[FULL GUIDE] HOWTO Contact IRQLinux Team?



Hi,

 Starting from 22-July-2014, IRQLinux Team (Mesopotamia) will use two main channels for serious and important communications:
  1. Mailing List
  2. IRC

What is a Mailing List?
Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailing_list

Why the mailing list?
  1. Faster.
  2. Better.
  3. More Organized.
  4. More Helpful.
  5. This is how professional and serious communities discuss.
  6. Your communications (emails) will never be lost.
  7. Because mailing lists exist for a reason and we should think differently (think out-of-the-box). 

What is Launchpad?
Please see: https://help.launchpad.net/

 Why Launchpad?
  1. Launchpad has many features, one of these is full functional mailing list which any community can create and use for any FOSS Project.
  2. Our project is based on Ubuntu and Launchpad is made by the same company of Ubuntu, that is Canonical. So, support wise, Launchpad as a platform is very much supported.
  3. Very easy to use.

 How to use the mailing list for IRQLinux Team?
Please see this guide.

 If you have any question, you can always check:
https://help.launchpad.net/Teams/MailingLists
What is IRC?
Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat

 More here: http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/support/irc/

 Why IRC?
  1. Super Fast way to discuss.
  2. Does not require fast internet connection - which is a huge problem in Iraq.
  3. The professional way for any development team to meet and discuss.
  4. Real-Time chat.
  5. All Ubuntu Communities and other Teams/Communities are using it either daily or weekly.

IRQLinux Social Media Channels:
Starting from 22-July-2014, all IRQLinux Social Media Channels will NOT be used for any kind of serious/development discussions as explained above. 

You need to understand more what does a Social Media Channel mean:

  1. Recruiting interested people to join the project/team.
  2. Share Updates, News, and all about the team and the project.
  3. Purely Marketing channels.
  4. Create a healthy and user-friendly environment where interested people about Operating Systems, GNU/Linux, Technology and Computer could meet and share some tips and knowledge.
  5. Schedule meetings and events.
What are the Social Media Channels for IRQLinux Team?
  1. YouTube : the official YouTube channel for IRQLinux Project.
  2. Google+ : the official Google+ channel for IRQLinux.
  3. Google+ Community : the official community on Google+ for the team members and users.
  4. Twitter : the official twitter account for IRQLinux Project.
  5. Facebook Page : the official Facebook Page for IRQLinux Project
  6. Facebook Group : the official Facebook Group for IRQLinux Team Members ONLY (you need to be a member to join this group).
IRQLinux Main Channel
Sadly, we don't have a website yet but we are working on that very soon. Therefore, for now, our main official channel is:
You can find almost everything you need to know on that blog. We always keep it updated.
Okay, is there any other channel for IRQLinux Project or Team?
Last but not least, we do have a new area which is still fresh and still empty. We need people who are good with documentation to fill it up.


This Wiki Area will be the main source of everything about IRQLinux. User guides, howtos, etc. 

The reason why it is still empty because we do not have enough manpower to fill it up and we don't have any member who is interested to take that role. Documentation role is not a rocket science. Above all, any successful project will not be successfully without good documentation. So, we are in bad need to fill this role and that area. If you could do that, you're more than welcome.


That is all for now :)

This is a FULL guide. I hope I didn't forget anything ;)

Thanks!
