=== Launchpad JavaScript now combo loaded and faster than ever. ===

YUI 3.3.0 to 3.5.1 and is now served by the combo loader. This change

=== Mercurial Imports will end on October 5th ===

 

Matthew Revell of Launchpad shares that "on the 5th of October they'll

be ending their beta of Mercurial imports in Launchpad. On that day

existing Mercurial imports will cease and there won't be any

possibility to create new ones." However, Revell points out that "this

doesn't affect Bazaar, Git, Subversion or CVS imports." The reason for

Mercurial ending is because of low usage and low quality.

== Ubuntu Cloud News ==

 

=== How we ran the scheduler for the Linux Plumbers conference ===

 

Jorge Castro discusses how Ubuntu's cloud team, together with Summit

OSS maintainer Chris Johnston, hosted, deployed, and managed the Linux

plumbers conference schedule via juju.

Since Castro and his team are "generalizing this work into a more

generic Django charm," anyone interested can contact Castro. Help is

not required just with Django but with "Pyramid, nodejs, Rails and

$your_favorite_web_platform" as well.

=== [Juju Adventure] Live testing ===

 

Victor Tuson Palau continues his blog series demonstrating how Ubuntu

Android Apps using Juju with a blog post titled "How to test if it all

works in a production environment?"

=== Xubuntu: Offline documentation rewritten for 12.10 ===

 

The Xubuntu team announces that offline documentation has been

refreshed for the 12.10 cycle. Included among the changes are

restructured content, updated documentation to reflect new default

applications, and completely rewritten sections.

 

http://xubuntu.org/news/offline-documentation-rewritten-for-12-10/

 

=== Jono Bacon: More Information About Online Dash Search Privacy ===

 

Jono Bacon responds to some of the concerns about user privacy that

have arisen since the inclusion of the ability for the Dash to search

external sources for results. After speaking with John Lenton, Senior

Engineering Manager, Jono reassures users that no user-identifiable

data is retrieved during the search, and that Canonical does not

perform any kind of user tracking. They also touched upon concerns

about the searches being unencrypted, saying "we are currently working

to encrypt these dash searches ready for the release of this feature

in Ubuntu 12.10."

 

In a later post, Bacon re-enforces that the shopping lens is still

under development and testing, and that there will be an option to

easily disable it.

=== Charlene Tessier: In Response - Ubuntu: Re-Doing the Possible ===

 

Charlene Tessier writes about problems around Ubuntu usage and

adoption, and criticism by existing users about recent changes to the

operating system, speculating that 99% of people don't know what

Ubuntu is or what it is for. We want to reach all of these other

people, so Tessier thinks that a solution for the adoption problem is

to go out on the street and talk with people who haven't used Ubuntu

yet to see what they like and prefer.

developers to work with the LXC library. The goal is to make it

discusses how the initial implementation of the API has been pushed to

the LXC staging branch on github and into the LXC package of Ubuntu

12.10.

update focuses on bringing improvements in quality. Notable new

developer community can come and ask questions without fear of

intimidation or condescension." Henry also highlights crucial parts of

the Ubuntu Women organization such as mentoring, contributions, and

education.

 

Henry points out that, as in any part of the Ubuntu project, people

are welcome to join Ubuntu Women as well. They can do that by

"contacting anyone on the leadership team

(wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Contacts ) or check out the #ubuntu-women and

=== Ubuntu Ohio - Burning Circle: Burning Circle Episode 84 ===

 

Stephen Michael Kellat brings us news, among other things, about the

Amazon shopping experience under Ubuntu, and mass market needs. The

question is raised whether to be proactive in announcing a feature or

being reactive when somebody else says something about it. Most simply

put: Is anybody responsible for communicating to the non-developer

mass market about these sorts of features prior to their

incorporation?
