First million votes

Already one million votes have been cast on ideas by Ubuntu users! Whoah!

Call for moderators for project-specific Brainstorm frontends

At the moment, ideas at Ubuntu Brainstorm can concern any project, Ubuntu-related or upstream. That's nice, but as a project maintainer, you may want more visibility with a part of the website dedicated to your project and an easier way to deal with your ideas, by having some control over them.

That's what is coming next! If you are willing to moderate it, you can ask for a brainstorm.ubuntu.com/project_name/ area. This "subsection" will be like the current Brainstorm site, and use the same idea database, but ideas will be filtered by your project - it's basically a Brainstorm frontend for your project.

If you are interested, you can ask for it for the next update on the mailing list or in IRC (#ubuntu-testing). So who wants a Xubuntu or Kubuntu Brainstorm frontend? :)

Ideas XML export

Of course, for project maintainers who are interested in the feedback and who want to use their own tools, an idea XML export will be provided at the next update.

Wouldn't this be more likely

Wouldn't this be more likely integrated into launchpad or be rebranded, i mean more open source general without the ubuntu part?

Don't see why the ubuntu

Don't see why the ubuntu part should be going away. Ubuntu helped make it and provides the hosting, why should it not get some credit?

(if you have a beef with ubuntu, brainstorm wouldn't be good for the ego anyway)

The brainstorm code will eventually become project neutral, see the roadmap here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brainstorm/TODOlist.

(and ATM, with some code tweak, Brainstorm can be used for others purpose. See the installation instruction and ConcernedCitizen.co.uk, an example of tweaked Brainstorm.)

Will there be a site that lists where these brainstorms are? If they are going to use other URL's then we need to know where to find them.

And btw, a Kubuntu brainstorm? Woo Hoo!
