The design team is planning to run design "theater" sessions at UDS. As a general rule, the design works on Canonical projects. It is our opportunity and pleasure during UDS to dedicate some time to help with other free open source software. What is Design Theater?

There are a large number of existing .ubuntu.com sub-domains. Finding these is reliant on word-of-mouth or google. I propose we have a top-level URL or a well-advertised page on wiki.ubuntu.com that lists the available sub-domains such as: archive.ubuntu.com brainstorm.ubuntu.com cdimages.ubuntu.com changelogs.ubuntu.com ddebs.ubuntu.com fridge.ubuntu.com friendly.ubuntu.com harvest.ubuntu.com help.ubuntu.com irclogs.ubuntu.com isoserver.qa.ubuntu.com keyserver.ubuntu.com manpages.ubuntu.com merges.ubuntu.com one.ubuntu.com package-import.ubuntu.com paste.ubuntu.com planet.ubuntu.com reports.qa.ubuntu.com status.ubuntu.com testcases.qa.ubuntu.com unity.ubuntu.com wiki.ubuntu.com     :     : et cetera. Nice touches would be to: - Use friendly icons - Provide very brief description of each sub-domain. - Group the sites by categories such as:   - user type (user, developer, admin)   - product applicability (desktop, server, cloud)?
