about nine months and says "along the way I've learned or been taught

some of the things that are important to remember." Nicholas lists

=== Brian Murray: Phasing of Stable Release Updates ===

 

Brian Murray writes that for some time he's wanted to gradually roll

out updates to expanding subsets of Ubuntu users so that regressions

can be monitored and the update process stopped if issues any are

found. Brian tells us that users of Ubuntu 13.04 who install updates

with update-manager are automatically participating in this process.

He describes how the Phased Update process works and how the Ubuntu

Error Tracker has been modified to help determine if there are any

regressions.

have made a dramatic step forward, really becoming the architecture

that it is meant to be. I can't wait!"

 

http://theravingrick.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-big-rocks-of-august.html

almost there! ===

phablet-tools to more easily support community ports of Ubuntu Touch

Open Source Project for the year at the eighth Open Source China -

Open Source World Summit in June and adds that Mark Shuttleworth

delivered a keynote to introduce Ubuntu and Ubuntu Touch to attendees.

== In The Press ==

 

=== In Pictures: Ubuntu Touch starts getting real ===

 

Galen Grumen of ARN writes that latest beta of Ubuntu Touch shows the

outlines of a possible winner. Galen provides a slide show of the

various screens and concludes, "It's well thought out, nicely

designed, and should appeal to users for whom iPhone and Android

devices are overkill, where apps are not that important, but

lightweight services are."

=== Why the Ubuntu Edge is a success, even if it never exists ===

 

Nick Statt of CNET writes that Ubuntu Edge may fail to meet its record

crowdfunding goal of $32 million as the Edge has seen its support slow

to a trickle and that if it does fail, Mark Shuttleworth and the

Canonical team will still have plenty of work as Mark Shuttleworth

wants the community he's created to be a part of what he sees as the

next big mobile jump.

 

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57597208-94/why-the-ubuntu-edge-is-a-success-even-if-it-never-exists/

 

=== Ubuntu Edge Smartphone Unlikely To Enter Production ===

 

Leo Xavier of Mobile Mag writes that when Canonical's Ubuntu Edge

'super-phone' had a flying start raising around $3,250,000 within a

day after the project was launched people thought that the 30 day

limit to achieve their funding goal of $32,000,000 was more than

enough. He compares the specifications of Ubuntu Edge, Apple iPhone 5

and Samsung Galaxy S4 and asks his readers if they are going to back

the Ubuntu Edge campaign, or if they feel that too much is being asked

for the hardware.

 

http://www.mobilemag.com/2013/08/08/ubuntu-edge-troubles/

 

=== Crowdfunded Ubuntu Phone Will Be A Big Success, Even If It Never Happens ===

 

Sharif Sakr of Forbes writes that Ubuntu Edge will pay off for both

Shuttleworth and Bloomberg, regardless of whether it eventually gets

the green light and concludes, "Shuttleworth may be disheartened if

the Indiegogo campaign misses its target when it is forced to shut

down in two weeks' time, but logic suggests he should shrug it off and

look at the upside."
