Press release from Ubuntu Colombia about StackExchange
As many people know, some months ago Evan Dandrea was asking for LoCo Teams support of the creation of one dedicated site on Stack Exchange Network for Ubuntu [1].
Ubuntu Colombia was making some testing of one similar platform called Shapado 4 months ago. This platform besides giving us similar functionalities, have many improvements on communication with other (social) networks, translations in many languages and many others [2]. And the big advantage over Stack Exchange Network is that it's Free Software under GNU Affero General Public License (same of Launchpad.net).
They are really open to suggestions, and also have many developers compromised with Free Software, Ubuntu and communities. Their development is under Ruby on Rails, Linux and MongoDB. Example:http://ubuntu.shapado.com/questions/what-would-be-a-good-openid-icon-for-launchpad
We, Ubuntu Colombia, believe that Free Software must be used and supported by us, a big community helping a big software. And, additional to this support, we reject the wish of support to the proprietary software used on Stack Networks.
We and the Shapado community are waiting their LoCo Teams supports to raise Shapado as THE free and bigger website of questions and answers on the Internet.
Hey follows, we don't have any excuse to not use Shapado and give some love to the free software community, we are waiting for you.
Just use it!!

After reading this I didn't know that the Ubuntu communities and as well as their developers is having a big plan for this new called Shapado platform. And people will really love it not because of its new features and new release but the thing here is people can use it for free. - Garrett Hoelscher"

Ubuntu Desktop includes a graphical desktop environment. In versions prior to 11.04 the default GUI was GNOME Panel but it was dropped in favor of Unity, a graphical interface Canonical first developed for the Ubuntu Netbook Edition.-Missed Fortune
