To give a quiz, contact AlexandreVassalotti (theCore on IRC) - we will probably find you a spot. To donate a prize, please contact JendaVancura (jenda on IRC) - your generosity is appreciated.

By winning the quiz and not accepting the prize, you donate it for the next quiz in line. This is especially appreciated if you are a frequent winner. == Changes In Fiesty == ## This list is pulled by Corey Burger and dumped here in raw form for parsing. ## Choose a something you wish to write about a write a short piece about what ## has changed since the last version in Ubuntu. This might mean several upstream ## releases. To find this data, use the changelog in the package and look on the web. ## If you cannot find a usable changelog, simply drop that package. Try and group packages ## together logically, such as X, the kernel or GNOME. ## After all the package sections are written, organize them logically, based ## on desktop or server, GNOME, KDE, or Xfce4, etc. ## Sometimes bigger changes, such as a new development policy or a major new ## thing will be mentioned under a seperate heading == Launchpad News == ## This section is provided by the infrequent Launchpad updates Christian Reis ## sends out via email. Copy that email into here and refactor as needed == In The Press == ## 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.
