  • [http://launchpad.net/~shermann Stephan Hermann] put a lot of work into his MOTU comeback. After lots of Security work and other Universe uploads he is back in the team.

  • Driver-Free Car Runs Ubuntu Linux - At CES, Michael Larabel has spotted a very interesting car: the driver-less Carnegie Mellon vehicle. And it runs Ubuntu!! Sponsors include Google, NetApp, and Intel, and this car won this year's DARPA challenge. "This automated vehicle uses a dozen Intel Core 2 processors, but at the bottom of the software stack is Ubuntu 6.06 "Dapper Drake" Linux. Ubuntu 6.06 was chosen for being an LTS (Long Term Support) release. Perhaps next year's vehicle will be running Ubuntu 8.04?" http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjI3NA
