=== QA to Launchpad Liaison ===
The Ubuntu QA team is interested in establishing a liaison to the
Launchpad team. Because Launchpad is heavily used and critical for QA
activities in Ubuntu it is important that Ubuntu QA is well represented
to the Launchpad development and management teams.
The liaison's duties would include:
* Provide Launchpad developers with prioritized bugs/specs relevant to
Ubuntu QA
* Provide Ubuntu QA with information on Launchpad changes and progress
* Drive discussion around needed Launchpad changes or possible bug fixes
* Advocate on behalf of Ubuntu QA to Launchpad developers and management
* Do the all of the above in as transparent and collaborative of a way
as possible
Some useful liaison activities:
* Solicit Launchpad feedback on a specific change or Launchpad feature
* Solicit individual priority bugs affecting QA
* Consult Launchpad developers for possible future directions

=== Ubuntu Global Bug Jam ===
Attention LoCo teams! Time is getting short and you need to get moving
or run the risk of missing out on one of the best Ubuntu events of the
year. Next weekend, August 8th-10th is set as the Ubuntu Global Bug Jam
celebration. Lots of teams are already signed up, but your team can
still make a difference to the success of the event. It's going to be a
rockin' good time that no team should miss out on.

== New in Intrepid Ibex ==
=== Java Open jdk6 promoted to main ===
Recently Openjdk6 was promoted to main; with today's upload of
java-common, OpenJDK6 is the default java runtime / development kit in
main, on all architectures.
* On amd64, i386, lpia and sparc, the Hotspot VM, including the JIT
compiler is used as the VM.
* On ia64, the Hotspot VM, using the byte code interpreter is used.
* On powerpc, the Cacao VM, including the Cacao JIT compiler is used
as the VM.
What will change for the packaging?
* Use of the default-jre-headless, default-jre, default-jdk,
default-jdk-builddep packages is preferred in favour of a specific
runtime/jdk. The packages provide a symlink /usr/lib/jvm/default-java to
point to our preferred choice of jvm/sdk.
* build dependencies: If a source package builds a "-gcj" package,
don't stop building it yet. This will slow down the gij runtime.
Instead, use "default-jdk-builddep", which depends on the default jdk
and java-gcj-compat-dev. If no "-gcj" package is built, use default-jdk
as a build dependency.
* dependencies: For a dependency, which doesn't require an UI, use
default-jre-headless | java2-runtime-headless
* for all other dependencies, use default-jre | java2-runtime Replace
java2- with java5- only if newer language features are required.
For intrepid the team will strive to replace all direct references to
java-gcj-compat-dev and java-gcj-compat with references to default-*.

=== Launchpad 2.0 Radically Improves Collaboration for Open Source
Projects ===
The formal notification of the roll-out of Launchpad 2.0 has arrived.
Launchpad was conceived as a nexus of collaboration for Open Source
projects to make them more efficient to build, easier to collaborate on,
and more open to innovation from community participation, according to
Mark Shuttleworth, CEO, Canonical. What it means to the individual is
the ability to branch and merge code, mailing lists to keep track of
changes and bugs, integration with Bugzilla and Track to work together
with other communities, and a simpler, more intuitive web interface.

=== Launchpad 2.0: new beta API, new UI and more! ===
Launchpad 2.0 has arrived with a new logo, a new look and lots of new
features. This release brings together new features from the past nine
months of Launchpad’s development and introduces two exciting beta features.
* Restful web services API and Python library - One of the main goals
for Launchpad 2.0 has been to make it easier to manipulate data in
Launchpad. With this release, Launchpad is introducing a beta test of
two features that will enable you to develop external applications that
can authenticate, query and modify data in Launchpad’s database.
* a restful web services API
* a Python library to access the new API
Initially, the API will provide access to files, and search for bugs,
people and teams systems. Full details of the API and Python library
will be detailed later this week. In the mean time, apply to join the
Launchpad Beta Testers team if you’d like to take part in the beta
testing. https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers
* Closer integration with Bugzilla and Trac - Often, bugs in free
software affect more than one project. Launchpad lets projects share the
same bug report and comment history, however up until now, that has only
been available where each project uses Launchpad as their bug tracker.
With Launchpad 2.0 comes the introduction beta testing of two new GPL
plugins — one for Bugzilla, one for Trac — that enable projects to share
a comment history between the bug as it’s tracked in Launchpad and on
external trackers.
* Simpler page layout and navigation - One of the most obvious changes
in Launchpad 2.0 is the web interface’s new design. The aim has been to
simplify the layout and navigation. There’s more information at the
launchpad blog here:

=== Mark Shuttleworth: Launchpad to be open source in 12 months ===
Mark Shuttleworth says that Launchpad will likely be open sourced within
the year. During his keynote address at OSCON, Shuttleworth put to rest
the criticism of some in the open source community that the project
hosting platform was proprietary software. Specifically, Shuttleworth
said, "We will release the source code within the next twelve months."
Ryan Paul believes the Launchpad user interface is already a much better
service than competing closed-source project hosting services, but
opening it up to the community will allow it to accelerate development.

== In The Press ==
* Launchpad Wants to Host Your Project - In a blog written by Mike
Gunderloy, he shows that Launchpad is making GPL-licensed add ons for
bug-tracking status and history sharing with other projects that use
Bugzilla or Trac. Also, there is the RESTful API, giving access to some
of Launchpad's services. The intention is that more services will be
added in the future. The combination of the new features in Launchpad,
especially the API, make it a good choice for those looking to the
future. http://ostatic.com/169995-blog/launchpad-wants-to-host-your-project
* Will a $19.99 Ubuntu Succeed Where the Free Version Hasn’t? - Ubuntu
is now on store shelves at BestBuy, and Adrian Kingsley-Hughes takes a
look at some questions concerning this. One thing that he doesn't
understand is why people who are capable of researching and downloading
pirated copies of software don't just download or buy a copy of Linux,
instead. He believes that a Linux install goes pretty smoothly on most
modern desktop PCs. If things go wrong however, and they can go wrong,
then even with the backing of tech support a Linux newbie is going to
see a side of Linux that they’ll probably not forget. Read his opinions

== In The Blogosphere ==
* Economic clustering and Free Software release coordination - In a
follow-up to a presentation he made at the Linux Symposium, Mark
Shuttleworth elaborates on the benefits of coordination in distribution
releases. In this blog article, he shows how car manufacturers all work
off a common baseline of features, and this commonality doesn't deter
the brand loyalty of the customers. The fashion industry is another
industry where releases are coordinated to achieve maximum effect. It is
Shuttleworth's contention that the coordination of freezes and releases
will build a stronger impact on the global software market.

* Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Alpha 3, Screen shots and New Theme
Proposals - The "Break It Down" blog takes a look at some of the
proposed features of Intrepid Ibex, concentrating on the theme and icons
that may be used. The blog noted that the theme appears to be a trendy
dark theme, despite the fact that the theme for Hardy Heron was a
lighter one. In addition, new icons were proposed with a more asymmetric
look to them. There are a number of other items listed in the article,
with links to their features.

* LinuxWorld Expo Preview: Four Canonical and Ubuntu Linux Trends -
The Var Guy takes a look at the upcoming LinuxWorld Expo, August 4 in
San Francisco, and raises some possibilities concerning revelations by
Ubuntu and Canonical. His suggestions include server-oriented
application relationships, an appliance initiative tied to Ubuntu
Server, Netbooks as being a higher priority than Mobile Internet Devices
(MIDs), and for Ubuntu to be the defacto platform used on thousands of
PCs that are donated to area schools.

* XP vs Ubuntu, the beginning - After having some trouble with another
OS, the author installed Ubuntu on a dual boot configuration.
Partitioning was easy with GParted and the installation was a breeze.
Best of all, everything worked after the install, including wireless
which had been a big problem on the other OS. In fact, the install was
so easy that it left him a bit confused, like there should have been
something else to do. His conclusion is that out of the box Linux really
is better.

* 10 + 2 things you’ll get with Ubuntu 8.10 “Intrepid Ibex” - Fabrizio
Balliano outlines some things proposed for the Intrepid Ibex release.
These include faster login, better Flash experience, 3G networking,
guest account, cleaning up no longer used packages, automatic download
of printer drivers, font selector, faster installation from desktop DVD,
installation from USB stick, and new graphic for the installer.
Additional possibilities are identity management and network
authentication, and PackageKit cross-distro package manager.

* No! Wha…oooh…wow. Yes! - The author of this article is a tech
business owner who uses Ubuntu on his iMac to show friends and customers
the advantages of using open source. He thinks using Linux is a lot like
listening to an undiscovered band, one that none of his friends have
listened to. When they first experience it they want it, because there
is something in the experience that gives the initial impression extra
impact. When customers realize that the system is built upon a
foundation of free and open software they have a newfound respect. Linux
is its best sales tool, because it creates curiosity.

=== Linux pre-installs rocket to three per cent ===
Linux has made headway in Microsoft's UK heartland, the PC sales
channel. The number of machines shipped with Linux preloaded on them has
multiplied a whopping 28 times since Microsoft launched its Vista
operating system in January 2007. This sounds impressive, but Linux was
starting from a rather small base in traditional UK sales channels. The
Linux share of this route to market has edged up ever since the Vista
launch. It broke the two per cent barrier in May after the latest
release of Ubuntu, the strain of Linux most capable of kicking Microsoft
in the shins.

=== Steve Stalcup Interview ===
Steve Stalcup(aka Vorian) lives in Ohio with his wife and 4 children.
After using Ubuntu since 5.04, he is now devoting his interests to
Kubuntu. Steve is involved in many community projects and he recently
earned his MOTU status. He started by contributing in small ways, and
gradually tackled larger and more complex tasks. Then, before he knew
it, he was getting new packages into Ubuntu and Debian. There were a lot
of great resources he used to learn the basics of packaging. The “Old”
Ubuntu packaging guide, and the Debian New Maintainers Guide in
particular, but the MOTU team is great about helping anyone learn about
packaging. For the intrepid release, Steve is focusing on Kubuntu, in
order to help make it a top shelf release, but will also help in the
sponsorship queue as a way of thanking all the sponsors who helped him.
