Jono Bacon questions the purpose and effectiveness of Ubuntu's comprehensive governance structure of boards and councils, saying that it saddens him to see that much of the discussion at meetings focusses on paperwork and administration.

LoCo News

We are not a LoCo: Ubuntu Vancouver Loco's Last Day

Randall Ross writes that an announcement "has been in the works for months" and looks back over the five and a half years of the LoCo's existence. He summarizes why the term "LoCo" should not be used, says: "It's time for a change" and, using a new logo, announces "Ubuntu Vancouver."

Ubuntu Cloud News

Bare-metal magic at the Open Compute Summit

Canonical report on Mark Shuttleworth's keynote at the recent Open Compute Summit in Paris where he gave an overview of the evolution of bare-metal systems, especially in the context of scale-out workloads.

Ubuntu GNOME: Defend GNOME Campaign

Ali Linx appeals to the Ubuntu GNOME community to help the GNOME Foundation defend the GNOME trademark against Groupon who announced a product called Gnome. Ali says: "Everyone is invited to help and spread the word." but he later updates his post to reflect that Groupon has agreed to change its product name.

http://ubuntugnome.org/defend-gnome-campaign/

http://davidplanella.org/ubuntu-scope-showdown-progress-showcase/

Nekhelesh Ramananthan: Ubuntu Component Store - Let's Collaborate!

Nekhelesh Ramananthan writes about the Ubuntu Component Store, an idea that was proposed some time ago by Stuart Langridge, to share components amongst app developers but was not taken up due to the lack of volunteers. He says that he has a working prototype, and links to a session at the recent Online Summit.

http://nik90.com/ubuntu-component-store-lets-collaborate/

Stuart Langridge follows up the story with his own post: Ubuntu Component Store, redux - http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2014/11/16/ubuntu-component-store-redux/

Scarlett Clark: Kubuntu: KDE Plasma 5.1.1 Utopic backport ready and other news.

Ubuntu App Developer Blog: Adding departments to your scope

David Callé describes departments as a way for the user to navigate the data source exposed by a scope, and says that they can also display a full hierarchy of sub-departments. He then presents a tutorial of how to create and add them to a scope.

http://developer.ubuntu.com/2014/11/8270/

Jono Bacon: Ubuntu Governance: Reboot?

Jono Bacon questions the purpose and effectiveness of Ubuntu's comprehensive governance structure of boards and councils, saying that it saddens him to see that much of the discussion at meetings focusses on paperwork and administration. He says that the boards need to be proactive not reactive and that we need to build an inspirational network of leaders.

http://www.jonobacon.org/2014/11/14/ubuntu-governance-reboot/

Both Benjamin Kerensa and Charles Profitt continue the discussion in their own posts:-
