=== Canonical Delves Deeper into the Cloud – Launches Ubuntu Enterprise 
Cloud Services ===

London: July 1, 2009-- Canonical, the founder of the Ubuntu project, 
today launched new professional services to help and support users 
building 'private clouds', cloud infrastructures behind a corporate 
firewall.

The move follows the technical preview in April of Ubuntu Enterprise 
Cloud (UEC), an open-source system that enables organizations to build 
their own clouds that match the interface of Amazon EC2. UEC is now 
available as part of the Ubuntu Server Edition technology stack.

By creating private clouds with UEC, organizations can optimize server 
use and increase data-centre efficiencies, while lowering costs and 
providing end users with self-service IT. Ubuntu is the first Linux 
distribution to provide such a system and now Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud 
Services from Canonical help businesses build these environments with 
optimal efficiency.

“Enterprises are realizing that building 'private clouds' enables them 
to better manage variable workloads, while reducing the waste of idle 
servers. Building on open-source technology also avoids the issue of 
vendor lock-in,” said Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical. “Ubuntu 
Enterprise Cloud enables businesses to do this  - and the addition of 
these services helps them to do it with confidence.”

Canonical has partnered with Eucalyptus, whose eponymous product forms 
the base of UEC, to jointly provide the service but with a single 
interface for the customer through the Canonical support team.

“While the IT industry talks of future strategies and releases vapour 
ware, UEC today allows businesses to deploy and now support a 'private 
cloud' on open source technologies from a renowned Linux provider,” said 
Woody Rollins, CEO of Eucalyptus. “We are very excited to lend our 
expertise to building the type of professional services that will help 
more businesses discover the benefits of private clouds built on open 
technologies.”
Pricing and Availability

Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Services enable users to scale up from a 
five-machine environment all the way to a site license covering all 
machines, physical and virtual, in a single location.

Yearly pricing for entry-level support for five physical servers and up 
to 25 virtual Ubuntu servers is $4,750 for 9x5 standard support and 
$17,500 for 24x7 advanced support. Additional support packs are 
available per physical server and per ten virtual servers for $1,250 
p.a. for standard support and $3,000 p.a. for advanced.

Site support is also available which covers one geographical location. 
It includes an unlimited number of physical and virtual servers for 
$90,000 p.a. for standard support and $150,000 p.a. for advanced.

To use Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, users must first install Ubuntu 9.04 
Server Edition available at no charge from

=== Tutorial of the Week ===

June 6, 2009.

This week we would like to highlight FakeOutdoorsman's 
(http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=162846) well written and nicely 
presented "HOWTO: Easily enable MP3, MPEG4, AAC, and other restricted 
encoding in FFmpeg". As pointed out in the thread, this tutorial clears 
up some confusion linked to legal reasons restricting the abilities of 
the ubuntu provided FFmpeg package. Several options are provided, along 
with the steps to follow to revert changes and remove the restricted 
packages. Well done!

=== Ubuntu Forums working on Login with Open ID ===

Canonical has been working with ubuntu-geek to implement openID 
authentication on the forums. Work is still in development as some 
features need to be adjusted (adding friends for example). This is part 
of the process leading to a greater integration between forums accounts 
and Launchpad accounts. Stay tuned!

=== Jonathan Riddell: Canonical Party Welcomes Gran Canaria Desktop 
Summit ===

The Gran Canaria Desktop Summit was opened with a party sponsored by 
Canonical. Stickers, t-shirts and beer were all given out to 
contributors and users of KDE, Gnome and any other free software 
environment. Some converts were made from the local Canary island 
population who were enthused by the spirit of freedom. Conversation 
ranged from the essential cross desktop collaboration issues to the 
question of whether it ever rains in Las Palmas. Pictures of the party 
can be found at the link.

=== Mackenzie Morgan: Ohio Linuxfest Call for Presentations ===

Ohio Linuxfest is now in its 7th year, and the theme for this years 
event is the Past, Present, and Future of UNIX & Linux. Doug McIlroy 
will be keynoting.  If you haven't heard of him yet, he was Kernighan, 
Thomson, & Richie's boss back at AT&T Bell Labs when they were creating 
UNIX and C. He's credited with creating the UNIX pipe ("|") as well. 
Peter Salus, known for his books "A Quarter Century of UNIX" and "The 
Daemon, the Gnu and the Penguin" will be keynoting as well.  And 
finally, Shawn Powers of Linux Journal fame will be giving a keynote on 
"Fixing the Economy with Linux." Bdale and his daughter Elizabeth Garbee 
are expected to speak. Jono has also agreed to speak. But these six 
people can't be it.  If you've got something to say, why not submit a 
proposal? The call for presentations is only open a few more days—it 
closes on the 8th. Get your proposal in! You can find out more about 
this event at the link.

=== Ubuntu’s Papercuts: Usability in Little Things ===

Linux Loop notes that the first ten of the One Hundred Papercuts have 
been finished.  These are little things, like changing a word from one 
that geeks would understand to one that most normal people would 
understand.  The author believes that this might be the first time that 
real attention has been made to tiny details.

=== As It Stands, Ubuntu Has No Issues With Mono ===

Michael Larabel of Phoronix reports on the position paper concerning 
Mono that was issued by Scott James Remnant on behalf of Canonical and 
the Ubuntu Technical Board.  This paper was released in response to the 
concerns of free software advocates, including Richard Stallman, who 
question the legal aspects of using Mono.  However, Ubuntu continues to 
include it and packages built on it, like F-Spot and Tomboy, in the 
distribution since there have not been any legal notices of infringement 
from Microsoft or other IP stakeholders.  Scott's position statement on 
Mono in Ubuntu can be found on Ubuntu's mailing list:

=== Ubuntu: Still Popular? ===

The author of Starry Hope looks at some statistics concerning Ubuntu 
popularity, with the understanding that they really can't project the 
actual numbers of users.  However, in that light, he presents the 
information from DistroWatch, Netcraft and Alexa along with blogging 
trends, Google trends in searching, and Twitter.  His conclusion is that 
Ubuntu is still the most popular Linux distribution.  Those interested 
in the statistics may find his numbers, charts, and conclusions at the link.

=== Desktop Linux Reviews: Kubuntu 9.04 ===

Jim Lynch wasn't particularly impressed with Kubuntu 9.04, and felt that 
it best served experienced Linux users that enjoy KDE and prefer it to 
Gnome.  He did not recommend that new Linux users try it.  Some of his 
objections had to do with the look-and-feel of KDE, and he acknowledges 
that he is primarily a GNOME user.  The quality of the add/remove 
software and the sliding menus were two of his objections.  Read the 
whole article at:  http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2009/06/25/kubuntu-9-04/

=== Linux Vendors Head to the Cloud in Search of Cash ===

Sean Michael Kerner of InternetNews.com examines the difference between 
the Red Hat certification program for Cloud Computing and Ubuntu's paid 
support services.  The main difference appears to be that Ubuntu does 
not see Certification as being valuable.  Simon Wardley, head of 
Canonical's cloud strategy, said, "We do believe there is considerable 
value in providing users with an open source system to build their own 
private clouds that match the de facto standard of Amazon's EC2 API." 
His justification is that, "These services will be used in enterprise 
environments and any enterprise wants the reassurance of professional, 
ongoing support in this case from the code originators, Canonical."

=== Why Ubuntu has become the flag bearer for Linux ===

This entry from techradar.com sees the rise in popularity of Ubuntu as 
being caused by the marketing strategy of Canonical, the introduction of 
LiveCDs as a means of installation, and the lack of interest in Windows 
Vista.  In short, it's saying that Ubuntu entered the distribution scene 
at just the right time to catch the wave. Read the entire article and 
get more information at the link.

=== Canonical’s Private Ubuntu Cloud Strategy: Partners Welcome? ===

The VAR Guy, posting at Works With U, notes with interest that Canonical 
has launched the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Services.  However, he feels 
that there is something lacking - the independent software vendors 
(ISVs). It is his opinion that customers don't buy cloud operating 
systems. They embrace cloud services to host specific applications 
(storage, backup/recovery, database, ERP, email, etc.).  Canonical needs 
to promote reliable ISV software stacks for Ubuntu in the cloud. 
According to The VAR Guy, "in order to get the word out faster, 
Canonical needs partners."

=== Five Questions for Dell’s Ubuntu Linux Team ===

Joe Panettieri, at Works With U, is intending to meet with Dell's Ubuntu 
team members and has posted five questions that he would like to ask 
them. He also invites readers to add questions by emailing him or 
posting them as comments to his article.  It's his intent to create an 
interview that examines Dell's Ubuntu Linux strategy.

=== Three’s Company: Oracle, Ubuntu and OpenOffice ===

The VAR Guy, from Works With U, notes that Matt Asay from CNet had 
opined that Canonical needed enterprise software partners like Oracle to 
help with it's move into servers.  The VAR Guy adds one more element 
into the mix:  OpenOffice.org. It's his opinion that Oracle and 
Canonical could use OpenOffice.org to accelerate Ubuntu's desktop 
momentum, and that this would help the momentum on the server side.

=== Beyond Ubuntu: Canonical Pursues New Revenue Streams ===

http://www.workswithu.com/2009/07/02/beyond-ubuntu-canonical-diversifies-its-revenue-streams/

=== Ubuntu heads to the clouds ===

On July 1, Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu in partnership with 
Eucalyptus Systems, an open-source cloud infrastructure firm, launched 
Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Services. According to sources at Canonical, 
Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Services "is a set of new professional services 
to help and support users building 'private clouds', that is cloud 
infrastructures behind a corporate firewall." The idea, as it always is 
with cloud computing is to save organizations money by optimizing server 
use, while lowering costs and providing end users with self-service IT. 
With Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Services, Canonical will help businesses 
build private clouds. In a statement, Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical's CEO 
said, "Enterprises are realizing that building 'private clouds' enables 
them to better manage variable workloads, while reducing the waste of 
idle servers. Building on an open-source technology also avoids the 
issue of vendor lock-in. Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud enables businesses to 
do this--and the addition of these services helps them to do it with 
confidence." Once more Canonical is showing that, while its reputation 
is based on Ubuntu, the popular end-user desktop Linux distribution, the 
company has every intention of competiting with Red Hat and Novell for 
the business server market.

=== Powerpets, Inc. Head Offices Switch to Ubuntu ===

An unsolicited email to the Ubuntu News Team mailing list from 
Powerpets, Inc. gives us some insight into one companies "Ubuntu Success 
Story":

In 2002, a small Canadian company was started based on a small idea and 
big dreams to create an entertaining virtual world with many educational 
aspects and a company goal to support and spread awareness of abused and 
abandoned animals.

Less than half a year into the project, powerpets.com was experiencing 
explosive growth and an explosive amount of problems, mainly e-mail 
based viruses. We would be affected by the next big threat, weeks before 
large AV companies such as McAfee would have a fix for it. More time was 
spent fixing our Windows based office computers than what was spent 
working on our business.

A switch to Linux was made, with quite a few hurdles, but it was nice to 
know once a system was set up, you wouldn't have to worry about it. You 
wouldn't even need to restart it. Unfortunately last year, our *flavor* 
of Linux that was chosen for the
office sold out to another company who pretty much abandoned the OS.

Much research went into selecting a new Linux OS that will carry us 
through the next decade without headaches or an overload of IT expenses. 
Ubuntu quickly caught our attention. We actually waited for about a 
month because we could not find an option to purchase one copy of the 
Ubuntu OS and felt uncomfortable requesting a free CD. Due to our 
satellite Internet, we were unable to download the OS.

A few weeks later, our CD arrived in the mail. At the time we were 
involved in several large projects and were unable to perform any 
installations. It wasn't until June, when an old test laptop was loaded 
with Ubuntu. The installation went quick and without a hitch, despite 
hardware being well outdated. The past few days, the remainder of our 
office went through the overhaul and in a matter of hours we were using 
Ubuntu. Some changes were hard to get used to, such as the SAMBA shares, 
but overall everything was a success.

We're very happy with our Ubuntu solution, and we hope to see the number 
of Ubuntu system builders grow - after all, one Ubuntu system builder to 
serve over 300 million people in North America may not be sufficient.

Many thanks for the CD and the great experience
