The Ubuntu Edge Team announces a campaign to raise 32 million dollars to support development of an Ubuntu-based phone. They write: “The Ubuntu Edge is our very own superphone, a catalyst to drive the next generation of personal computing.” The team tell us that Ubuntu Edge is an exclusive production run, available only through Indiegogo and all of the funding that is received goes directly towards producing the device for expected delivery in May 2014. They describe the hardware, the software, the rollout plan and the technical specifications. A number of mock-ups have been released along with a comprehensive FAQ and details of the evolving pledge levels.

## This section largely draws from the aggregated blog at http://cloud.ubuntu.com/ === Targetted machine deployment with Juju ===

James Page writes that as of the latest release of Juju (available in a PPA and in Ubuntu Saucy), Juju now has native support for specifying which machine a charm should be deployed to. James provides a number of code samples but points out that there are still a few gotchas; charms are running without separation and not all of the Openstack charms are compatible with the latest version of Juju.

=== JohnJohn -- A Scalable Juju Charm Tutorial ===

Dustin Kirkland provides a tutorial on installing, configuring, and making use of Juju to utilise with applications that support charms. A complete step-by-step guide to using Juju with the administration tool John is provided in the article.

=== Screw the Ubuntu Edge…We’re Giving Away $30,000!!! ===

Robbie Williamson reminds readers of the the Juju Charm Championship, in which the Juju experts at Canonical can share their expertise across service/application bundles and “harvest” participants to learn and master Juju. Winners can earn up to $30,000 in prize money. Williamson also announces the new integration features of jujucharms.com, writing that it is “the realization of our vision” to create “an interface that provides solution architects the ability to graphically create, deploy, and interact with services visually.”

=== Sebastian Kügler: the next kubuntu graphics stack ===

Sebastian Kügler discusses the advancements that are being made on the Kubuntu graphics stack, with particular emphasis on their goal of making Plasma Workspaces 2 compatible later on. He states that for the foreseeable future Kubuntu will make use of Xorg, with late 2014 bringing support for Plasma Workspaces 2.

=== Nicholas Skaggs: Ubuntu Edge: Convergence in the palm of your hand ===

Nicholas Skaggs writes about his journey to have convergence between his smartphone and desktop, and how the Ubuntu Edge is the realization of that goal. With his smartphone powerful enough to handle most computing tasks and with cloud servers capable of performing longer running tasks, there seems to be no need to have two separate devices. Ubuntu Edge allows him to use a bigger screen and keyboard while at home, yet take it with him and have access to everything he needs.

=== Victor Palau: Ubuntu Edge: convergence in action ===

Victor Palau writes that although the hardware is getting a lot of the attention, it’s the Ubuntu Edge’s ability to be a phone and a PC that will have the biggest impact. He shows us a quick video to show a few examples of how it has made his working life so much simpler for the two months or more that he has been running Ubuntu for Android on a Nexus 4 phone.

=== Canonical Design Team: Ubuntu Edge: Design process ===

Chee Wong details the process of designing the Ubuntu Edge. After getting started by expanding on elements in the Suru theme and transitioning to a physical user experience from a digital one, rough ideas were sketched out and improved. Afterward, techniques like model making, 3D CAD, and 3D printing were used to help refine the product to make it what we now have with the Ubuntu Edge.

=== Nicholas Skaggs: An autopilot emulator for ubuntu sdk apps: Part II ===

Nicholas Skaggs gives props to Leo Arias for making the autopilot emulator an official part of the Ubuntu SDK. He provides a few examples on integrating the emulator with other testcases.

=== Alan Pope: Living on the Edge ===

Alan Pope writes about his first visit to OSCON where he helped out on the Canonical/Ubuntu stand. Alans talks about his reactions to Ubuntu Edge, acknowledges the help of others in setting up demos, and remarks "We had a few people go away and come back the next day telling us they’d backed the campaign after seeing it."

=== Ubuntu vs. Kubuntu ===

Matt Hartley of Datamation shares his experiences of installing Kubuntu. He makes several direct comparisons with Ubuntu noting differences in the applications such as those used for email and web browsing.
