====== Ubuntu-vi ======
 
This page is about the production of Ubuntu-vi, a vietnamese dedicated version of Ubuntu.

Warning: this is "Work In Progress"™ ! it means: more to come soon... :-)

__Goal:__ provide a well-integrated GNU/Linux distribution for vietnamese end-users

__Ideas:__
  * start from standard Ubuntu CD using [[http://uck.sourceforge.net/|Ubuntu Customization Kit]] to remaster it
  * integrate as much vietnamese translation work as possible
  * integrate all those f*cking [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats|restricted formats]] because people still need it
  * integrate some usefull software specific for vietnamese people (StarDict, SCIM + M17N, x-unikey ?, ...)
  * integrate usefull software in general (Thunderbird, Gaim, ...)
  * [[testing|test, a lot!]] **before** distributing!
  * distribute the work through bittorrent (need some more study about trackers)
  * distribute the work through http/ftp/rsync (need to find hosts, because we can't afford this with a good speed at AUF/CNF)
  * Make your usual ipod / creative does work with it. Rythmbox does not cut it (default one), it can read not write, banshee, amarok, songbird can do it.


//(note : "integrate" means "add and tune")//

__Roadmap:__
^ date ^ event ^ comment ^
^ <del>2007-04-21</del> | talk about how to do this | creation of the [[http://lists.hanoilug.org/pipermail/ubuntu-vi/|ubuntu-vi]] mailing-list |

__Let's do it!__
  * get the LiveCD ISO image digging it's [[http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent|torrent]]
  * prepare to [[remaster]] the LiveCD: extract it's environement and enter into it
  * add [[soft:apt:hanoilug|the HanoiLUG apt repository]] off course ! ;-)
  * add this [[packages|list of packages to integrate]]
