Notizie dalla Comunità

Cancellata Feisty Herd 6

Tollef Fog Heen, Ubuntu Release Manager, ha annunciato che non ci sarà una Herd 6 dal momento che il kernel sarà congelato a breve e che la RC di Feisty sarà disponibile il 12 Aprile. Maggiori info alla pagina https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000272.html.

Discussione sulla Modalità di Licenza della Documentazione Wiki

Matthew East del Documentation Team ha annunciato che dopo un lungo dibattito con il Community Council, la licenza dell'Ubuntu Help Wiki sarà la Creative Commons By Attribution Share Alike 2.5. Non è incluso il wiki http://wiki.ubuntu.com, ma solo la parte help http://help.ubuntu.com/community. Per qualsiasi questione riguardante la nuova licenza contattare il community council community-council@lists.ubuntu.com. Maggiori info alla pagina https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2007-April/008367.html or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WikiLicensing.

Problemi di Archiviazione delle Liste Ubuntu

A causa dell'elevato traffico sulle mailing list ubuntu-bugs e desktop-bugs, il software di archiviazione ha problemi nel fare backup delle altre mailing list. Per ora, ubuntu-bugs e desktop-bugs non saranno archiviate, in questo modo delle altre mailing list su lists.ubuntu.com verrà fatto il backup. Canonical vorrebbe sapere se i sottoscrittori delle liste ubuntu-bugs e desktop-bugs sono interessati ai rispettivi archivi e per quale motivo dal momento che tutti i bug sono già disponibili su Launchpad. Maggiori info alla pagina https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2007-April/023542.html

Novità in Feisty Fawn

Feisty Congelata per la Preparazione della Release Candidate

Colin Watson, release manager, ha annunciato il congelamento del codice base di Feisty in preparazione della RC del 12 Aprile e della final release del 19 Aprile. Mentre il repository universe è ancora aperto, solo i bug critici verranno accettati nel repository principali. Questioni importanti per Feisty possono essere segnalati alla pagina https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-7.04. Maggiori info alla pagina https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000274.html.

Tolto il Supporto a Ext4 in Feisty

Il file system ext4 non sarà incluso in Feisty. Anche se non ci sono probabilità di danneggiare file non appare ancora stabile. L'annuncio alla pagina: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2007-March/000672.html

Discussione sulle Note di Rilascio di NetworkManager

C'è stata una discussione circa i problemi riscontrati dagli utenti di Edgy e di reti configurate manualmente al passaggio a Feisty. Il network manager è installato di default in Feisty e dovrebbe ignorare le configurazioni manuali, le interfacce dovrebbero essere settate "automatic". Nelle note di rilascio questo fatto verrà documentato. Maggiori info alla pagina https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2007-April/023537.html.

Notizie sullo Sviluppo

C'è Bisogno di Aiuto per OpenOffice.org

C'è bisogno di un membro 'upstream' dell'OpenOffice upstream bug team che si unisca al nuovo progetto OpenOffice project su Launchpad. Il membro dovrebbe avere un login per il segnalatore di bug di OpenOffice.org, in modo che i bug in Ubuntu segnalati come 'upstream OOo' possano essere riportati. Maggiori info alla pagina https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2007-April/023534.html.

Pacchetti Sperimentali per la Toolchain di Feisty+1

I pacchetti toolchain sono stati aggiornati per Feisty+1 e dovrebbe essere possibile installarli su una Feisty con chroot. Gli aggiornamenti riguardano gcc, glibc, and gcj. C'è un calo di prestazioni passando alle nuove librerie di gcc che è noto e accettato dagli sviluppatori di gcc. Attenzione: i pacchetti sono 'molto' sperimentali e l'installazione farà diventare instabili molti sistemi. Maggiori info alla pagina https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2007-April/023529.html

Ubuntu Case Studies

A great way to promote anything is by showing people it actually works in the real world. Ubuntu has grown a lot in a very short time, and it is being given many different uses we probably can't even imagine. This is why we are trying to collect success stories around the world, and present them as "Use Cases". Any way you use Ubuntu in your school or workplace might be interesting and useful to someone else. The main Ubuntu website has a special place for these at: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/casestudies. We would like to encourage you to participate sending your story to mystory@ubuntu.com, using http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mystory as a starting point.

Easier Migration from Windows to Ubuntu

The Windows Migration Wizard is a new migration tool which imports all your Internet Explorer favorites, Firefox bookmarks, desktop wallpaper, AOL IM contacts and Yahoo IM contacts. This offers easier and faster migration for new users of Ubuntu and individuals wanting to run a dual partition. In addition to single accounts, you can migrate several users' settings in Ubuntu. This has been added in Ubiquity, Ubuntu's installer, and it shows the commitment to making Linux as easy to use as possible. You can read the specification at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MigrationAssistance

Ubuntu Marketing Team - Spread the Word

The Marketing Team is responsible for promoting Ubuntu and every single way possible. Ubuntu Bug #1 is their inspiration and its final bugfix is their final goal. Spreading all Free Software is within the interest of the Team, and Ubuntu among that is its main focus. All Ubuntu users are/can be a part of its marketing effort. The Marketing Team is behind projects like "The Fridge", "Ubuntu Weekly News", "Case Studies", "Ubuntu Counter", "Ubuntu Video" and many more. You can join them in IRC in #ubuntu-marketing, in our mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com, or read more about what they do at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/
