I have a domain name that i’m interested in doing something with, ubuntuskills.org, i’m thinking of some kind of “i use ubuntu desktop/server and here’s my skill set” site, but other than that i’m not sure….any ideas? Answers on a post card to……


To prevent problems, have you checked with Canonical if it’s OK for you to use the word ‘ubuntu’ on that domain?
(Presuming Canonical will let you use a domain with “Ubuntu” in it)
I’d say a little webapp that users can go and put checkmarks next to applications to show their level of skill with that application. And if you wanted to get really fancy, add quizzes so they have to prove they know their stuff
It would be pretty cool if you could have a job section where users could give there skills with links to there CV’s, linkedIn addy’s and so forth. Then you could even have a map with the world and it could make job locations or qualifying users registered on the site. That we people like me, looking for a job in Ubuntu Linux can find locations were I would like to live and other what not.
You could even have job places with reviews from employees.
Email if you would like help, I have plenty of ideas.
