Activities

  • Organized Slovenian Karmic Koala Release Party. Free (as in beer) drinks and snacks were provided by local sponsors.

  • Organized Slovenian Maverick Meerkat Release Party. Free (as in beer) drinks and snacks were provided by local sponsors. This time I managed to raise more funds and we had an awesome Ubuntu cake for everybody. Both parties attracted around 80 people which is quite a number for such an event around here.

  • As a former President of Lugos User Group of Slovenia I am still working with them trying to tie LUG and Ubuntu Slovenia Team for future projects.
  • Gwibber micro blogging client development includes support for sending direct messages via Twitter and Identi.ca.
  • Various talks and lectures about Ubuntu on more than a couple of events in Slovenia.

  • A lot of Ubuntu advocacy on local forums most notably Slo-Tech and various IRC channels including #ubuntu-si on Freenode.

  • Various Blog posts on Ubuntu on my personal blog www.twm-kd.com.

  • Added preliminary support for gstreamer to Kazam screen capture utility in development.

  • Recently started with Slovenian LoCo initiative, our community would benefit from it.

Future Plans

  • Continue with active development on Gwibber - currently adding friends/followers lists and couple of other new features.

  • Re-approval of Slovenian LoCo, I believe that our community efforts are decent enough and that we could be officially approved LoCo team.

  • Ubuntu Developer Workshop is planned for early 2011. Where I will provide support for local developers who would like to work on Ubuntu. Introduction of developer tools, from launchpad to bzr and vim editor.
  • Unity - The Future of Ubuntu, talk in early 2011.
  • Natty Narwhal Release Party in Spring 2011.
