=== Ubuntu 10.04 Release Party at Kanchipuram === Shrinivasan talks about the KanchiLUG team having an Ubuntu release party on June 6, 2010, with a vision to share the features of Linux to the general public. The release party was held at Pachaiyappan Higher Secondary School. They printed pamphlets and circulated the news via local newspapers. The chief guest of the event was Ramadas (amachu). The event started at 3.45 p.m. and ran till 6:45 p.m. with talks like History of Gnu/Linux, Open source and its concepts, Why Linux, and many other talks. The Chief Guest, Ramadhas, explained how the proprietary world is making us slave, the need of using Open source, the need of localizations, etc. He released the Ubuntu CD and the “Ubuntu Manual in Tamil”. The activities of KanchiLUG were explained and the audience was encouraged to the mailing list. Overall, it was a successful gathering with the audience totaling to around 75. http://kanchilug.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/ubuntu-10-04-release-party-at-kanchipuram/ === Sunday Special: Ubuntu Hour === The Ubuntu Massachusetts LoCo held an Ubuntu Hour on June 6, organised by David Wolfman in Arlington. They had 10 members show up for this social event and it was very successful. Martin has a few photos from the event in the blog. http://doctormo.org/2010/06/06/sunday-special-ubuntu-hour/ === Día del usuario Ubuntu ROCKED!!! === Efrain Valles had an unusual Día del Usuario Ubuntu in the middle of his sister-in-law’s wedding. He was scheduled to talk about Kubuntu and plasmoids. He followed most of it through a cellphone. At the time for his session, he pulled out his laptop, went to the very far side of the ballroom, and connected via his phone to give his talk. His talk reflected his newly found love for KDE. Many users, mostly gnome users where impressed by the idea and he believes this what makes KDE stand out from most desktop experiences. http://effiejayx.wordpress.com/2010/06/06/dia-del-usuario-ubuntu-rocked/ |

Shrinivasan talks about the KanchiLUG team having an Ubuntu release party on June 6, 2010, with a vision to share the features of Linux to the general public. The release party was held at Pachaiyappan Higher Secondary School. They printed pamphlets and circulated the news via local newspapers. The chief guest of the event was Ramadas (amachu). The event started at 3.45 p.m. and ran till 6:45 p.m. with talks like History of Gnu/Linux, Open source and its concepts, Why Linux, and many other talks. The Chief Guest, Ramadhas, explained how the proprietary world is making us slave, the need of using Open source, the need of localizations, etc. He released the Ubuntu CD and the “Ubuntu Manual in Tamil”. The activities of KanchiLUG were explained and the audience was encouraged to the mailing list. Overall, it was a successful gathering with the audience totaling to around 75.

Día del usuario Ubuntu ROCKED!!!
Efrain Valles had an unusual Día del Usuario Ubuntu in the middle of his sister-in-law’s wedding. He was scheduled to talk about Kubuntu and plasmoids. He followed most of it through a cellphone. At the time for his session, he pulled out his laptop, went to the very far side of the ballroom, and connected via his phone to give his talk. His talk reflected his newly found love for KDE. Many users, mostly gnome users where impressed by the idea and he believes this what makes KDE stand out from most desktop experiences.

Ubuntu’s Bleeding Edge, an act of niche journalism
Jeff Waugh discusses his new blog Ubuntu's Leading Edge which tracks Ubuntu's develpment branch. The blog will allow people who don't want to run all the alpha and beta releases to keep track of what is happening with Maverick Meerkat. So far Ubuntu's Leading Edge has posts on the first month of development, the Alpha 1 release, and information about the freeze for Alpha 1 and the uploads done during the freeze.
For more information on why Jeff decided to start Ubuntu's Leading Edge and about the blog see: http://bethesignal.org/blog/2010/06/04/ubuntu-bleeding-edge-niche-journalism/
