Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue ## for the week MONTH DAY - DAY, YEAR. In this issue we cover ... ## Translations are welcome by anyone. Once you've finished yours, please remove the "Start one!" text. ## Feel free to add any other languages. '''UWN Translations''' * Deutsch - Start one! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/IssueXX/De * Español - Start one! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/IssueXX/Es * Français - http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/lettre/ * Italiano - http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/NewsletterItaliana * Português - Start one! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/IssueXX/Pt == In This Issue == ## In this section, list major topics of interest using bullets. ## Format: * <Topic name> ## Ex: * Ubuntu overtakes Microsoft with 90% market share == General Community News == ## Make each article a subsection, via === ## These are big articles that don't fit within another section == LoCo News == ## Make each article a subsection, via === Section name === ## Add notes about new locoteams, changed ones, meetings, etc. == New in Gutsy Gibbon == ## 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 == Ubuntu Forum News == ## This section is provided to include any interesting updates from the Ubuntu Forums. == 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. Ubuntu ## release reviews are also common items in this section. == In The Blogosphere == ## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth. ## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here. ## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so. == In Other News == ## Any news or links that don't fit neatly into other sections. |
