Call for Ubuntu User Days Instructors
It's time to start planning for the second Ubuntu User Day! This time it will be held on June 5, 2010. We are going to attempt to fill 24 time slots so that everyone around the world has the ability to participate in the User Day! You can find out more information about Ubuntu User Days by visiting the Ubuntu User Day wiki page [1] or the planning wiki page [2]. To sign up to lead a session, visit the Course Suggestions wiki page [3] and look through the course suggestions that we have provided. We are also willing to take your suggestions on other courses to teach, just keep in mind that Ubuntu User Days are geared towards new and newer Ubuntu Users. You can see the logs [4] from the last Ubuntu User Day to see some of the courses that were taught then.

Maverick UDS Translations Sessions
http://davidplanella.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/maverick-uds-translations-sessions/
Patch Day Success!
The first Patch Day [1], was held on May 5, 2010. We were able to review 111 bugs with patches over a 49 hour period. There were 185 un-reviewed bugs in the queue at the start of Patch Day which came down to 74 un-reviewed bugs by the end of the day [2], and down to 69 as of now.
I'd like to thank all the folks who helped us review patches. Your assistance has helped us do 60% of what we targeted. Review Leads, thank for volunteering your time in helping with Patch Day.
Patch Day is a concept similar to Hug Days, where we will test patches and forward working patches upstream. If the bug is critical enough, we will try to get the patch applied in Ubuntu immediately. We'd like your help to get these submissions reviewed and if necessary sent upstream so that they don't bit-rot and to encourage people to continue helping us improve open source software.

Ubuntu Open Week en Español closes on high note
The Spanish speaking community wrapped up its Ubuntu Open week. The IRC sessions offered the community a chance to learn, network and share. The event was organized by the Central American LoCo ninjas. Sessions covered topics like, new features in the different desktops, Community building, Documentation session, Bug triaging,General community orientation, and even a historical recap session highlighting all the achievements of Ubuntu as a project so far.
This Open Week featured the use of Lernid, which made joining much easier for people who had never used IRC before and ClaseBot, a ClassBot clone made ready by the great Nathan Handler and the ClassBot folks. A special session dedicated to feedback also gave users an open mic to express their opinions on the event. the session was very refreshing and energizing for the organizing party. It was a very interesting week filled with Ubuntu spirit for all participants. Looking forward to Ubuntu User Day.

Call For Nominations for the Ubuntu Women Leader Leadership Committee are now open
Early this week Amber Graner, the current leader of the Ubuntu Women Project, opened up nominations for the Ubuntu Women Project Leadership Committee.
Amber writes, the Ubuntu Women Project Team is moving from the transitional appointed Leader to a New Ubuntu Women Project Leadership Committee of 3 co-leaders. This committee is loosely based on the TresChix approach that some chapters of LinuxChix use.
For More information on the team elections please go to: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess
Ubuntu Open Week – Lucid: Community, Canonical, Collaboration
Ubuntu Open Week took place last week. It was the 8th Open Week to date. Ubuntu Open Week is a week long event with everything from “Ask Mark” (an hour long Q&A session where Ubuntu Founder and Canonical VP of Product Design answers questions from the community) to an introduction to Ubuntu development.
There were Q&A sessions from the Canonical Desktop, Server, Kernel and Community teams. I thought that was awesome – the Canonical developers really take time to make themselves available to the community and answer curious questions or just point to how the community can particular areas of Ubuntu. Speaking of community participation, Jorge Castro, from the Community team, gave instruction on how people who want to contribute to the Maverick Meerkat, Ubuntu 10.10 release can do so through remote participation.
This Open Week also had sessions focused on empowering LoCo teams. Members from the LoCo Council were on hand to answer questions from community in their LoCo Council Q&A session Leandro Gomez 's session on Marketing your LoCo Team ,

This is a friendly reminder to get your travel subsidy requests in sooner rather than later*. As many of you have noticed, The KDE Akademy conference has been growing in size over the years. We try our best to provide support to community members to attend, but funding is always limited. Many of you are familiar with the travel request procedure, but everyone should review the reimbursement policy to be familiar of any policy changes. Also, when you send your request please include a summary estimate of costs when you request travel funding. * Two weeks before the event is later rather than sooner. http://obso1337.org/2010/akademy-2010-travel-requests/
The Philippines 2010 Election will be using an electronic counting machine for the first time. The Linux-powered machines were provided by Smartmatic and the ROMs are managed by (and supposedly programmed in) Ubuntu. Yes, Ubuntu has a major role to play, albeit obscurely, in our country’s history. http://blog.knightlust.com/?p=237
Michael Larabel, writing for Phoronix, took a look at the two operating systems on a variety of equipment to try to find out. This series of tests concentrated on gaming, with some desktop testing at the end. Although some tests were close or favored Ubuntu 10.04, most of them showed Windows 7 a clear leader. Intel's Linux drivers seemed to have the most problem, but the NVidia, AMD and ATI seem to hold their own in many cases. The article is very detailed in it's results of the tests, and provides valuable information. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_windows_part1&num=1
Michael Larabel, writing for Phoronix, looked at the power consumption of netbooks and notebooks for both Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. The tests were made on fresh installs at idle, then with the latest proprietary drivers installed. Netbook power consumption was significantly less for Windows 7. On the notebooks the power consumption totals were much closer, but with Windows 7 still coming out better. See the results of the tests at the link. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_windows_part2&num=1
Michael Larabel of Phoronix reports that Mark Shuttleworth has determined that the GNOME shell will not be the default for Ubuntu 10.10, though it will be available in the repositories. This, according to Michael, will give the GNOME Shell developers more time to stabilize the work and the X.Org/Mesa developers to further improve the graphics stack. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODIxNg
Jim Lynch, of Desktop Linux Reviews, looks at Kubuntu 10.04, and isn't particularly pleased with what he sees in comparison to the GNOME installation. He steps the reader through the install process with lots of screen shots to show the ease of installation. His initial problem is that the branding and theme appear to be generic, rather than *bunutu branding, though you can change the theme, wallpaper and icons readily enough. KPackagekit is another disappointment compared to the SoftwareCenter in Ubuntu. Lack of a social networking application, like Gwibber, was also a disappointment. Likewise, the lack of UbuntuOne with the music store and online service didn't make any sense to him. Over all, he felt that he couldn't recommend Kubuntu 10.04 to anyone http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2010/05/03/kubuntu-linux-10-04-lts-lucid-lynx/
Six months ago Bryan Lunduke declared Ubuntu 9.10 to be the best version of Linux he had ever used on a desktop computer. In fact, he went on to call it “almost perfect“. The only thing that kept it from being perfect was that it wasn't a LTS version. So Ubuntu 10.04 is important. This is a release we are going to be using for the next two years, and it is the release that many companies will measure up against Windows and MacOS X. But how does it stack up? Ubuntu 10.04 ups the ante significantly by bringing polished features that Windows 7 and MacOS X users simply do not have. The user experience is clean and elegant, with an almost timeless quality to it. The functionality is advanced and the integration between applications superb. Add to this the fact that Ubuntu 10.04 has 3 years of full support ahead of it, and it is by far, the best operating system for desktops, laptops and netbooks available today.
Every Ubuntu release is followed by Ubuntu Open Week during which Mark Shuttleworth holds a Q&A session where users can ask him pretty much anything. A condensed selection of highlights follow: The full transcript can be read @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekLucid/AskMark http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/mark-shuttleworth-no-gnome-shell-in.html
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols of ComputerWorld likes Ubuntu 10.04 a lot, but while he likes its GNOME 2.30 interface, he also likes other interfaces such as KDE. It would be nice if Ubuntu could also play MP3s, common video formats, and Flash from the get-go. You can install all these, and other extras from the Ubuntu repositories, but there's also a wide-variety of Ubuntu spin-offs that come ready to give you the functionality you want right out of the box. For Steven's summary on the other Ubuntu versions, including his take on each one, visit the link below. http://blogs.computerworld.com/16044/the_other_ubuntu_linux_distributions
Christopher Tozzi at WorksWithU posts a review of the new Ubuntu Manual that was created for 10.04 by the team lead by Benjamin Humphrey. The Ubuntu Manual is aimed at non-technical new users. Christopher likes the manual and says it reaches out well to non-geeks by not going into every little detail and every little option availible. Instead they worked on making the default instlal as clear to the new user as possible. He is also impressed with how well organized and presented the Ubuntu Manual is, especially compaired to some of the Ubuntu Wiki pages, which are not always well written or edited. Christopher does admit that it's not as complete as the wiki, but says that's okay as it covers everything he can think of that a new, non-technical user might want to know. Christopher seems quite happy to be able to have the Ubuntu Manual as something he can direct new users to. To post a full review, see: http://www.workswithu.com/2010/05/03/ubuntu-10-04-gets-free-manual/
Earlier this year, MuleSoft approached us with the desire to partner and offer to work with Canonical to improve our default java container, Tomcat, for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server. The idea was to make Tomcat on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS easier to download, install, and configure on Ubuntu than JBOSS is on RHEL. The Ubuntu Server engineering team worked with Mulesoft engineering to update Tomcat upstream and those updates were pulled into Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. We are now pleased to announce that the Apache Tomcat package for Ubuntu has been updated and refreshed to the latest Apache release (6.0.26). Mulesoft is a great example of our ISV community stepping up with key community contributions. With Ubuntu being community driven, Mulesoft worked closely with Ubuntu Server engineering to bring the Tomcat packages up to the latest release and pushed those changes upstream. Contributions from the community are key to the success of Ubuntu. MuleSoft also provides enterprise class support for running Apache Tomcat on Ubuntu Server in mission-critical deployments. If you use Tomcat and have servers running in test or production, check out MuleSoft’s add-on product for Tomcat, called Tcat Server. http://blog.canonical.com/?p=376
ZaReason has kindly come forth as a sponsor for the Ubuntu Women World Play Day competition! Cathy and Earl of ZaReason have kindly offered their support by donating a Terra A20 netbook[1] and a gold USB necklace[2]. [1]: http://zareason.com/shop/product.php?productid=16216&cat=250&page=1 [2]: http://zareason.com/shop/product.php?productid=16225&cat=255&page=1 This means that the competition can now offer 3 prizes! Not only that, after contacting Canonical CEO Jane Silber, we can confirm that she would be honoured to choose the second netbook prize! For a listing of all the donated prizes, and information on the drawings, please visit the link below. http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2034
Canonical LTD, is currently the only Linux company to license H.264/AVC, the patented non-free technology used to compress video and favoured by companies such as Apple & Microsoft for HTML5 Video. What’s interesting is that the rival to H.264, is the free and open codec, Ogg Theroa. One would naturally assume it would be the favored choice for a Linux distribution’s parent to support. With Canonical putting their weight behind H.264, and already having the most popular desktop Linux distribution, this might tip the scales to H264 adoption for HTML5 video on the web. And does this mean Ubuntu 10.04 LTS users are covered and can install H.264 to their systems without worrying about patent issues?
Matt Asay of Caonical says: "I’ve been at Canonical for just over three months now, and have only met a fraction of the company’s 330-plus employees. Those that I have met, however, are exceptional. This is, of course, one of the core mantras that drives Canonical: hire the best of the best, wherever they may live. In this picture you can see three of those “best of the best,” and some of my favorite people (from left to right): Rick Spencer (Engineering Manager, Desktop with the most understated sense of humor in anyone I know), James Troup (IT guru and slipper wearer), and Matt Zimmerman (CTO and rock star)." "These people are why I love Canonical. The products we work on are great, and the customers who are joining us are awesome. But the people with whom I get to interact every day…? Exceptional." "If you care to join Canonical and think you would enjoy working alongside this crowd, take a look at our jobs page and let me know where you’d fit."
