=== Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week: Call For Participation! ===
In the continued interests of helping to make Ubuntu rock as a platform
for scratching itches and making awesome apps, Jono Bacon is putting
together a new online learning event: Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer
Week, happening online between 1st – 6th March 2010.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpportunisticDeveloperWeek
The week will be just like the previous online learning events such as
Ubuntu Developer Week and Ubuntu Open Week, but instead providing a week
jam packed with awesome sessions about writing applications that scratch
your itch, and predominantly focusing on Python tools and frameworks,
Bazaar, Launchpad and infrastructure. The goal for the week is give
attendees a head start on a given technology useful for applications.
Jono is looking for volunteers. If you feel you could give a tutorial
about a given Python module or associated technology (e.g. Glade,
Launchpad, Bazaar etc), please drop him an email at jono AT ubuntu DOT
com and he will liaise with you to get it scheduled. Jono is also look
for some showcase sessions: stories about how you put together an
application, how it scratched your itch and what tools you used.

=== Interview With Jono by Joe Barker ===
Joe Barker recently interview Canonical's community manager Jono Bacon.
If you've been active in the Ubuntu community, you'll know who Jono is,
but if you don't, here's your chance to get to know him on a more
personal basis. The following are the questions Jono responded to. You
can find his answers at the link that follows. Be sure to take a few
minutes to read the entire interview.
* Tell as much as you’re willing about your “real life” like name, age,
gender, location, family, religion, profession, education, hobbies, etc.
* When and how did you become interested in computers? in Linux? in Ubuntu?
* When did you become involved in the forums (or the Ubuntu community)?
What’s your role there?
* Are you an Ubuntu member? If so, how do you contribute? If not, do you
plan on becoming one?
* What distros do you regularly use? What software? What’s your favorite
application? Your least favorite?
* What’s your fondest memory from the forums, or from Ubuntu overall?
What’s your worst?
* What luck have you had introducing new computer users to Ubuntu?
* What would you like to see happen with Linux in the future? with Ubuntu?
* If there was one thing you could tell all new Ubuntu users, what would
it be?

=== Interview with Dustin Kirkland, Ubuntu Core Developer about
encryption in Ubuntu ===
Dustin Kirkland is an Ubuntu Core Developer, working for Canonical on
the Ubuntu Server. His current focus is developing the Ubuntu Enterprise
Cloud for the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS release, but previously he had worked on
a number of Ubuntu features and packages, including Ubuntu's Encrypted
Home Directories. He is also the upstream maintainer of eCryptfs, the
cryptographic filesystem used to provide Encrypted Home Directories.
Those are fair enough reasons to ask him a couple of questions. If
you're wanting to learn more about encryption and the thought processes
behind it, this is a great read. See the entire interview at the link below.

== LoCo News ==
=== Upcoming Ubuntu Global Jam and your Loco Team ===
The dates for the Global Jam for this cycle are the 26th through the
28th of March 2010. We are hoping to make this Global Jam extremely
successful, and we need your help in doing it. We want to have events in
as many places as possible, not only to help improve Ubuntu, but also to
help promote it. The Ubuntu Global Jam is an online and in person event
that takes place all across the world. People get together with the
interest of making Ubuntu better, while having a good time socializing
with other people in your area who have the same interest and passion
about Ubuntu as you do.
What can your LoCo do? The Ubuntu Global Jam has many different events
that for users to participate in, just pick one that you and your team
like, and make it happen. You can pick from one or more of the following
events:
* Bug Jam – During a bug jam users would work on finding, triaging and
fixing bugs.
* Testing Jam – Lucid is due out the end of April and we need help
testing it out prior to its release.
* Upgrade Jam – Upgrade systems that are currently running older
versions of Ubuntu and report your experience.
* Documentation Jam – Write documentation about using Ubuntu, or joining
the Ubuntu community, or work on making the existing documentation better.
* Translations Jam – Help to make Ubuntu available to everyone. Help
translate Ubuntu into your language.
* Packaging Jam – Help out with improving packages in Ubuntu.
* Other – If your team has some other aspect of helping out the Ubuntu
Community, feel free to participate in that for the Global Jam.
If you have never run a Global Jam event before, or if you have, but
would like some fresh ideas, we have three training sessions scheduled
between now and the kick off of the Global Jam. The training sessions
will be hosted by Jorge Castro and will be held in #ubuntu-locoteams on
freenode. The training sessions will take place on:
* 17 February 2010 at 18:00 UTC
* 26 February 2010 at 21:00 UTC
* 10 March 2010 at 21:00 UTC
All three training sessions will contain tips, tricks, pointers and
advice on how to run a Jam. You can also find out more information at
the Running An Event page on the Ubuntu Wiki. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jams
You can also find out what other LoCo teams have done in the past for
Global Jam by visiting this wiki page:

=== Ubuntu Honduras Loco Team at the T3 conference ===
What is T3? It is an event organized by the EIS School in the city of
San Pedro Sula. More than 37 teachers and principals will be on hand for
this event. It was a great opportunity to show them about the open
source world and about Ubuntu linux. The team was given 2 hours for our
presentation. The first hour covered what is open source, GNU/Linux and
Ubuntu. The second hour was a workshop so teachers can get familiar with
Ubuntu.

=== Jono Bacon: Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week Update ===
Earlier this week I announced the plan to put together Ubuntu
Opportunistic Developer Week: a week of IRC tuition sessions aimed at
helping opportunistic developers scratch their itches and write fun and
useful programs using our awesome platform. The week takes place from
1st – 6th March 2010.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpportunisticDeveloperWeek
The response so far to the call for sessions has been fantastic, and we
already have many sessions scheduled, all visible from the timetable
here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpportunisticDeveloperWeek
Each of these sessions is designed to give you a taste of the topic and
get you up and running, enough to be productive and start exploring the
features of the tool being discussed. In addition to this we will have a
series of showcase sessions:
* SHOWCASE: Gwibber – Ken VanDine
* SHOWCASE: Lernid – Jono Bacon
* SHOWCASE: Photobomb – Rick Spencer
These sessions explain the story behind the app: talking about which
tools, modules and technology that was used to put these apps together
and what challenges were solved. This is a great way to learn more about
tools available for opportunistic developers so that when you need to do
something, you know which tool to reach out for.
Many of you will be entirely new to Python and entirely new to coding.
To give you folks a head start before the week kicks off, Rick Spencer
from the desktop team will be running some beginners Python tuition
sessions on the Thursday before Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week:
* Thu 25th Feb 2010 – 15.00 UTC – Ubuntu Opp Dev Week Prep: Intro to
Python for total beginners – Rick Spencer
* Thu 25th Feb 2010 – 16.00 UTC – Ubuntu Opp Dev Week Prep: Intro to
Python for programmers – Rick Spencer
We are still looking for sessions, and if you want to contribute and
give one, just drop me an email at jono AT ubuntu DOT com.

=== David Planella: Call for feedback on preferred desktop fonts ===
While trying to offer a better experience for users in all languages and
trying to balance that with features, we are faced with the fact that
the space on the Live CD is limited. Fonts in particular take a lot of
space, and we’d like to reduce that to the minimum necessary in order to
have a reduced set to correctly display all languages. These will then
be collected in an ‘ubuntu-desktop-fonts‘ package.
This will only be for the Live CD. In an installation with network
connectivity all required font packages, writing aids, etc. will be
downloaded and installed as usual. This will also not yet solve the
issue whereby only a few languages are included on the CD, but will free
some more space on it and avoid duplication.
Arne Götje has started a wiki page to collect feedback on this, and I’d
like to ask you to add the information for your particular
language/script combination and complete the tables at:
* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/PreferredFonts
Here’s how you can do it:
* Look for your language/script on the list. If it does not fall in any
of the existing categories, you can just add it
* If the current font for basic display of messages is correct, simply
add an “OK” note to the Remarks column.
* If not, please suggest a better font (a maximum of two, in order of
preference) and add a note on the Remarks column as well
* That’s it! If you’ve got any questions, feel free to ask them to the
translations team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/Contact/

=== Dell dropping its Ubuntu offerings? ===
Christina Tynan-Wood of Info World comments that purchasing a
preinstalled Linux system may have gotten a little harder, as one Gripe
Line reader and loyal Dell customer recently found out. "I've always
supported Dell and enjoyed the availability of the company's Linux
systems," writes Cal. "But I was recently appalled when a Dell sales rep
hung up on me when I tried to order some Linux systems for my business.
The Dell rep made it clear that unless I wanted Windows, Dell didn't
want my money." Could this be so? Christina headed to Dell.com to find
out, and she browsed to the Business section and ticked the FreeDOS and
Linux button to filter out all but open source systems. The site
returned only a handful of laptops and no desktops, so she called the
sales line to see whether they could set her up. Christina contacted
Dell representative Anne Camden who told her, "I suspect that what is
going on here is that we recently refreshed most of our consumer desktop
portfolio, and unfortunately the Linux model is lagging and is not
currently available," she says. "We will offer Ubuntu pre-installed
again in the future, but it will not be for several weeks."

=== Ubuntu 9.10 and GNOME 2.28: Advancing Past Meh ===
LinuxPlanet's Carla Schroder says that many eons ago, GNOME 1.4 still
lived, and it was good. Fast-forward eight years to Ubuntu 9.10, and in
Schroder's opinion this is the first *buntu and the first GNOME that
have gotten past "meh" on her WowMeter. After a week of running Ubuntu
9.10 Schroder says she is dangerously close to being impressed. Carla
thinks the most important test of a distribution is how it performs over
time. Does it improve? Do bugs get fixed? Does it handle changes
competently? Will it upgrade gracefully to a new release? This is on her
audio production computer, so Schroder says it's going to get a serious
workout. Carla says that there is one comparison that she cannot resist
making: the default installation from the LiveCD uses about 2.8GB of
hard disk space, and in that 2.8GB you get a wealth of applications.
Windows 7 clocks in at over 12GB, and what do you get? Um, Notepad?

=== Univ. of Arizona student builds Ubuntu-Atom powered spider-bot ===
Matt Bunting, a electrical engineering student at the University of
Arizona, has been attracting some attention with his latest creation: a
six-legged robot that he built for a class on cognitive robotics. The
spider-bot, or hexapod as it is more properly known, is powered by a
fairly low-cost, off-the-shelf 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, running on a
US15W chipset. The software runs off of a Ubuntu Linux OS. The most
significant feature that Matt's yet-unnamed robot creation has is an
adaptive capacity to walk. Matt's prof was impressed with his work: "I
see that this device might be doing scientific work like autonomous
navigation, mapping of different environments, moving over rough terrain
and doing exploration, possibly planetary exploration...I think Matt's
robot has a lot of possibilities. It's really not so far-fetched that a
robot like this could go to Mars." Even folks at Intel heard of Matt's
robot. And after a seeing video of it in action, they decided to order
two from him to use as promotional robots for the Atom processor. See
the video of Matt's creation at the link below.

=== AbiWord & Gnumeric To Replace OpenOffice in Ubuntu Netbook Edition ===
On February 8, 2010, OMG!Ubuntu shares with readers the decision to drop
OpenOffice.org suite of applications from the default install of Ubuntu
10.04 Netbook Edition. According to the article and statement from
Ubuntu developer, Rick Spencer, "I think we should try GNUMeric and
abiword by default, and then those who want OOo apps can install just
the ones they need later." The article also points out that most people
agree OpenOffice.org was overkill on small, underpowered netbooks.

=== It's Not The Hokey Cokey; OpenOffice BACK In Ubuntu Netbook Edition
After User Outcry ===
On February 11, 2010, OMG!Ubuntu reports on that because of the
community response to OpenOffice being dropped from Ubuntu Netbook
Edition of Ubuntu 10.04, the early decision now has developers
rethinking their decision. In this February 11 article, OMG!Ubuntu let's
readers know that the decision to use AbiWord and GNUMeric has been
fully reversed and OpenOffice will be installed by default. Here is what
Ubuntu developer, Rick Spencer has to say about the reversal. "All in
all it seems that users and community members would really prefer that
we ship OOo for the editing suite. We discussed a bit in #ubuntu-desktop
this morning and decided that we should probably switch back to OOo,
which we will do on Monday if we don't hear anything that makes us
change our minds again."

=== Canonical’s Latest Ubuntu Developer Pitch ===
Joe Panettieri, WorksWithU, discusses Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer
Week, which is scheduled for March 1-6, 2010. Panettieri notes,
"Canonical is making multiple moves to engage and energize Ubuntu
software developers." Panettieri notes that there are two moves worth
watching, "Canonical has made multiple moves to strengthen the Ubuntu
ISV story. Incoming COO Matt Asay arrives with a big Rolodex filled with
ISV contacts and boardroom relationships." and "Jono Bacon, Canonical’s
Ubuntu Community Manager, is preparing an online learning event called
Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week." Panettieri states that,
"WorksWithU will closely watch the Ubuntu Opportunistic Developer Week
for more potential signs of progress."
