Hitting the one-million mark helps show the success that Launchpad has reached and how it has matured over the period of time. J.C. Sackett notes that they are "handling 1 million bugs better now than we were handling 500,000 then." PPAs and set/reduced downtime are some features that have contributed to its success. http://blog.launchpad.net/general/one-in-a-million == Ubuntu Forums News == === New Theme is Here!!! === Mike Basinger announces that the Ubuntu Forums are now sporting a new theme that matches the updated branding. In addition to the new theme, a planned upgrade in the near future will bring "a mobile theme that will be a great benefit to our users, plus other new features." http://www.mikesplanet.net/2012/05/new-theme-is-here/ == The Planet == === Jono Bacon: Precision and Reliability in Ubuntu Accomplishments === Jono Bacon talks about the large number of users who have begun testing Ubuntu Accomplishments, and how testing could be made to complement the new contributions by continuing to push quality and precision. He discusses a new tool called Battery that “runs all the accomplishments and feeds them this data that will cause an accomplishment to succeed as well as fail.” Planning for version 0.2 of Ubuntu Accomplishments is now under way. http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/05/14/precision-and-reliability-in-ubuntu-accomplishments/ Bacon shares more improvements in a later post as well: http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/05/16/testing-and-instrumentation/ === Jonathan Carter: The "Software Packages" Meta-Track at UDS === Jonathan Carter blogs about software and packaging related sessions at the Ubuntu Developer Summit. Some of the big topics were reorganization of Ubuntu software archives, Application Review Board, the future of MOTU. http://jonathancarter.org/2012/05/15/the-software-packages-meta-track-at-uds/ === Martin Pitt: Debian/Ubuntu Packages for PostgreSQL 9.2 Beta 1 === Martin Pitt calls for testers of the first Beta of PostgreSQL 9.2.

Carter goes on to note that, for every bug filed, 67 iPads have been sold, marking a clear target for the Edubuntu project to focus on in order to compete in the education markets. http://jonathancarter.org/2012/05/16/launchpad-net-bug-1-000-000/ === Kees Cook: USB AVR fun === At the Ubuntu Developer Summit Kees Cook was able to convince some folks to load up a USB stick for a bit of fun with volunteers who don’t mind an Xorg crash, "so we could watch Xorg crash and wedge their console" to test the behavior of an AVR microprocessor connected to USB. He shares code details of how he did it, and progress of the Xorg bug which has subsequently been reported. http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2012/05/16/usb-avr-fun/ === Mythbuntu: Default download link for 12.04 ISO is now 64-bit! === Following the release of MythTV 0.25, Mythbuntu announces that the default download for the 12.04 release is 64-bit. Reasons for the change include the fact that half of the users are currently using the 64-bit version, and two-thirds of the users have 64-bit capable machines. http://www.mythbuntu.org/node/365 === Dylan McCall: Adventure and excitement at UDS-Q! === Dylan Mc``Call shares a recap of UDS-Q. Mc``Call first shares some details about the Ubuntu ecosystem, which ended up being a session “about how Ubuntu is doing as a platform for developers outside the project itself”. He also mentions later sessions, which covered outreach to application developers. Additionally, he discussed sessions covering localized ISOs, installer slide shows, and the new sound theme. He wraps up by sharing some photos and some details from his favorite plenaries. http://www.dylanmccall.com/blog/2012/05/16/home-from-uds-q/ === IRC Council: Ubuntu IRC Council Position === A call for nominations for a spot on the IRC Council has been issued. "If you are an Ubuntu Member with a competent technical knowledge of IRC, a passion for IRC and a willingness to help maintain effective governance of our IRC community then you could be the leader we are looking for." http://ubottu.com/ircc/2012/05/17/ubuntu-irc-council-position/ === Martin Pitt: To boldly go where no test has gone before === Following the success of the QA related changes in 12.04, Martin Pitt hopes to extend automated testing even further, namely to the upsteam. He shares some ideas to begin with: fake hardware tests, work with Gnome developers to simplify and streamline testing, fake network devices, etc. http://www.piware.de/2012/05/to-boldly-go-where-no-test-has-gone-before/ == In The Press == === 125,000 Ubuntu PCs to land in Pakistani students' laps === The government in the Pakistani province of Punjab has started handing out free Ubuntu-based laptops to college and university students. 125,000 laptops have been issued to be handed out so far, in an attempt by the government to support the local IT ecosystem. They plan to hand out twice as many laptops in 2013. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/05/15/punjab_ubuntu_free_laptops_students/ === Ubuntu 12.04 LTS review === PCPro writer "arien Graham-Smith describes the latest Ubuntu release as "an operating system that's ready for the big time.” But he also thinks Ubuntu will remain hamstrung by lack of official support for software like Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop. http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/software/374647/ubuntu-12-04-lts === Linux Desktops: Cinnamon vs. Unity === Matt Hartley, Datamation, takes a look at both the Cinnamon and Unity desktop experiences and shares his thoughts on each. He concludes that “both desktop environments provide a strong, reliable experience” and makes suggestions based on beginner, intermediate and advanced users and says “if you haven't tried Unity in Ubuntu 12.04, don't let past experiences color your judgment of the desktop.” http://www.datamation.com/open-source/linux-desktops-cinnamon-vs.-unity-1.html == In The Blogosphere == === Ubuntu Developer Summit 12.10 Recap === Michael Larabel of Phoronix gives an effusive yet skeptical look towards the future of Ubuntu. For one, he certainly wasn’t entertained by EA’s keynote because it introduced what he describes as “crappy” games into the Ubuntu Software Center. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_uds_1210&num=1 === Canonical’s Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix Evolves === Christopher Tozzi at The Var Guy takes a look at the latest revisions to the Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix, stating that there have been “no sweeping changes” since it was introduced in February of 2012, but that it has been updated for the 12.04 LTS and “as such will likely enjoy greater appeal to enterprise users who want to stick to Ubuntu releases with long support life cycles.” Tozzi goes on to speculate upon the position of the Business Desktop Remix in Canonical’s overall business strategy. http://www.thevarguy.com/2012/05/14/canonicals-ubuntu-business-desktop-remix-evolves/ === An example of the usefulness of bittorrent for entirely legal purposes === Wil Wheaton reflects upon “the belief in Hollywood that bittorrent exists solely for stealing things” and gives an example of bittorrent being used for entirely legal purposes: downloading Ubuntu. http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2012/05/an-example-of-the-usefulness-of-bittorrent-for-entirely-legal-purposes.html === Ubuntu Unity Used By Super Heroes on TV Show === Joey Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! shares a clip from children’s show “Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters” where characters can “clearly be seen to be running a customised version of Ubuntu Unity desktop on their laptop” as are Evolution and the Ambiance theme. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/05/ubuntu-unity-on-go-busters-tv/ === The Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Ubuntu === Jonquil Mc``Daniel shares her list of 10 advantages and disadvantages of using Ubuntu. Pros include amount of support available, ease of use, speed compared to Windows and package management and among the cons are quality of support, problems with upgrades, and speed compared to other Linux distributions. http://www.xjonquilx.co.cc/2012/05/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-using.html == Other Articles of Interest == * A Tale of Two Suites: Do We Still Need Open``Office.org? - http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/75138.html * Will Linux Ever Experience The Year Of The Desktop?
