Andres Rodriguez: Ubuntu Presentation!

Posted 1 day ago by roaksoax

On November the 21st and November the 22nd, there will be the “I Free Software Conference and Installation Festival” at National University of San Agustin, Arequipa - Peru. It is a great pleasure for me to announce that the Ubuntu ... [More] Peruvian LoCo Team is going to participate giving a presentation of “Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex”. Btw, I’m the one who’s giving it =). I’m also going to talk about “HA-Clusters in Ubuntu”, which is a topic related to my thesis.

Well, anyways, It is also great to announce that Richard Stallman will be participating on the 22nd, giving a conference about “Human Rights for Software Users”. This event will gather almost 250 people. So, if someone from Arequipa - Perú gets to read this post, I hope to see you there!

Btw, The National University of San Agustin is migrating to Ubuntu… So, it is following UNMSN example. Well, wish me luck because after tomorrow, many people will be turning to Ubuntu :).

Jorge Castro: Hassle the HOF

Posted 1 day ago by jorge castro

Jono recently unveiled the Ubuntu Hall of Fame.

To sum it up: the community is full of great contributors from all around the world, and we want to showcase that, so check it out and thank someone.

Each box has a little (i) icon in ... [More] it, which will take you to information about that part of Ubuntu if you want to get started and start your path to greatness. People have pointed out that it is missing some parts - I assure you that we are aware that things like the forums and Answers on lp are missing and they are on the TODO list.

The "Upstream Bug Rockstars" box is related to our upstream report, showing which projects have great bug linkages to upstream projects, so if you've been forwarding and linking bugs, thanks! [Less]

Emma Jane Hogbin: You are the r0xx0r!

Posted 1 day ago by emmajane

I don't get a lot of fan mail. But I'm pretty sure I just got the world's best intentioned, but poorly thought out, fan letter:

Love yer site, your Drupal work, and omfg, you're even into the Ubuntu doc-team. I think that is the grandest ... [More] , and I'll likely gawk atcha in DC during DrupalCon where a 3D screensaver / wallpaper, and general graphic homage will be born out due to a slick time lapse photo montage shall ensue, et. al. ;->
Keep on rockin' in the free world. :-)

The identity of this person will forever be known to only two people (me and "him"), so please don't ask. Although I am a little bit creeped out by this email, this Public Service Announcement isn't about making anyone feel uncomfortable. (I've sent my fair share of weird emails that have been fuelled by inside jokes and caffeine and not at all fuelled by sanity, so I'm hardly one to judge. This person has gotten a quick reply back and knows how I feel about the email.) 

This blog post is actually a specific request to please never "gawk" at me from a distance. Say hello and introduce yourself! I verge on crowd-phobic. I hate having to interact with a room full of pre-clustered people. Delivering a presentation to a few hundred people? No problem. Facilitating huge discussion groups? Love it! But I'd rather have teeth pulled than "work a room." So the next time we're both together in the same room, please come up and introduce yourself. I'll be the one sitting in the corner noodling with tech to avoid having to break into a cluster of people and say hi. [Less]

Justin Dugger: New Ubuntu Store

Posted 1 day ago

Seemingly in response to an earlier post of mine, Canonical has recently launched a US based store. Since they've gone to the trouble to risk taking my advice, I suppose it's only fair that I shill a bit for them.

Prices before were close to ... [More] 40 dollars for a shirt after taxes and shipping. They're now closer to 25, and I think I'll put in an order at that price.

The store's new, so it's not yet perfected -- they ship a fun set of stickers via UPS Ground, a 7 dollar charge for something that could probably be sent for 42 cents. That's okay, system76 still offers stickers for the price of a SASE (?) as a draw (and sales lead) to their store.

One product suggestion: Aluminum case badges. [Less]
