=== UDS Lucid - Kernel Summary ===

UDS Lucid was a busy time for the Kernel Team. We chose a new kernel for the Lucid Lynx release, we reviewed our policies for Stable Updates, reviewed our kernel delta and configuration, and much more. The purpose of this email is to give a very brief overview of our decisions and provide pointers to more detailed information for those who are interested.

The primary decision for the kernel team at UDS is to choose the base kernel version for the release. For Lucid this will be 2.6.32. This version has just released providing the maximum stabalisation time, it also is expected to be the kernel of choice for long term releases from other distributions. We will also keep ext4 as our primary filesystem.

We also reviewed our Stable Release Update policy, moving to a more upstream stable branch oriented policy. We will be taking upstream stable updates for longer and preferring those for Lucid.

We reviewed our Ubuntu delta, the drivers and patches we are carring. We plan to update all of our Ubuntu drivers except for drbd. drbd is primarily consumed by the server team and they use a dkms module to get a more up to date version. On the patch side we have identified a number of redundant patches which have been dropped and a number which should be moved upstream, activity which is on going.

We have decided to experiment with backporting newer kernels onto LTS releases for Lucid. This will involve provision of kernel from later cycles into Lucid, supported on certified platforms. The policy here is being firmed up now.

For graphics, we chose to enable Radeon Kernel Mode Settings by default and to seriously look at enabling Nouveau for Lucid. This should bring pretty boot to the majority of users.

For those who crave more detail on these and a couple of other key initiatives can find more information at the wiki page below, which we will be keeping up to date with the current state of the union for the kernel: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/UDSLucid

Daniel Holbach: Ubuntu Membership - debunking myths

One thing I really like about Ubuntu is that all kinds of contributions to Ubuntu are valued and recognised through Ubuntu membership. We have several hundreds of Ubuntu members already who have all kinds of backgrounds and all kinds of different areas of expertise. They are united by having made significant and sustained contributions to Ubuntu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership

There are a number of myths about Ubuntu membership that we want to debunk. If you come across somebody who’s uncertain about Ubuntu membership, tell them:

  • ALL kinds of contributions are welcome, not only technical contributions.
  • Launchpad Karma, number of uploads, etc. CAN be a determining factor, but they don’t need to be.
  • There is no strict time limit for “having been around <n> years before being able to apply”.

  • Apart from the Regional Membership Boards, the Edubuntu Council, MOTU Council and Kubuntu Council approve membership too.
  • Endorsements of fellow team members are important. Be a team player.
  • If you’re unsure if your contributions are significant and sustained, ask your team mates.
  • Read the Membership documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership

Together with the RMBs the CC just did a number of changes to the Membership document, I hope it’s much clearer now.

http://daniel.holba.ch/blog/?p=540

Matthew Helmke: Ubuntu Membership Myths Debunked

As a member of the Ubuntu Regional Membership Board for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, I thought I would help him (Daniel Holbach) out a bit.

As far as I am concerned, the most important factors for applicants are these:

  • Follow directions when creating your wiki page and put all the requested information on it to make it as easy as possible for the membership board to know what you have been doing, how, and with whom.
  • Get as many testimonials from others involved in those activities. If you have few or no testimonials, or if they are only marginally positive, this will hurt your application. We want to hear from people who are involved in the same project because we know they are best able to judge the quality of your contributions. If no one knows you, at least by name or nickname, then you haven’t been involved long enough or done enough for official membership in the community to be granted reasonably–give it a little more time and keep up the good work.

Jono Bacon: Lernid Gets Notifications, Browser Updates and Translations

I have added a bunch of new features this week to Lernid:

  • Notifications – events that are shown in the event list will now appear in the notification area. A notification bubble will pop up 10 minutes before an event begins to remind you it is starting.
  • Multiple Browser Pages – the browser view now has a drop-down box where you can select between different pages. This code is now ready for me to build in support for an URL to trigger a page load in the browser. This means that when you are watching a session and the session leader mentions an URL, the browser view will automatically update with the page. This provides an opportunity for the session leader to deliver content to that view in near real time: this is a first for these kinds of online learning sessions.
  • Translations – thanks to a patch from the always awesome David Planella, Lernid now makes use of the growing list of available translations. Lernid in your language: nice!

The code, bugs, translations and more are available in the Launchpage project. https://www.launchpad.net/lernid/ Screenshot at the link.

Ara Pulido: Lucid Alpha 1 is coming to town!

Next Thursday, December 10th, Lucid Lynx Alpha 1 is going to be released.We will be spending next week testing the ISOs and coordinating efforts in #ubuntu-testing Freenode IRC channel. http://ubuntutesting.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/old-friend-iso-testing-tracker/

If you are planning to help with the testing, start syncing your Lucid images now, to avoid network bottlenecks and last minute hurries. To sync your images, you can use the rsync URLS at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com, or use Steves Beattie’s script that do all the work for you. http://go2.wordpress.com/?id=725X1342&site=ubuntutesting.wordpress.com&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbazaar.launchpad.net%2F~ubuntu-bugcontrol%2Fubuntu-qa-tools%2Fmaster%2Fannotate%2Fhead%253A%2Fdl-ubuntu-test-iso%2Fdl-ubuntu-test-iso.py

Lucid knows when you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake! (and help us testing the candidate images…)

In The Press

First look at Kubuntu Netbook Edition 9.10 Technology Preview and the KDE Plasma-Netbook 4.4 interface

Caitlyn Martin of Distro Watch guesses that by now almost anyone who keeps up with Ubuntu knows about the Ubuntu Netbook Edition. What many people are not aware of is that there is now a Kubuntu Netbook Edition and an Ubuntu Moblin Remix in development as well. By the time Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" is released next April netbook users will have three Ubuntu variants customized for their smaller systems. From Martin's experience playing with it, Kubuntu Netbook Edition 9.10 really is incomplete. Despite the missing functionality and a few bugs it's pretty easy to see just how promising the Plasma-Netbook 4.4 desktop is. Martin was also pleasantly surprised that most of the issues fall into the category of inconveniences, not show-stopping problems. It's really surprising just how usable this pre-alpha development code already is. http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20091130

Five Years of Ubuntu

Christer Edwards of Packt Publishing outlines some of the things Ubuntu has brought to the Linux world, and what a major impact it has had in such a short amount of time. He has been using Ubuntu nearly that entire time, having joined the fun with the 5.04 release. Edwards says that if there is any one word that could sum up Ubuntu, it would be Community. Nearly everyone Edwards has met through Ubuntu in the last five years cites the community as the single major reason for their use. In many aspects, Ubuntu is technically equal to its competitors, but nowhere else will you find the same level of community support. http://www.packtpub.com/five-years-of-ubuntu/

'Ubuntu Needs a Longer Release Schedule!'

LinuxPlanet's Carla Schroder recognizes that the popular Ubuntu Linux's six-month release schedule keeps it in the public eye; every release is greeted with a barrage of news, reviews, praise, and complaints. It seems the last few releases have generated an increasing number of cries for longer release schedules, that six months is too short and results in too many bugs. Mark Shuttleworth discussed at length the importance and benefits of a short release cycle in his Linuxcon keynote: it generates excitement and keeps contributors motivated. And it follows the long-standing principles of "many eyes make all bugs shallow" and "release early, release often." Schroder decided to go to the source and ask Jono Bacon, the Ubuntu Community Manager, to explain the Ubuntu release cycle and clarify some of the whys and wherefores. Follow the link to see what they discussed. http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/6918/1/

Ubuntu X.org Guru Calls for Desktop Help

Kristian Kissling of Linux Magazine tells us that Bryce Harrington is agonizing over the nontrivial task of delivering a working X server for Ubuntu. On the Ubuntu desktop mailing list he speaks of a flood of bug reports and appeals to improving the situation. The X server must ideally cooperate with with open and closed ATI, NVIDIA and Intel cards, but not forget those from smaller providers, a fact that becomes most noticeable to users when they're sitting in front of blank screens instead of the desktop. The call for help from Ubuntu users keeps coming to Harrington as bug reports on Launchpad. Now Harrington is calling for help himself. His graph of bug reports for Karmic Koala in recent weeks "literally went off the chart," which prompted him to recommend concrete steps to avoid future X.org problems.

Nouveau DRM Getting Pulled Into Lucid Soon

Phoronix's Michael Larabel states that a week ago he found out that Nouveau would be pulled into Ubuntu 10.04 as the default NVIDIA graphics driver replacing the current open-source NVIDIA driver mess that is known as xf86-video-nv. A meeting was held on November 30th on IRC regarding Nouveau in Ubuntu's kernel, and with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS planning to ship with the Linux 2.6.32 kernel, which has no support for Nouveau, it's to be decided what DRM code to back-port into this Ubuntu kernel. Also being decided is whether to pull in all of the Nouveau code now and then pull in a more recent DRM snapshot when the Ubuntu 10.04 release nears, or whether to just selectively pull in new patches. Whatever the case, the first alpha freeze for Ubuntu Lucid is happening next week so expect some Nouveau DRM code to get pulled in shortly so that it will be present for Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 1. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzc1Mg

Ubuntu 10.04 May Backport Newer Kernels

Michael Larabel of Phoronix tells us that the Ubuntu kernel team has written a message on the Ubuntu announcement mailing list in which they lay out the kernel summary for Ubuntu Lucid. In this message the kernel team confirms that Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (the "Lucid Lynx") will indeed be shipping with the just-released Linux 2.6.32 kernel. By the time Ubuntu 10.04 rolls around in April, the Linux 2.6.33 kernel will have been released and the Linux 2.6.34 kernel will be in development, but the Ubuntu developers have decided to stick it out with the 2.6.32 kernel for a maximum stabilization period, especially since this is a Long-Term Support release. An interesting piece of news did come out of this message and that is the Ubuntu kernel team may end up back-porting newer kernels into Ubuntu Lucid. They will experiment with bringing kernels from newer Ubuntu releases (i.e. Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 11.04) back to the Lucid package repository. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzc3MA

Ubuntu's B-Sides: Alternative Apps

Ubuntu User's Kristian Kissling tells us that in his blog, Canonical coworker Jorge O. Castro announces his so-called "b-sides" of Ubuntu, software that didn't make it into Ubuntu's standard installation. Such "b-sides" will now be available for Ubuntu. Castro together with Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre assembled a PPA for these "killer Bs" that provide a selection of programs that Castro considers needing to be "classy" but couldn't be included in the standard installation due to CD space considerations. A metapackage called b-sides would load the bundle of software. Castro provided a b-sides list that includes OpenOffice, GNOME Do, Gwibber, Jokosher, Miro, Inkscape, gimp-data-extras and GNOME Scan. To install the apps, Ubuntu users can update their systems' software sources with the PPA and install the b-sides package. http://ubuntu-user.com/Online/News/Ubuntu-s-B-Sides-Alternative-Apps

Eucalyptus: Boosting Ubuntu’s Cloud Efforts?

Matt Weinberger, WorksWithU, in this article talks about Eucalyptus - "Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs to Useful Systems." Weinberger states that "For the Ubuntu cloud strategy to succeed, Canonical is going to need a big assist from Eucalyptus Systems" Weinberger asks "who exactly is Eucalyptus and is the company making progress with its own cloud efforts?" In this article he explains the company behind Eucalyptus and what efforts are being made to improve Eucalyptus. They questions which Weinberger is still exploring in "Who's Using Eucalyptus?" and "Are any businesses deploying Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud?" If you have a curiosity about Eucalyptus then check out this article there just might be a few facts that surprise you in there. http://www.workswithu.com/2009/11/29/eucalyptus-boosting-ubuntus-cloud-efforts/

Ubuntu CE 6.0 Beta Brings Dansguardian Fix

n an Article posted by beginlunix, the discussion turns to Parental control. If that is something that is important to you the Ubuntu CE (Christian Edition) 6.0 beta may have some answers for you. According to the article Ubuntu CE 6.0 beta released on Dec 3, 2009, includes a working version on Dansguardian (and internet filtering application). This article list some new features in Ubuntu CE as:

  • having a server edition
  • desktop version available in both 32 and 64 bit
  • changes in e-sword installer
  • Dansguardian gui improvements make internet and filer sharing easier

The Ubuntu CE version is said to operate very much like ubuntu their are a few differences in the desktop look, but according to the article still retain that Ubuntu feel. The focus of this though working parental control ability for those parents (or anyone working with kids) to have the ability to filter *easily* what get through on their computers. The writer discusses complete with screenshots the experience installing Ubuntu CE and setting up Dansguardian. Parental control is a topic being discussed on several fronts in the Ubuntu Community. If Parental Control is on your mind don't pass up the opportunity to read this article in full. http://beginlinux.wordpress.com/2009/12/03/ubuntu-ce-dansguardian-fi/
