Borrador apoyo a Shapado

Hi Ubunter@s

As many people know, almost one month ago Evan Dandrea was asking for
LoCo Teams support of the creation of one dedicated site on Stack
Exchange Network for Ubuntu [1].

Ubuntu Colombia was making some testing of one similar platform called
Shapado 4 months ago. This platform besides giving us similar
functionalities, have many improvements on communication with other
(social) networks, translations in many languages and many others [2].
And the big advantage over Stack Exchange Network is that it's Free
Software under GNU Affero General Public License (same of
Launchpad.net).

They are really open to suggestions, and also have many developers
compromised with Free Software, Ubuntu and communities. Their
development is under Ruby on Rails, Linux and MongoDB.
Example: http://ubuntu.shapado.com/questions/what-would-be-a-good-openid-icon-for-launchpad

We, Ubuntu Colombia, believe that Free Software must be used and
supported by us, a big community helping a big software. And,
additional to this support, we reject the wish of support to the
proprietary software used on Stack Networks.

We and the Shapado community are waiting their LoCo Teams supports to
raise Shapado as THE free and bigger website of questions and answers
on the Internet.

Hey follows, we don't have any excuse to not use Shapado and give some
love to the free software community, we are waiting for you.

Just use it!!
