=== Big Bug Bonanza Ubuntu 16.04 LTS === Will Cooke describes how most users stick to LTS versions, and that over the years bug lists have grown to become unmanageable. To ensure developer’s time is spent on the important current bugs, Will outlines a proposal to cut down the bug-list to size. Critical bugs will be reviewed, but most for unsupported releases of Ubuntu will be closed by robot. Will Cooke further highlights where you can most help, in “triaging” or trying to reproduce bugs in 15.10. How to help is explained, and programming skills are not required. http://www.whizzy.org/2015/09/big-bug-bonanza-16-04-lts/ === Community Council Call for Nominations === Michael Hall writes that all seven elected Community Council terms will expire in November, and that all Ubuntu members are eligible to vote. Details of the election will come soon, but first nominations are being sought, so if you know someone this is the place to go. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/community-announce/2015-September/000028.html The following community members commented on the announcement: * Charles Profitt - https://ftbeowulf.wordpress.com/2015/09/16/community-council-call-for-nominations/ * Stephen Michael Kellatt - http://erielookingproductions.info/blog/on-staffing-re-staffing-and-jobs.html |

=== Converting to Ubuntu Touch === Aaron Honeycutt shares his experiences running Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 4 for one week. He tells us which of the apps he needs have no replacement in Ubuntu at the moment and asks us for any information that updates what he found. http://usefoss.com/index.php/2015/09/16/converting-to-ubuntu-touch/ === Landing team 17.09.15 === Łukasz Zemczak reports the work done by the Ubuntu Touch developers on the upcoming major software update of Ubuntu Touch, OTA-7. Work includes a new Unity8, updated version of unity-scopes-click and pay-service and a fix for a regression introduced by the libusermetrics library. Also, Łukasz informs us that investigation of the various phone slowness issues continues: "It looks like the overall problem is a combination of many many smaller problems. Not sure if all of those can be resolved by OTA-7 - fingers crossed". https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg15649.html |

=== The future of access networks === Maarten Ectors writes about how Google & co seem to have their eye set to take over the telecom business. Telecoms businesses though have users who want more data, but to pay less, with few (or no) phone calls or SMS. IoT promises to be a data tsunami but only trickle desired revenue. Maarten equates the traditional telecoms business to like an old Nokia handset; strong & dependable, but the industry has changed. Maarten explores the many facets of the telecoms industry including CPEs (cheap on-premise equipment), parental control, apps, wifi, DSLAMs (broadband), to phones and tablets, finally linking it with Ubuntu Core. http://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/09/16/the-future-of-access-networks/ === Ubuntu nominated in V3 Technology Awards shortlist; cast your vote! === Canonical have been nominated for three V3 Technology Awards this year. This is the sixth annual for these awards and allows V3 readers to vote on the best business products and vendors for the year. Of the 24 categories, the three nominations are * best cloud computing provider - Canonical * best business software provider - Canonical * best Internet of Things product - ‘snappy’ Ubuntu Core Voting ends 9th October 2015, and a link is provided for a brief survey and so you can cast your vote. You needn’t vote in every award, only those where you expertise/experience applies. http://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/09/17/ubuntu-nominated-in-v3-technology-awards-shortlist-cast-your-vote/ === dConstruct 2015 === Jamie Young writes about dConstruct held in Brighton (UK) last Friday of which Ubuntu was a premier sponsor. Lots of photos are provided, including details of a popular origami competition (winner got a BQ Aquaris E5 Ubuntu phone!). Various presenters are mentioned, and much positive feedback given. http://design.canonical.com/2015/09/dconstruct-2015/ |

=== It's the year of the Linux desktop, for Dell, in China === Mark Hachman of PCWorld writes that Dell’s head of China has said that Neo``Kylin Linux is shipped on 42% of the PCs Dell sells in China. Dell sells primarily to companies & government in China. HP also ships Neo``Kylin equipped PCs to China but numbers sold with the OS are unknown. Neo``Kylin was created by China Standard Software and the National University of Defense Technology and released in 2010, and is based upon Ubuntu’s Kylin according to Techin``Asia. Mark also notes Western companies do business in China by partnering or investing with a Chinese firm. Mark finally interprets the 42% figure both in China & globally. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2984194/operating-systems/its-the-year-of-the-linux-desktop-for-dell-in-china.html |

=== Fairphone ‘Exploring’ Switch to Ubuntu Touch === Joey-Elijah Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! writes that Fairphone 1 was affected by the Stagefright Android vulnerability uncovered earlier this year. Fixing the vulnerability was not easy to achieve because of licensing and vendor restrictions. To remedy that, Fairphone is "exploring the possibility of replacing the Android software by alternative operating systems (Ubuntu/Firefox/Jolla) in an effort to prolong the life of the device.” http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/09/fairphone-is-exploring-a-switch-to-ubuntu-touch === Ubuntu Linux-Based Open Source OS Runs 42 Percent of Dell PCs in China === Christopher Tozzi, The VAR Guy, writes that Dell have reported that 42% of the PCs that it sells in China run a variant of Ubuntu that Canonical has helped to develop, i.e. Ubuntu Kylin. He says that Ubuntu Kylin uses the Unity interface but the default theme used make it look more like Windows. Christopher adds that Dell’s comment on their Chinese sales follows an announcement of a US $125 million investment in China. http://thevarguy.com/open-source-application-software-companies/091515/ubuntu-linux-based-open-source-os-runs-42-percent-dell-pc Softpedia, PCWorld and Phoronix also had articles about this new statistic: * Dell Reportedly Shipping Ubuntu-Based Linux On 40%+ Of PCs In China - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Dell-China-40-Linux * It's the year of the Linux desktop, for Dell, in China - http://www.pcworld.com/article/2984194/operating-systems/its-the-year-of-the-linux-desktop-for-dell-in-china.html * Dell Reporting That 40% of PCs Sold in China Are Ubuntu-Powered - http://news.softpedia.com/news/dell-reporting-that-40-of-pc-sold-in-china-are-ubuntu-powered-491666.shtml === Ubuntu Phone Will Skip 15.10 === Marius Nestor of Softpedia shares the news that the Ubuntu Touch developers have no plans to switch from the stable Ubuntu 15.04 base and quotes Łukasz Zemczak as saying the 15.10 will be skipped. He also quotes another developer as saying: “There is a growing concern, however, that the lack of attention to Wily will hit us hard (w/ compounded interest) when we want to switch off of Vivid." Marius sees Canonical as considering the upcoming LTS as a good candidate for the next stable version of Ubuntu Touch and that they will soon start looking for an upgrade path. http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-phone-development-will-skip-the-ubuntu-15-10-wily-werewolf-release-491825.shtml === Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) to Be the Last "Boring" Release === Silviu Stahie of Softpedia writes that Ubuntu 15.10 which is scheduled to launch on October 22nd will be the last release that users will be able to say is no different from its predecessor. He says that while the next release will ship with Unity 7 Canonical is doing its best to offer Unity 8 as an alternative. He ends his post by saying: “that should make the new LTS a very exciting version.” http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-15-10-wily-werewolf-will-be-the-last-boring-release-491965.shtml === New Ubuntu Store Makes It Easier to Buy Ubuntu Laptops, PCs and Phones === Joey-Elijah Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! reports that Canonical has opened a new “brand store” in conjunction with Snapdeal, India’s biggest online retailer. He says: “In launching an Ubuntu Store on Snapdeal Canonical not only makes it easier for Ubuntu enthusiasts in India to see, compare and buy Ubuntu laptops and PCs, but makes it easier for its hardware partners to their promote devices to potential customers.” http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/09/you-can-now-buy-ubuntu-laptops-pc-and-phones-from-snapdeal === Intel Graphics Installer for Linux Adds Support for Ubuntu 15.04 === Joey-Elijah Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! writes that the new release of the Intel Graphics Installer now supports Ubuntu 15.04 and that support for Ubuntu 14.10 has been dropped. He says that 15.04 users can use the tool and download the latest Intel Graphics Stack. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/09/intel-graphics-installer-for-linux-adds-support-for-ubuntu-15-04 === Meet The New Ubuntu 15.10 Default Wallpaper === Joey-Elijah Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! shares a screenshot with us of the new default wallpaper for Ubuntu 15.10. He says that although the new wallpaper hasn’t been packaged and uploaded to the archive yet, those using 15.10 can download the wallpaper from the link that he provides. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/09/ubuntu-15-10-wily-werewolf-default-wallpaper Softpedia also reported on the new wallpaper: http://linux.softpedia.com/blog/ubuntu-15-10-wily-werewolf-official-wallpaper-revealed-492084.shtml === Cuba's Ubuntu Linux-Based Open Source Linux OS to Get Facelift === Christopher Tozzi, The VAR Guy, reports on Nova Lightweight 2015, the Cuban government’s new OS based on Ubuntu that uses the Guano desktop environment. He says that the goal of the project is to change Microsoft’s dominance of being the most popular OS in Cuba and quotes a source that says the release of Nova Lightweight 2015 is imminent. http://thevarguy.com/open-source-application-software-companies/091815/nova-cubas-ubuntu-linux-based-open-source-linux-os-get-fa === Ubuntu Touch OTA-7 Gets New Unity 8, More Convergence Features === Marius Nestor of Softpedia reports on the upcoming update to Ubuntu Touch, OTA-7 which will implement several new features and bug fixes. He says that the updated should be released by the end of the month [September] but the slowness reported in OTA-6 has not yet been fixed. http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-touch-ota-7-gets-new-unity-8-more-convergence-features-492013.shtml |

General Community News
Big Bug Bonanza Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Will Cooke describes how most users stick to LTS versions, and that over the years bug lists have grown to become unmanageable. To ensure developer’s time is spent on the important current bugs, Will outlines a proposal to cut down the bug-list to size. Critical bugs will be reviewed, but most for unsupported releases of Ubuntu will be closed by robot. Will Cooke further highlights where you can most help, in “triaging” or trying to reproduce bugs in 15.10. How to help is explained, and programming skills are not required.

Converting to Ubuntu Touch
Aaron Honeycutt shares his experiences running Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 4 for one week. He tells us which of the apps he needs have no replacement in Ubuntu at the moment and asks us for any information that updates what he found.

Landing team 17.09.15
Łukasz Zemczak reports the work done by the Ubuntu Touch developers on the upcoming major software update of Ubuntu Touch, OTA-7. Work includes a new Unity8, updated version of unity-scopes-click and pay-service and a fix for a regression introduced by the libusermetrics library. Also, Łukasz informs us that investigation of the various phone slowness issues continues: "It looks like the overall problem is a combination of many many smaller problems. Not sure if all of those can be resolved by OTA-7 - fingers crossed".

Canonical News
The future of access networks
Maarten Ectors writes about how Google & co seem to have their eye set to take over the telecom business. Telecoms businesses though have users who want more data, but to pay less, with few (or no) phone calls or SMS. IoT promises to be a data tsunami but only trickle desired revenue. Maarten equates the traditional telecoms business to like an old Nokia handset; strong & dependable, but the industry has changed. Maarten explores the many facets of the telecoms industry including CPEs (cheap on-premise equipment), parental control, apps, wifi, DSLAMs (broadband), to phones and tablets, finally linking it with Ubuntu Core.

In The Press
It's the year of the Linux desktop, for Dell, in China
Mark Hachman of PCWorld writes that Dell’s head of China has said that NeoKylin Linux is shipped on 42% of the PCs Dell sells in China. Dell sells primarily to companies & government in China. HP also ships NeoKylin equipped PCs to China but numbers sold with the OS are unknown. NeoKylin was created by China Standard Software and the National University of Defense Technology and released in 2010, and is based upon Ubuntu’s Kylin according to TechinAsia. Mark also notes Western companies do business in China by partnering or investing with a Chinese firm. Mark finally interprets the 42% figure both in China & globally.
In The Blogosphere
Fairphone ‘Exploring’ Switch to Ubuntu Touch
Joey-Elijah Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! writes that Fairphone 1 was affected by the Stagefright Android vulnerability uncovered earlier this year. Fixing the vulnerability was not easy to achieve because of licensing and vendor restrictions. To remedy that, Fairphone is "exploring the possibility of replacing the Android software by alternative operating systems (Ubuntu/Firefox/Jolla) in an effort to prolong the life of the device.”
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/09/fairphone-is-exploring-a-switch-to-ubuntu-touch
Ubuntu Linux-Based Open Source OS Runs 42 Percent of Dell PCs in China
Christopher Tozzi, The VAR Guy, writes that Dell have reported that 42% of the PCs that it sells in China run a variant of Ubuntu that Canonical has helped to develop, i.e. Ubuntu Kylin. He says that Ubuntu Kylin uses the Unity interface but the default theme used make it look more like Windows. Christopher adds that Dell’s comment on their Chinese sales follows an announcement of a US $125 million investment in China.
Softpedia, PCWorld and Phoronix also had articles about this new statistic:

Ubuntu Phone Will Skip 15.10
Marius Nestor of Softpedia shares the news that the Ubuntu Touch developers have no plans to switch from the stable Ubuntu 15.04 base and quotes Łukasz Zemczak as saying the 15.10 will be skipped. He also quotes another developer as saying: “There is a growing concern, however, that the lack of attention to Wily will hit us hard (w/ compounded interest) when we want to switch off of Vivid." Marius sees Canonical as considering the upcoming LTS as a good candidate for the next stable version of Ubuntu Touch and that they will soon start looking for an upgrade path.
Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) to Be the Last "Boring" Release
Silviu Stahie of Softpedia writes that Ubuntu 15.10 which is scheduled to launch on October 22nd will be the last release that users will be able to say is no different from its predecessor. He says that while the next release will ship with Unity 7 Canonical is doing its best to offer Unity 8 as an alternative. He ends his post by saying: “that should make the new LTS a very exciting version.”
New Ubuntu Store Makes It Easier to Buy Ubuntu Laptops, PCs and Phones
Joey-Elijah Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! reports that Canonical has opened a new “brand store” in conjunction with Snapdeal, India’s biggest online retailer. He says: “In launching an Ubuntu Store on Snapdeal Canonical not only makes it easier for Ubuntu enthusiasts in India to see, compare and buy Ubuntu laptops and PCs, but makes it easier for its hardware partners to their promote devices to potential customers.”

Intel Graphics Installer for Linux Adds Support for Ubuntu 15.04
Joey-Elijah Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! writes that the new release of the Intel Graphics Installer now supports Ubuntu 15.04 and that support for Ubuntu 14.10 has been dropped. He says that 15.04 users can use the tool and download the latest Intel Graphics Stack.

Meet The New Ubuntu 15.10 Default Wallpaper
Joey-Elijah Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! shares a screenshot with us of the new default wallpaper for Ubuntu 15.10. He says that although the new wallpaper hasn’t been packaged and uploaded to the archive yet, those using 15.10 can download the wallpaper from the link that he provides.

Cuba's Ubuntu Linux-Based Open Source Linux OS to Get Facelift
Christopher Tozzi, The VAR Guy, reports on Nova Lightweight 2015, the Cuban government’s new OS based on Ubuntu that uses the Guano desktop environment. He says that the goal of the project is to change Microsoft’s dominance of being the most popular OS in Cuba and quotes a source that says the release of Nova Lightweight 2015 is imminent.
Ubuntu Touch OTA-7 Gets New Unity 8, More Convergence Features
Marius Nestor of Softpedia reports on the upcoming update to Ubuntu Touch, OTA-7 which will implement several new features and bug fixes. He says that the updated should be released by the end of the month [September] but the slowness reported in OTA-6 has not yet been fixed.
