=== Potential hardware-damaging e1000e driver: Intrepid ===
Reports have been coming in that the e1000e ethernet driver for Intel
GigE chipsets, as included upstream in Linux 2.6.27, may under certain
conditions irreparably damage your ethernet hardware by corrupting the
on-board firmware. Alpha releases are expected to have a fair number of
bugs, but bugs that damage hardware is another matter. As a result of
this bug we must recommend that users do *not* use Intrepid alphas,
including the LiveCDs, on machines with Intel GigE ethernet.
Efforts to safeguard the hardware of affected users are ongoing, though
initially this will consist of a workaround in the form of disabling the
e1000e driver. Alpha 6 CD images will not be re-issued for this fix, so
affected users are advised to either use daily CD images once a
resolution is in place, or to wait for the release of the 8.10 beta, due
to be released on October 2nd. Further discussion of this issue can be
found on the ubuntu-devel mailing list at:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-September/026559.html,
and progress on resolving this issue can be tracked at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263555.
=== Ubuntu 8.10 beta freeze now in effect ===
In preparation for the Beta release of Ubuntu 8.10, a freeze is now in
effect. All uploads to main must go through a member of the release
team.[1] Uploads to universe can be manually pushed through the queue
without release team approval. Issues which are important for the beta
release will be tracked by the
release team.[2]

=== Ubuntu 8.10 beta approaching ===
Ubuntu 8.10, Intrepid Ibex Beta is scheduled to be released Thursday,
October 2nd, 2008. There are milestone bug items remaining[1] that need
to be cleaned up. There are also bugs that affect the release as a
whole.[2] It is also important to address inconsistencies in archiving,
such as uninstallable packages in main and restricted[3] and undeclared
Replaces or Conflicts.[4]

=== Ubuntu 7.04 reaches end-of-life on October 19, 2008 ===
Ubuntu announced the release of 7.04 almost 18 months ago, on April
19th, 2007. As with the earlier releases, Ubuntu committed to ongoing
security and critical fixes for a period of 18 months. The support
period for 7.04 is now nearing its end-of-life date. On Sunday, October
19th, 2008, Ubuntu security notices will no longer include information,
or updated packages for Ubuntu 7.04. The supported upgrade path is to
version 7.10. Those wishing to upgrade to 8.04 must first upgrade to
7.10, then again to 8.04. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades.
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2008-September/000113.html
=== Intrepid Release Parties! ===
Ubuntu will be 4 years old with the release of Intrepid Ibex. What
better time to throw a party than to combine the release with a birthday
bash? Organizing a party is pretty simple:
* Pick a date: It is recommended that it be either Thursday, October
30th, or the following weekend, Nov. 1st or 2nd.
* Pick a venue: This can be someone’s back yard, a pub, a university
room, a school, etc. The key thing is not the venue, it is the people.
* Add your party to the list:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseParties
* Let the world know: Blog about it, make up some fliers, and put them
in computers shops, libraries, cafes, educational establishments, etc.
A more detailed guide to organizing a release party can be found at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/RunningReleaseParty. Be sure
to include your release party on the master list at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseParties. The important thing is
to get organized, have fun, and help make the release of Intrepid Ibex a
success in your community.

=== Ubuntu Upstream Report ===
The upstream report at:
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+upstreamreport, is now in shape for
people to use for bug work. The upstream report is a real-time list of
the Top 100 projects in Ubuntu, sorted by open bugs. It provides
information such as how many of those bugs are triaged, how many have an
upstream task associated to them, and how well those bugs are being
linked to an upstream bug tracker. Report users are encouraged to
contact Jorge Castro with feedback concerning better measurement of bug
linkages, and any other details. More information at the link.
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-September/026573.html
=== Ubuntu Server survey launched ===
The Server Team wants to know: Where does Ubuntu Server fit into your IT
environment? Members of the Server team devised a set of questions to
better understand where and why you are using Ubuntu Server to support
your IT infrastructure. Completing the survey,
http://survey.ubuntu.com/, takes around 20 minutes and topics such as
hardware, virtualization and system integration are covered. The survey
will help prioritize feature requests, guide partnerships when choosing
new technologies and provide input for the next Ubuntu Developer Summit
in December 2008. Make your voice heard, shape the future of Ubuntu
Server, take the survey!
http://ubuntuserver.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/ubuntu-server-survey-launched/
=== Introducing the Ubuntu Wanted project ===
The purpose of the Ubuntu Wanted Project is to provide a place for
projects, and potential contributors to find each other. Brainstorm
provides the ideas, with launchpad, and development toolsets providing
the means. What is needed are people to man the projects, and the Ubuntu
Wanted Project is intended to serve that purpose. Like most projects,
this one needs some help, including PHP and SQL skills. To contact Sense
Hofstede (Qense), go to the #ubuntu-website or email the Ubuntu Website
mailing list. https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-website
http://www.ndeschildre.net/2008/09/25/introducing-the-ubuntu-wanted-project/
=== Progress of Romanian Translation Team ===
The Romanian Translation Team has now set up a wiki section that include
a translation guide, a starter guide, and various templates for emails.
Currently, they are involved in translating the Ubuntu Desktop Course,
which is a slow process. They have also reorganized the localization
forum from the Romanian Ubuntu Forum, and are continuing work on GNOME
packages, passing translations upstream to the coordinator of the GNOME
Romanian translation team.

=== Regular Bug Jams in Berlin kicked off! ===
Daniel Holbach reports on the first of what is to become regularly Bug
Jams for Berlin. About 15 people showed up, most of them were very new
to bug triage, but there was plenty of information available for them to
be able to understand how to get started. They also set up 5-A-Day in
PPA for everyone. Being a first time event, there was a learning curve
for those new to working with bugs, including organization, such as
having a list of bugs ready, and rearranging tables to seat people in
work groups. Most importantly though:
* They had lots of fun.
* There was lots of interest in Upstreaming Bugs.
* They have active 5-A-Dayers in the Ubuntu Berlin team now.
* Everybody left very excited

=== ABLEconf co-hosted by Ubuntu Arizona LoCo ===
On September 20th, the Arizona LoCo team in cooperation with the user
groups in the state co-hosted an open source conference in Phoenix. It
was a first try at coordinating an event with all the state user groups,
and according to those who attended, it was a big success. The idea was
two fold, unite the user groups, and advocate for open source computing
in Arizona. Members of the team made 3 of the 21 presentations at the
conference, and worked at the team booth. Special thanks to all the user
groups that participated in this kickoff event for open source
conferences in Arizona. For a detailed summary of the event including
lots of pictures, please visit the link.

* Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" (Alpha 6): first impressions - Hamish
Taylor, reporting for ITWire, has written about Intrepid Ibex Alpha, and
now he has gone on to actually try it. He was expecting it to still be
buggy, being an Alpha, but was pleased to actually be able to use it to
write his report. Hamish was also surprised to noticed that Intrepid was
faster than Hardy Heron, he also noticed improvements in individual
packages like Gedit, and Nautilus.

* Toshiba NB100 netbook announced for the UK - Amy-Mae Elliott for
Pocket-lint reports that Toshiba has come out with a new mini. Sporting
a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 8.9 inch 1024 X 600 display, Wi-Fi and Ethernet
port, and 3 USB ports, the NB100 is entering the growing netbook market.
The unit can either be equipped with Ubuntu 8.04 and OpenOffice 2.4 or
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition.

== In The Blogosphere ==
* The Validity Of 5-A-Day - Jono Bacon, who is the Ubuntu Community
Manager for Canonical, responds to the Ubuntu UK podcast's debate about
the 5-A-Day goal for bug triaging. 5-A-Day isn't necessarily for
everyone, and at the moment a relatively low number of people are
participating in 5-A-Day. Despite the low number of participants, in the
past seven months the 5-A-Day team is responsible for having touched
over 14,000 bugs, and thanks to the 5-A-Day team's efforts more than
8,000 bugs have been closed. 5-A-Day team membership fluctuates, and
Jono gives a list of excellent educational resources available to those
interested in joining the 5-A-Day team. The 5-A-Day team is making an
excellent contribution to the Ubuntu community, and anyone with the
skills to join in is encouraged to do so. http://www.jonobacon.org/?p=1307
* 5 Things That Make Linux Great - Ken Hess, a DaniWeb Staff
Writer/Blogger, reports on five aspects that he feels are compelling
reasons for running Linux. His list points out to Linux newcomers that
Linux is free, stable, and offers high quality software such as
OpenOffice.org. These factors, combined with the fact that Linux will
work well on older systems, make a compelling argument for those
unfamiliar with Linux to give it a try. Hess suggests if you're a
beginner to Linux operating systems, and want to try it out, you should
look at Ubuntu. http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3248.html
* Ubuntu alpha hits a snag - Christina Warren of the download squad
blog comments on a serious bug found in 8.10 alpha. "In some
circumstances it appears possible for the 2.6.27-rc kernels to corrupt
the NVRAM used by some Intel network parts to store data such as MAC
addresses. This is limited to the new e1000e driver, and reports have
only appeared from users of "82566 and 82567 based LAN parts (ich8 and
ich9)" (to quote Intel)". So far only laptops are effected, but it is
not fully understood whether desktops or servers are vulnerable as well.
The e1000e driver in the latest kernel release candidate may potentially
corrupt NVRAM in Intel 82566 (ich8) and 82567 (ich9) chipsets. This
could potentially damage hardware. In some cases a BIOS update has
resurrected hardware, but often the hardware needs to be replaced.
Christina reports that there is some debate as to whether the alpha
release should be removed from the download site. Risks are associated
with running alpha software, though in the overwhelming majority of
cases, that risk is to software and data, not hardware. To make matters
worse, this is hardware integrated into the motherboard of a laptop.
Christina recommends removing the download and driver, and release a
program to identify if a potential user's system has effected hardware.

* Ubuntu, KDE 3.5, the Mac Mini, and the Future - The author of the
RFD Networks blog comments on Ubuntu and the sickness that he shares
with many in the Open Source community. Though there are a couple of
frustrations with running "Ubuntu flavored Gnome" it has become a very
stable system, so much so that the author is bored. He comments, "I am
simply bored with getting my work done and not fighting with my
computer. It is a sickness, I know". In an effort to overcome the
boredom, he has installed the packages required to run the KDE desktop,
and was happy to immediately run into the number key issue immediately.
The author feels that Ubuntu is certainly ready to be the sole OS for
the average home user, though in his case the desire to tinker with the
OS superseded his desire for a 100% stable system.

=== Review: Xubuntu 8.10 'Intrepid Ibex' Alpha 6 ===
In this report, Andrew examines Xubuntu 8.10 Alpha 6 from the gamers
point of view. This is one of a number of reports Andrew has been doing
on distributions, which include Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 2, Mandriva 2009 Beta
1 (KDE4.1), Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4, Kubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4 and Kubuntu 8.10
Alpha 6. He identifies his equipment, then goes into installation and
what's available directly from the repositories. His feeling is that,
for older equipment, Xubuntu is the way to go.

=== Linux Foundation opening doors to individual participation ===
The Linux Foundation is now accepting affiliate membership applications
from individuals. Unlike the corporate memberships of Platinum, Gold,
and Silver, the affiliate members are restricted somewhat in the voice
that they have, but are able to select 2 at-large directors to speak for
them. In addition, individual affiliate members receive the quarterly
newsletter and their choice of 3 different T-shirts, all for $49 annually.
