Hi guys, me and Dylan have been talking about this offline and it's
definitely time we open the discussion to everyone.

Since the last release the last slide (mainly used for support) changed.
While the copy still talks about askubuntu.com, instead of the typical
screenshot layout now the slideshow background is visible and there is a
Twitter feed.

I am not sure when this change happened and who did it, but my
understanding is that it is serving the purpose of acknowledging the user
about the breath of the install base (many languages many topics).

Being the last slide it is quite important so it would be great if we can
discuss this solution further.


While I understand the motivation of advertising something different than
askubuntu for not English speaker, I think that a moderation will be
necessary. My concern is that when a moderation will be in place, this
breath of users (especially because moderating in different languages is
very difficult) will get missing.

Because we are close to release, and because such moderation is not in
place yet, I wonder if we should just revert back to the slide how it was
in 11.10.


What do you think guys?


Cheers, chr
