=== Ubuntu Honduras === Ubuntu Honduras kicked off the 2010 year of activities with a team pizza party where they discussed upcoming events for 2010, and welcomed new members. The team set the agenda for the next 3 months which includes, an Ubuntu presentation at Universidad de San Pedro Sula, and a two hour talk at the T3 conference Escuela Internacional Sanpedrana. The team is also discussing a couple of workshops they hope to have. One for team members to help them gain experience and improve their knowledge of Ubuntu, and the second that they will have at area universities. Pictures of the pizza party are here: http://picasaweb.google.com/elvira.martinez38/PrimerPizzaBashSanPedroSula2010# http://blog.diegoturcios.net16.net/?p=382 |

| ## Things Ubuntu-specific are great, but general Linux goings-on are good to, to an extent. ## We don't need to replicate Digg & Slashdot, but certain things are of special interest. ## Just pulling one example from my memory, the story about Indiana schools piloting ## a classroom Linux deployment, a portion of which was Ubuntu, are good. Ubuntu ## release reviews are also common items in this section. |
=== Nouveau From 2.6.33 Prepped For Ubuntu 10.04 === Michael Larabel of Phoronix recalls that back in November he shared that Nouveau would finally be pulled into the Ubuntu 10.04 kernel as up to this point Canonical had employed the feature-limited and obfuscated open-source NVIDIA driver known as xf86-video-nv. The plans to switch over to Nouveau with kernel mode-setting support for Ubuntu 10.04 were great, but then in December the Nouveau driver got pulled into the Linux 2.6.33 kernel which complicated matters for Ubuntu as they already were set with using the Linux 2.6.32 kernel for the 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" release. It looks like the Canonical kernel developers have decided to pull the Nouveau DRM from the 2.6.33-rc4 kernel, and the Nouveau KMS code will be pulled in for the next alpha release. Follow this link for more information: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzkyNw === Updates Coming For Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS === Phoronix's Michael Larabel tells us that Canonical's Jos Boumans sent out an e-mail on the Ubuntu development mailing list to outline some of the new plans going forward for Ubuntu Server with the 10.04 release. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Alpha 2 came out just nine days ago, but Jos is hoping to incorporate these new Ubuntu Server changes prior to the Alpha 3 release that is scheduled for the end of February. To be worked on for Ubuntu Server 10.04 Alpha 3 is migrating from My``SQL 5.0 to My``SQL 5.1, an upgrade to Eucalyptus 1.6.2, PHP/Python/Perl libraries for Amazon's cloud computing platform, integrating Puppet and Etckeeper, boothooks and user based configuration for UEC/EC2, and various QA improvements. For the Ubuntu Server 10.04 release the community also hopes to provide Asterisk integration, an Ubuntu Cluster Stack, Ubuntu Server Containers for LXC and Open``VZ, and integration of Amavisd-new, Spamassassin, and Clamav. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzkxNA === Yahoo Pays Canonical, Now They're The Ubuntu Default === Michael Larabel of Phoronix reports that Canonical's Rick Spencer has written about two small changes that are happening to Mozilla Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04. The first is the default Ubuntu home-page with its search box in Firefox will now follow whatever the user has set as their default search engine in Firefox. The second change is that Canonical is changing the default search engine for Firefox in Ubuntu to Yahoo. Google has always been the default search engine in Ubuntu's Firefox, but now it's changing to Yahoo beginning with Lucid Lynx. Canonical is changing the default search path over to Yahoo as the two companies have negotiated a revenue sharing deal off the advertisements when using Yahoo search on Ubuntu. Users can still switch Firefox to using Google search with a couple clicks, but Canonical is hoping this change will yield them some additional revenue. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzkyNg |
