no localised Australian CD ISO

[Joel Pickett]

there needs to be an Ubuntu CD ISO image localised for the Australian Team for the area of Australia

[Joel Pickett (jpickett)]

no such thing exists as of Oct 2011

OK, what do we need to do this? I guess a desktop image with a more Australian theme? Don't we need to stay with the default colours as much as possible, otherwise we risk breaking the default theme?.

As a photographer I have a few ideas about this, along the the lines of a very photo-shopped and abstracted image.

Also the Australian translations which I understand are in progress. Do we have to spin the ISO ourselves, or is there an official process?

Hi Chris,

This bug is related to the following blueprint -- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-au-iso-l10n

it's nothing as such official yet, just drafting a few ideas on the possibilities.

The full spec of that blueprint loosely ties into the main desktop iso localisation bp at -- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-cd-localization

I've merely just copied over the things that would apply to us. Anyone can spin the iso's but we need to come to a consensus as a team as to what to include (will be a work in progress very soon). At the bottom of the main bp, you'll find details on how to customise/localise a version of Ubuntu -- note you'll need an oneiric or late machine.

We ship all translations for the installer with the installer, if there is network connectivity language packs are fetched at install time (e.g. Australian English) and thus on first boot one has Australian English experience.

I believe this bug was more to do with full localisation rather than just language packs, hence it was assigned to the LoCo and was a general Ubuntu bug. For further detail please see the linked blueprint in the comments.

I'm going to change it back to what it was prior to the recent changes, please let me know if there are any issues that need addressing in the original bug.
