| === UWN Catchup, Help the Graner Family === We've been a bit silent over the last two weeks. This has been in part to a very busy Ubuntu Developer Summit, but also because our great editor, Amber Graner had the misfortune of her house being burnt down leaving nothing left during the UDS. Fortunately, her family (including the dog) is safe and unharmed. While Amber and her family regroups, we'll be playing some catch-up. As always, we need more contributors so if you'd like to get involved, please refer to the getting involved section at the end of this newsletter! The Ubuntu News Team will be playing some catch-up over the next week, and we plan to release as follows: * Issue 215 will cover October 17 to October 31, release on 8 November * Issue 216 will cover October 31 to November 7 to be released later this week bringing us back on schedule 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/ |

| ## This section is for Ubuntu News from "The Planet" at http://planet.ubuntu.com/ | === 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. 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's also a Harvest session at UDS for those who are interested in getting involved with the project. http://daniel.holba.ch/blog/?p=806 === 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 urges developers attending UDS-N to give Brainstorm a visit and look at the top ideas. http://randall.executiv.es/ub === Scott Moser: UDS-N Call for Participation === The Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) is the event in which the Ubuntu community discusses and plans the upcoming Ubuntu release. UDS Natty begins Today just outside of Orlando, FL, USA. If you're in the Orlando area, this event is free, and open to anyone. Scott links to some important pages for anyone who is also interested in participating remotely. http://ubuntu-smoser.blogspot.com/2010/10/uds-n-call-for-participation.html === 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 it's cross-platform among all major operating systems and that it already has a fairly mature touch input system. http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2010/10/20/ubuntu-and-qt/ |

| ## 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. |
=== Ubuntu, open source apps use on the rise: Linux Users Group === Diana Nguyen from Techworld interviews Melisa Draper from Sydney's LUG.

General Community News
UWN Catchup, Help the Graner Family
We've been a bit silent over the last two weeks. This has been in part to a very busy Ubuntu Developer Summit, but also because our great editor, Amber Graner had the misfortune of her house being burnt down leaving nothing left during the UDS. Fortunately, her family (including the dog) is safe and unharmed.
While Amber and her family regroups, we'll be playing some catch-up. As always, we need more contributors so if you'd like to get involved, please refer to the getting involved section at the end of this newsletter!
The Ubuntu News Team will be playing some catch-up over the next week, and we plan to release as follows:
- Issue 215 will cover October 17 to October 31, release on 8 November
- Issue 216 will cover October 31 to November 7 to be released later this week bringing us back on schedule
A fundraiser has been established to help the Graner family, if you are interested, please read further on the Ubuntu-News site:

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. 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.

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 it's cross-platform among all major operating systems and that it already has a fairly mature touch input system.
