Planet UbuntuPlanet Ubuntu - http://planet.ubuntu.com/Jim Hutchinson: Ubucon in Boulder, CO - Sept 27, 2008- September 17, 2008 Some intrepid members of the Colorado Loco Team (not me, I&8217;m just plugging it) have been busy organizing our second Ubucon at the Google offices in Boulder, CO. I attended the first one last year which was also my first un-conference of this kind. It was a lot of fun and it was cool to actually see inside Google. I would encourage others to attend if possible or look into setting up your Ubucon. I wonder if it would be possible to simulcast this and get people from affar to participate....http://ubuntukids.org/blog/?p=107 Michael Garrido: Software Freedom Day 08 Peru- September 16, 2008 From Software Freedom Day &8216;08http://xander21c.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/software-freedom-day-08-peru/ Ubuntu Server blog: Server Team 20080916 meeting minutes- September 16, 2008 Here are the minutes of the meeting.

He did everything, literally. From blog buttons and web banners to CD covers, posters, flyers, stickers, presentation templates, and even a countdown banner! The coolest thing is that all of his work has been made using Free Software (GIMP and Inkscape). The artwork is licensed under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA License.

So many years ago I used to play typera, a game in which you had to type words scrolling on your terminal screen as fast as you could. I&8217;ve also been a fan of dancing games, not that I&8217;ve been any good in them. And yes, then there was the Typing of the Dead. Anyone remember that The fun about dancing games is partly about those japanese songs. Well, here&8217;s the killer game for those of us who need to keep their typing...http://myrtti.fi/blog/2008/09/16/nerdier-into-the-groove/ Craig A. Eddy: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum- September 16, 2008 With no disrespect to Stephen Sondheim and Burt Shevelove for the delightful musical (play and movie) by that name, something funny DID happen on the way to the Forum. In particular, the Ubuntu forum. In doing some searching around, suddenly I was faced with a page I recognized but didn&8217;t recognize. Here was a page that was obviously an Arizona Team page, in fact it was the log of an IRC meeting we&8217;d had, but the theme was NOTHING like what I would have expected. It was RED. Now why...http://tycheent.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/a-funny-thing-happened-on-the-way-to-the-forum/ Dustin Kirkland: Hostnames Meme - DSotM- September 16, 2008 Some of the these are VM&8217;s, and others are machines with multiple purposes, and thus multiple hostnames.

I must say that the response has been tremendous, thanks to some 600+ Diggs and a slew of responses on the Ubuntu-Devel mailing list.

Jacob Peddicord: Boom!- September 16, 2008 Whew, the winds this weekend made it seem as if Ohio was hit by a hurricane. Oh wait. Wind speeds in central Ohio hit 75 mph (120kmh), nearly as fast as a moderate tornado. Power was knocked out on Sunday. Calling AEP, if you were lucky, might have gotten you an automated outage reporting system if you didn&8217;t get the &8220;line busy&8221; tone first, with estimates of seven days until power could be restored. Luckily for us, it came back on this morning after two days. What was strange...http://jacob.peddicord.net/blog/2008/09/16/boom/ |
