via a project in Launchpad. This is not a separate fork of Drupal! 🙂
That long needed suite of tools has finally been completed.
This suite is designed for any Ubuntu Local Communities wanting to host a website. It is designed to allow any LoCo team to quickly create a website using Drupal for their team.
What this suite offers:
- An approved theme for any LoCo
- A highly customizable theme
- Launchpad OpenID integration
- -> Users don’t need to create an account on your site
- Launchpad Teams integration
- -> Can control access levels in site based on LP team memberships
- Fast and friendly support
Official project: launchpad.net/loco-drupal/
Release Downloads:
Drupal 5.x: launchpad.net/loco-drupal/5.x/0.5.0
Drupal 6.x: launchpad.net/loco-drupal/6.x/1.1.0
Drupal 7.x: in development
A Special Thanks:
This project would not be possible without all the collaboration involved.

I am thrilled to announce El Salvador Ubuntu LoCo Team will be hosting an Ubucon El Salvador next Saturday September 6th!
I’ll be spending next week in San Salvador and I thought it would be nice to meet some Ubunteros there. I wrote to their mailing list, one thing led to another and *boom* ! Having presented at Ubucons in Seville, New York City and San Francisco before I am really happy to add one to my list ! I am trying to think of any sentence in this post I wouldn’t end with an exclamation mark but I can’t !!!
A few emails and IRC chats were enough to settle on having a round table to discuss Ubuntu’s place in free software, Celvin Rivas will also be presenting about the state of Ubuntu in El Salvador. If there’s enough people interested there’s discussion about having some workshops – gotta love last minute things 🙂
From « Running an Ubucon« :
An Ubucon is a community driven, community organised event that is all about Ubuntu. These events often include a number of speakers, BOF sessions, demos, social events and more, and they are excellent ways to grow the Ubuntu community in your area, and to build an interesting and fun event. Ubucons are different to large Linux expos and conferences in that they are uniquely community focused and driven, and uniquely Ubuntu.
