=== Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week: Call For Participation! ===

 

In the continued interests of helping to make Ubuntu rock as a platform

for scratching itches and making awesome apps, Jono Bacon is putting

together a new online learning event: Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer

Week, happening online between 1st – 6th March 2010.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpportunisticDeveloperWeek

 

The week will be just like the previous online learning events such as

Ubuntu Developer Week and Ubuntu Open Week, but instead providing a week

jam packed with awesome sessions about writing applications that scratch

your itch, and predominantly focusing on Python tools and frameworks,

Bazaar, Launchpad and infrastructure. The goal for the week is give

attendees a head start on a given technology useful for applications.

 

Jono is looking for volunteers. If you feel you could give a tutorial

about a given Python module or associated technology (e.g. Glade,

Launchpad, Bazaar etc), please drop him an email at jono AT ubuntu DOT

com and he will liaise with you to get it scheduled. Jono is also look

for some showcase sessions: stories about how you put together an

application, how it scratched your itch and what tools you used.

=== Interview With Jono by Joe Barker ===

 

Joe Barker recently interview Canonical's community manager Jono Bacon.

If you've been active in the Ubuntu community, you'll know who Jono is,

but if you don't, here's your chance to get to know him on a more

personal basis. The following are the questions Jono responded to. You

can find his answers at the link that follows. Be sure to take a few

minutes to read the entire interview.

 

* Tell as much as you’re willing about your “real life†like name, age,

gender, location, family, religion, profession, education, hobbies, etc.

* When and how did you become interested in computers? in Linux? in Ubuntu?

* When did you become involved in the forums (or the Ubuntu community)?

What’s your role there?

* Are you an Ubuntu member? If so, how do you contribute? If not, do you

plan on becoming one?

* What distros do you regularly use? What software? What’s your favorite

application? Your least favorite?

* What’s your fondest memory from the forums, or from Ubuntu overall?

What’s your worst?

* What luck have you had introducing new computer users to Ubuntu?

* What would you like to see happen with Linux in the future? with Ubuntu?

* If there was one thing you could tell all new Ubuntu users, what would

it be?

=== Interview with Dustin Kirkland, Ubuntu Core Developer about

encryption in Ubuntu ===

 

Dustin Kirkland is an Ubuntu Core Developer, working for Canonical on

the Ubuntu Server. His current focus is developing the Ubuntu Enterprise

Cloud for the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS release, but previously he had worked on

a number of Ubuntu features and packages, including Ubuntu's Encrypted

Home Directories. He is also the upstream maintainer of eCryptfs, the

cryptographic filesystem used to provide Encrypted Home Directories.

Those are fair enough reasons to ask him a couple of questions. If

you're wanting to learn more about encryption and the thought processes

behind it, this is a great read. See the entire interview at the link below.

=== Upcoming Ubuntu Global Jam and your Loco Team ===

 

The dates for the Global Jam for this cycle are the 26th through the

28th of March 2010. We are hoping to make this Global Jam extremely

successful, and we need your help in doing it. We want to have events in

as many places as possible, not only to help improve Ubuntu, but also to

help promote it. The Ubuntu Global Jam is an online and in person event

that takes place all across the world. People get together with the

interest of making Ubuntu better, while having a good time socializing

with other people in your area who have the same interest and passion

about Ubuntu as you do.

 

What can your LoCo do? The Ubuntu Global Jam has many different events

that for users to participate in, just pick one that you and your team

like, and make it happen. You can pick from one or more of the following

events:

 

* Bug Jam – During a bug jam users would work on finding, triaging and

fixing bugs.

* Testing Jam – Lucid is due out the end of April and we need help

testing it out prior to its release.

* Upgrade Jam – Upgrade systems that are currently running older

versions of Ubuntu and report your experience.

* Documentation Jam – Write documentation about using Ubuntu, or joining

the Ubuntu community, or work on making the existing documentation better.

* Translations Jam – Help to make Ubuntu available to everyone. Help

translate Ubuntu into your language.

* Packaging Jam – Help out with improving packages in Ubuntu.

* Other – If your team has some other aspect of helping out the Ubuntu

Community, feel free to participate in that for the Global Jam.

 

If you have never run a Global Jam event before, or if you have, but

would like some fresh ideas, we have three training sessions scheduled

between now and the kick off of the Global Jam. The training sessions

will be hosted by Jorge Castro and will be held in #ubuntu-locoteams on

freenode. The training sessions will take place on:

 

* 17 February 2010 at 18:00 UTC

* 26 February 2010 at 21:00 UTC

* 10 March 2010 at 21:00 UTC

 

All three training sessions will contain tips, tricks, pointers and

advice on how to run a Jam. You can also find out more information at

the Running An Event page on the Ubuntu Wiki. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jams

 

You can also find out what other LoCo teams have done in the past for

Global Jam by visiting this wiki page:

=== Ubuntu Honduras Loco Team at the T3 conference ===

 

What is T3? It is an event organized by the EIS School in the city of

San Pedro Sula. More than 37 teachers and principals will be on hand for

this event. It was a great opportunity to show them about the open

source world and about Ubuntu linux. The team was given 2 hours for our

presentation. The first hour covered what is open source, GNU/Linux and

Ubuntu. The second hour was a workshop so teachers can get familiar with

Ubuntu.

=== Jono Bacon: Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week Update ===

 

Earlier this week I announced the plan to put together Ubuntu

Opportunistic Developer Week: a week of IRC tuition sessions aimed at

helping opportunistic developers scratch their itches and write fun and

useful programs using our awesome platform. The week takes place from

1st – 6th March 2010.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpportunisticDeveloperWeek

 

The response so far to the call for sessions has been fantastic, and we

already have many sessions scheduled, all visible from the timetable

here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpportunisticDeveloperWeek

 

Each of these sessions is designed to give you a taste of the topic and

get you up and running, enough to be productive and start exploring the

features of the tool being discussed. In addition to this we will have a

series of showcase sessions:

 

* SHOWCASE: Gwibber – Ken VanDine

* SHOWCASE: Lernid – Jono Bacon

* SHOWCASE: Photobomb – Rick Spencer

 

These sessions explain the story behind the app: talking about which

tools, modules and technology that was used to put these apps together

and what challenges were solved. This is a great way to learn more about

tools available for opportunistic developers so that when you need to do

something, you know which tool to reach out for.

 

Many of you will be entirely new to Python and entirely new to coding.

To give you folks a head start before the week kicks off, Rick Spencer

from the desktop team will be running some beginners Python tuition

sessions on the Thursday before Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week:

 

* Thu 25th Feb 2010 – 15.00 UTC – Ubuntu Opp Dev Week Prep: Intro to

Python for total beginners – Rick Spencer

* Thu 25th Feb 2010 – 16.00 UTC – Ubuntu Opp Dev Week Prep: Intro to

Python for programmers – Rick Spencer

 

We are still looking for sessions, and if you want to contribute and

give one, just drop me an email at jono AT ubuntu DOT com.

=== David Planella: Call for feedback on preferred desktop fonts ===

 

While trying to offer a better experience for users in all languages and

trying to balance that with features, we are faced with the fact that

the space on the Live CD is limited. Fonts in particular take a lot of

space, and we’d like to reduce that to the minimum necessary in order to

have a reduced set to correctly display all languages. These will then

be collected in an ‘ubuntu-desktop-fonts‘ package.

 

This will only be for the Live CD. In an installation with network

connectivity all required font packages, writing aids, etc. will be

downloaded and installed as usual. This will also not yet solve the

issue whereby only a few languages are included on the CD, but will free

some more space on it and avoid duplication.

 

Arne Götje has started a wiki page to collect feedback on this, and I’d

like to ask you to add the information for your particular

language/script combination and complete the tables at:

 

* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/PreferredFonts

 

Here’s how you can do it:

 

* Look for your language/script on the list. If it does not fall in any

of the existing categories, you can just add it

* If the current font for basic display of messages is correct, simply

add an “OK†note to the Remarks column.

* If not, please suggest a better font (a maximum of two, in order of

preference) and add a note on the Remarks column as well

* That’s it! If you’ve got any questions, feel free to ask them to the

translations team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/Contact/

=== SCALE 8x Update: Ubucon, FAD and Keysigning, oh my! ===

 

Ubuntu announces that it will hold the first UbuCon hosted at the

Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE 8x) on Friday, Feb. 19, in an

all-day session of talks and activities. Part unconference and part

scheduled sessions, UbuCon will cover what is going on with, and how to

improve, the Ubuntu community. The final hour of the event will include

lightning talks. If you use Ubuntu, are interested in Ubuntu or want to

know more about Ubuntu, check in with Ubucon. For more information,

visit http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/special-events/ubucon The

Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 8x will be held from Feb. 19-21 at

the Westin Los Angeles Airport hotel. For more information, visit

=== Dell dropping its Ubuntu offerings? ===

 

Christina Tynan-Wood of Info World comments that purchasing a

preinstalled Linux system may have gotten a little harder, as one Gripe

Line reader and loyal Dell customer recently found out. "I've always

supported Dell and enjoyed the availability of the company's Linux

systems," writes Cal. "But I was recently appalled when a Dell sales rep

hung up on me when I tried to order some Linux systems for my business.

The Dell rep made it clear that unless I wanted Windows, Dell didn't

want my money." Could this be so? Christina headed to Dell.com to find

out, and she browsed to the Business section and ticked the FreeDOS and

Linux button to filter out all but open source systems. The site

returned only a handful of laptops and no desktops, so she called the

sales line to see whether they could set her up. Christina contacted

Dell representative Anne Camden who told her, "I suspect that what is

going on here is that we recently refreshed most of our consumer desktop

portfolio, and unfortunately the Linux model is lagging and is not

currently available," she says. "We will offer Ubuntu pre-installed

again in the future, but it will not be for several weeks."

=== Ubuntu 9.10 and GNOME 2.28: Advancing Past Meh ===

 

LinuxPlanet's Carla Schroder says that many eons ago, GNOME 1.4 still

lived, and it was good. Fast-forward eight years to Ubuntu 9.10, and in

Schroder's opinion this is the first *buntu and the first GNOME that

have gotten past "meh" on her WowMeter. After a week of running Ubuntu

9.10 Schroder says she is dangerously close to being impressed. Carla

thinks the most important test of a distribution is how it performs over

time. Does it improve? Do bugs get fixed? Does it handle changes

competently? Will it upgrade gracefully to a new release? This is on her

audio production computer, so Schroder says it's going to get a serious

workout. Carla says that there is one comparison that she cannot resist

making: the default installation from the LiveCD uses about 2.8GB of

hard disk space, and in that 2.8GB you get a wealth of applications.

Windows 7 clocks in at over 12GB, and what do you get? Um, Notepad?

=== Univ. of Arizona student builds Ubuntu-Atom powered spider-bot ===

 

Matt Bunting, a electrical engineering student at the University of

Arizona, has been attracting some attention with his latest creation: a

six-legged robot that he built for a class on cognitive robotics. The

spider-bot, or hexapod as it is more properly known, is powered by a

fairly low-cost, off-the-shelf 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, running on a

US15W chipset. The software runs off of a Ubuntu Linux OS. The most

significant feature that Matt's yet-unnamed robot creation has is an

adaptive capacity to walk. Matt's prof was impressed with his work: "I

see that this device might be doing scientific work like autonomous

navigation, mapping of different environments, moving over rough terrain

and doing exploration, possibly planetary exploration...I think Matt's

robot has a lot of possibilities. It's really not so far-fetched that a

robot like this could go to Mars." Even folks at Intel heard of Matt's

robot. And after a seeing video of it in action, they decided to order

two from him to use as promotional robots for the Atom processor. See

the video of Matt's creation at the link below.

=== AbiWord & Gnumeric To Replace OpenOffice in Ubuntu Netbook Edition ===

 

On February 8, 2010, OMG!Ubuntu shares with readers the decision to drop

OpenOffice.org suite of applications from the default install of Ubuntu

10.04 Netbook Edition. According to the article and statement from

Ubuntu developer, Rick Spencer, "I think we should try GNUMeric and

abiword by default, and then those who want OOo apps can install just

the ones they need later." The article also points out that most people

agree OpenOffice.org was overkill on small, underpowered netbooks.

=== It's Not The Hokey Cokey; OpenOffice BACK In Ubuntu Netbook Edition

After User Outcry ===

 

On February 11, 2010, OMG!Ubuntu reports on that because of the

community response to OpenOffice being dropped from Ubuntu Netbook

Edition of Ubuntu 10.04, the early decision now has developers

rethinking their decision. In this February 11 article, OMG!Ubuntu let's

readers know that the decision to use AbiWord and GNUMeric has been

fully reversed and OpenOffice will be installed by default. Here is what

Ubuntu developer, Rick Spencer has to say about the reversal. "All in

all it seems that users and community members would really prefer that

we ship OOo for the editing suite. We discussed a bit in #ubuntu-desktop

this morning and decided that we should probably switch back to OOo,

which we will do on Monday if we don't hear anything that makes us

change our minds again."

=== Canonical’s Latest Ubuntu Developer Pitch ===

 

Joe Panettieri, WorksWithU, discusses Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer

Week, which is scheduled for March 1-6, 2010. Panettieri notes,

"Canonical is making multiple moves to engage and energize Ubuntu

software developers." Panettieri notes that there are two moves worth

watching, "Canonical has made multiple moves to strengthen the Ubuntu

ISV story. Incoming COO Matt Asay arrives with a big Rolodex filled with

ISV contacts and boardroom relationships." and "Jono Bacon, Canonical’s

Ubuntu Community Manager, is preparing an online learning event called

Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week." Panettieri states that,

"WorksWithU will closely watch the Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week

for more potential signs of progress."
