=== Translators: you are awesome and you should be proud of it === http://davidplanella.wordpress.com/2010/10/15/translators-you-are-awesome-and-you-should-be-proud-of-it/ === Enabling Automatic Bug Expiry === What is about to change? Launchpad has always advertised that we auto-expire incomplete bugs matching certain conditions, but we haven’t done this for awhile now. We are ready to turn this feature back on. This means that bugs that are considered inactive will have their status automatically changed from Incomplete to Expired. For more detail on how Launchpad determines if a bug is inactive,visit our Bug Expiry help page. This change will take effect in about two weeks, sometime during the week of 18 October 2010. For more information go to: http://blog.launchpad.net/general/enabling-automatic-bug-expiry === Unity and uTouch === http://blog.canonical.com/?p=446 === Multitouch News === Duncan posted two blog entries with updates on multitouch in Ubuntu this week. The Ubuntu 10.10 release shipped with the new uTouch stack. He writes about how to get involved, posts a video demoing its features and writes about the Qt community and their involvement in the uTouch stack. http://oubiwann.blogspot.com/2010/10/ubuntu-1010-multi-touch-video.html http://oubiwann.blogspot.com/2010/10/multitouch-and-qt.html |

=== LoCo Teams on the Hall Of Fame === As you may know, during Maverick cycle we introduced statistics from our testers to be reflected in the Ubuntu Hall Of Fame. Well, now, and thanks to my good friend Daniel Holbach, we have, not only individual statistics, but also statistics by LoCo team. For more information go to: http://ubuntutesting.wordpress.com/2010/10/13/loco-teams-on-the-hall-of-fame/ === Logging of Ubuntu LoCo Teams core channels=== Greetings from the LoCo Council, We would like to take a moment and discuss some ideas with you about implementing LoCo Bot logging of #ubuntu- channels on freenode. There is a method to this madness, and this would only apply to #ubuntu-<loco-team-name> (*main channels only, not off-topic ones*). The LoCo Council have discussed the issue of LoCo-team channel logging with the IRC Council and we've taken advice from Jono Bacon, the Ubuntu Community manager. It was recommended to us that all LoCo teams should enable logging for their main channel, and that we open this up for discussion on this mailing list. For many Approved teams this is already a standard practice and we thank you for it, but we would like to encourage this practice among the rest of the teams for a couple of good reasons For more information go to: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2010-October/004997.html |

Stéphane reports on a new web based live system that allows you to try out Edubuntu from within your browser. In the future users will also be able to try out development releases without having to download or install. http://www.stgraber.org/2010/10/17/edubuntu-live-now-available-online === Dustin Kirkland: Introducing the Bikeshed Package! === Dustin, like many of us, has many scripts used locally to achieve all kinds of things. Some of these tools and utilities may be appropriate for packaging in Ubuntu, but often this never happens. Dustin created a Bikeshed branch in Launchpad where contributors can drop their scripts for wider use or for someone else to package up. http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2010/10/introducing-bikeshed-package.html === Martin Owens: Ubuntu Manga Chapter 7! === Martin has released the installfest chapter of the 'romantic comic' Ubunchu. He recommends it to anyone who is involved with advocacy. http://doctormo.org/2010/10/16/ubunchu-chapter-7-in-english-released/ === Jorge Castro: AskUbuntu Growing Fast === Jorge reports that the AskUbuntu support site has seen great growth recently and also suggests some tools that may be used to better use the site. Stackapplet allows you to monitor activities from your Ubuntu indicator area, while DroidStack keeps you up to date on the go on your Android device. http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1315470720/growing-fast |

## 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 - The Flagship Linux Desktop Distro === Jeff Hoogland says whether everyone likes it not, "Ubuntu has done wonders for the Linux desktop." He goes on to show data comparing Ubuntu and Linux in Google Trends. He ends with saying that Ubuntu has been the least painful to configure of all the distributions that he has used so far and the one he would recommend to all. http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2010/10/ubuntu-flagship-linux-desktop-distro.html === Kubuntu 10.10 === Jim Lynch does a thorough review of the Kubuntu 10.10 desktop. He looks at What's New, Installation, Default Software, and more. He rants a bit about a few things but overall gives a good rating. http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2010/10/13/kubuntu-10-10/ |

## Any news or links that don't fit neatly into other sections. | === The Trouble With GUIs === Like everything else in life, it boils down to having the right tool for the right job ... and the command line is like that all-purpose screwdriver that we all have," said Slashdot blogger Barbara Hudson. "It opens paint cans, makes a handy chisel, pry bar and wedge -- we grab it, get the job done, and move on. http://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/71030.html?wlc=1287202723 === 42 day widget === Yesterday [October 10, 2010] we [Canonical Design Team] successfully released the new versions of Ubuntu family. As you all know, yesterday was such a special date which occurs every 100 years: 10/10/10. But if you are a fan of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, as we are, you would also know that 42 is THE answer. Since 101010 is 42 in binary, and Ubuntu is our 42, we couldn’t help to take this date very seriously. To celebrate this special event where hopes, people and bits get together, we created a little widget that you can easily embed on your website (more pictures on the way): For more info about it and how to use it, please visit http://design.canonical.com/wp-content/themes/canonical-design/42day/ http://design.canonical.com/2010/10/42-day-widget/ === Planning and Executing the Linaro Cycle === The Linaro release cycle is similar to the Ubuntu one but does has some subtle differences, specifically around the planning stages. This presentation shows how Linaro plans, implements and finally releases software every six months. The slides for this presentation can be found on slideshare.net and are available in many formats on my Linaro wiki page. http://www.linuxuk.org/2010/10/planning-and-executing-the-linaro-cycle/ === Full Circle Podcast on YouTube === In a bold (and some say rash) experiment, the Full Circle Podcast is on YouTube. We’ve created a YouTube channel for the Podcast with two episodes. Podcast Episode #11 in individual segments as audio-with-banner, Side-Pod #4 in two parts: Part one is the news/opinion section, part 2 is our first Screencast of sorts http://fullcirclemagazine.org/2010/10/11/full-circle-podcast-on-youtube/ |

Enabling Automatic Bug Expiry
What is about to change? Launchpad has always advertised that we auto-expire incomplete bugs matching certain conditions, but we haven’t done this for awhile now. We are ready to turn this feature back on. This means that bugs that are considered inactive will have their status automatically changed from Incomplete to Expired. For more detail on how Launchpad determines if a bug is inactive,visit our Bug Expiry help page. This change will take effect in about two weeks, sometime during the week of 18 October 2010.

LoCo Teams on the Hall Of Fame
As you may know, during Maverick cycle we introduced statistics from our testers to be reflected in the Ubuntu Hall Of Fame. Well, now, and thanks to my good friend Daniel Holbach, we have, not only individual statistics, but also statistics by LoCo team.

=== Logging of Ubuntu LoCo Teams core channels===
Greetings from the LoCo Council, We would like to take a moment and discuss some ideas with you about implementing LoCo Bot logging of #ubuntu- channels on freenode. There is a method to this madness, and this would only apply to #ubuntu-<loco-team-name> (*main channels only, not off-topic ones*).
The LoCo Council have discussed the issue of LoCo-team channel logging with the IRC Council and we've taken advice from Jono Bacon, the Ubuntu Community manager. It was recommended to us that all LoCo teams should enable logging for their main channel, and that we open this up for discussion on this mailing list.
For many Approved teams this is already a standard practice and we thank you for it, but we would like to encourage this practice among the rest of the teams for a couple of good reasons

Stéphane Graber: Edubuntu live now available online
Edubuntu has been available on Live DVD for a few releases now, but what if a DVD is too big for you just to try it out? Stéphane reports on a new web based live system that allows you to try out Edubuntu from within your browser. In the future users will also be able to try out development releases without having to download or install.

Dustin Kirkland: Introducing the Bikeshed Package!
Dustin, like many of us, has many scripts used locally to achieve all kinds of things. Some of these tools and utilities may be appropriate for packaging in Ubuntu, but often this never happens. Dustin created a Bikeshed branch in Launchpad where contributors can drop their scripts for wider use or for someone else to package up.

Ubuntu - The Flagship Linux Desktop Distro
Jeff Hoogland says whether everyone likes it not, "Ubuntu has done wonders for the Linux desktop." He goes on to show data comparing Ubuntu and Linux in Google Trends. He ends with saying that Ubuntu has been the least painful to configure of all the distributions that he has used so far and the one he would recommend to all.

The Trouble With GUIs
Like everything else in life, it boils down to having the right tool for the right job ... and the command line is like that all-purpose screwdriver that we all have," said Slashdot blogger Barbara Hudson. "It opens paint cans, makes a handy chisel, pry bar and wedge -- we grab it, get the job done, and move on.

42 day widget
Yesterday [October 10, 2010] we [Canonical Design Team] successfully released the new versions of Ubuntu family. As you all know, yesterday was such a special date which occurs every 100 years: 10/10/10. But if you are a fan of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, as we are, you would also know that 42 is THE answer. Since 101010 is 42 in binary, and Ubuntu is our 42, we couldn’t help to take this date very seriously. To celebrate this special event where hopes, people and bits get together, we created a little widget that you can easily embed on your website (more pictures on the way):

Planning and Executing the Linaro Cycle
The Linaro release cycle is similar to the Ubuntu one but does has some subtle differences, specifically around the planning stages. This presentation shows how Linaro plans, implements and finally releases software every six months. The slides for this presentation can be found on slideshare.net and are available in many formats on my Linaro wiki page.
