General Community News

UWN Catchup, Help the Graner Family

We've been a bit silent over the last three weeks. This has been in part due to the very busy Ubuntu Developer Summit, but also because our great editor, Amber Graner had the misfortune of her house being burnt down during UDS leaving nothing left. Fortunately, her family (including the dog) are safe and unharmed.

This issue will be a bulk issue covering news items from the last three weeks. If we missed something, please let us know and we'll be delighted to include it in the next issue.

A fundraiser has been established to help the Graner family. If you are interested, please read further on the Ubuntu-News site:

http://ubuntu-news.org/2010/10/29/help-the-graner-family/

Ubuntu 11.04 to Ship Unity

Mark Shuttleworth just announced at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Orlando that we will be shipping the Unity environment in the Ubuntu desktop edition. Unity is the environment we shipped on the Ubuntu Netbook Edition for the first time in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, and users and OEMs have been enjoying the experience. It is an environment that is inspired by great design, touch, and a strong and integrated experience.

I think this is a fantastic opportunity for Free Software, and this is going to be a busy cycle. We have a lot of work to do, and we know that quality is a firm focus for this release, and we have identified a solid set of issues we need to focus on and resolve, but I know the final product will be something that we will all be proud of. Another key focus is performance; we have already started porting Unity from Mutter to Compiz and the initial work is much faster, most notably on hardware that has traditionally had the most trouble from bug reports. Quality meets design meets performance. Together as a community we can make this rock.

There is going to be some questions about this decision in relation to GNOME. I want to make something crystal clear: Ubuntu is a GNOME distribution, we ship the GNOME stack, we will continue to ship GNOME applications, and we optimize Ubuntu for GNOME. The only difference is that Unity is a different shell for GNOME, but we continue to support the latest GNOME Shell development work in the Ubuntu archives.

http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/

Unity on Wayland

Mark Shuttleworth announced on his blog that the next major step for Unity is to deliver it on the Wayland display server. While this will be a big transition for Ubuntu, Mark states that it doesn't need to cause a reset in the way we run software. Software that will not be ported to work with the new display server will still be able to run under an X server compatibility mode.

Emmet Hickory replaces Richard Johnson on Community Council

Due to a range of other commitments, Richard Johnson has stepped down from the Ubuntu Community Council.

The current members of the CC want to thank Richard Johnson for all the work he put into Ubuntu Governance. He will be missed. Everybody wishes him all the best on his next endeavors.

Emmet Hikory is replacing Richard Johnson, based on the outcome of the last Community Council vote.

Welcome aboard Emmet!

Ubuntu Cloud Community Needs You

"I'm interested in Ubuntu and the cloud, how do I get involved" is a question I got a few times already. I thought it would be a good idea to answer this as a blog post. I believe one of the very first things you'd want to do, is to make sure you're on the main communication channels, talking to the community, asking questions, seeing other questions being answered, trying to answer some yourself, sharing opinions and generally "connecting" with the rest of the community. That is a great first step. So I'll highlight the main communication venues for the Ubuntu cloud community, as well as a way to get kick-started.

Places to be:

  • Ubuntu Cloud Forums, while pretty young, there has been a pretty good stir in the forums. While IRC and mailing lists may be more focused on "asking questions", the Forums are a great way to get in touch with other community members. To share your experience building your private clouds, the hardware used, software configuration, tuning and optimization, challenges faced, ... Come and join in, if you would like to ask questions, or if you would like to share opinions, tips or tricks, get on the forums and make a splash Smile :)

  • The Ubuntu-Cloud mailing list is a great technical resource where most of the experts and developers are subscribed. For very technical discussions, questions, feature suggestions, RFEs and development discussions then the mailing list is a great resource.
  • The EC2Ubuntu mailing list is a great resource that focuses on running Ubuntu in the Amazon EC2 public cloud. This list is active with a wealth of information on the topic.

  • IRC chat has long always been a primary real-time communication tool used by free software enthusiasts. The Ubuntu cloud IRC room is (surprise, surprise) #ubuntu-cloud on Freenode. Jump in, and engage

Once connected, the things that you can do include playing with the latest technology, such as creating yourself a private UEC (Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud) instance, verifying that the latest features work as advertised, reporting and fixing bugs, suggesting features, designing and implementing new projects to advance the state of Ubuntu on the cloud. Whilst the community is very welcoming, I definitely understand that we need to create better new-comer friendly engagement paths—more hand-holding if you will. A better mentoring programme from senior members as well as low-hanging fruit are things that the Ubuntu cloud and server communities need to identify and improve in order to make it easier to attract and engage fresh talent.

http://foss-boss.blogspot.com/2010/10/ubuntu-cloud-community-needs-you.html

Yes, we did it: SpreadUbuntu.com is up now!

Ruben Romero updates us to let us know that the new Spreadubuntu.com website is up and ready for use. Spreadubuntu is a community website where user contributed marketing materials are made available for remixing and general consumption.

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

Daniel Holbach: Much Imporved Harvest Online Again

Daniel reports that Harvest, the tool for locating easy opportunities to get involved in Ubuntu is now back online. The new version is written in Django, it now has a release cycle and also includes package set information. There was also a Harvest session at UDS for those who were interested in getting involved with the project.

Randall Ross: Wither Brainstorm

Randall comments on the lack of development currently happening around ideas in Ubuntu Brainstorm. Brainstorm is a website where users can submit ideas and vote them up or down. Randall urged developers attending UDS-N to give Brainstorm a visit and look at the top ideas.

Matt Zimmerman: Ubuntu and Qt

Matt has been thinking about Qt recently and how it may apply to Ubuntu's desire to allow making applications easier and more efficient. Matt notes that Qt has a good history on ARM as well as x86, that Qt is cross-platform among all major operating systems and that it already has a fairly mature touch input system.

Valorie Zimmerman: Listening to Our Better Angels

Valorie talks about assaults against women that have occurred recently within free software communities and that these happen more often than many of us realize. She talks about her experiences in the Ubuntu community and how she feels that the Code of Conduct makes the Ubuntu community a safer environment for everyone. Valorie calls on other projects to implement similar codes and comments about some of the newer conduct discussions currently taking place in the Ubuntu community.

Raphaël Hertzog: Managing distribution-specific patches with a common source package

Raphaël walks us through a new feature in the Debian 3.0 (quilt) source package format that allows a packager to apply a patch to a specific distribution. This feature can be incredibly handy to a package maintainer who would, for example, like a patch to be applied in the Ubuntu version but not in the Debian versuib, allowing the change to be made just once and reducing future packaging efforts.

Jorge Castro: How I use Banshee

Jorge walks us through how he usually uses Banshee on a day-to-day basis, demonsrated with an informative and instructional video. The video covers how to manage your play queues and also how Banshee remembers which songs you've skipped before, and at what point, in order to guess which songs you would like to hear next.

London Stock Exchange Sets a New World Record in Trade Speed Using Linux

The London Stock Exchange is claiming that it has set a new world record in trade speeds, this comes as a result of the implementation of a new Linux based core to their systems, moving away from a Microsoft .NET technology that had previously in use for a few years. This switchover occurred in tandem with a recent study by Fortune Magazine which claimed that corporate America is choosing open source solutions ahead of proprietary alternatives.
