=== Ubuntu 12.04 Development Update ===

The Developer News team writes about the transition of Ubuntu 12.04
from Alpha Testing into the first phase of Beta Testing. Nicholas
Skaggs has a number of items you can help out with by simply doing a
bit of testing.

Also covered are some reoccurring events (including the new Fix-it
Friday) and an interview with community member Benjamin Kerensa who
has recently begun to get involved with development.

The post wraps up with a list of outstanding tasks which need to be
completed, several ideas for getting involved, how to find something
to work on and getting in touch with Ubuntu developers.

artist contribute to the Ubuntu Community by producing Forum Avatars
for the Ubuntu Global Jam and several new art resources for the New
York Loco Team. "Beautiful!! The team now has a much improved logo to
use with print media as well as properly sized logos for Launchpad,
the loco portal, and our wiki page."

=== Ubuntu Global Jam Italy (Pistoia): a quick review ===

Andrea Grandi shares with us an Ubuntu Global Jam event that was held
in the city of Pistoia, Italy.  There were 15 participants (with
several more participating via IRC) with the main focus areas being
translations (from English to Italian) as well as learning to
implement automatic tests.  The day was rounded up with a tour of the
city and a great time was had by all.

participants.

== In The Press ==

=== Ubuntu's Bold Mobile Gambit ===

Katherine Noyes of LinuxInsider writes about Ubuntu for Android and
how it "became clear that the news had struck some kind of chord with
observers far and wide, prompting nothing less than a large-scale
reconsideration of the current state of computing." Some of the
responses were positive towards Canonical and Ubuntu while others just
saw this as another attempt to stop Canonical from hemorrhaging money.

=== Ubuntu 12.04 hits beta, brings smooth Unity for marching masses ===

The Register reports on the first beta of the upcoming 12.04 LTS
release on Thursday. Among many new features and a much more stable
version of Unity, they report that this version looks to have a
renewed focus for business with a longer support period and a Business
Remix.

== In The Blogosphere ==

=== Ubuntu for Android Gets Shown Off At Mobile World Congress ===

Joey Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! reports on AndroidCentral's  Phil
Nickinson's comments from one of the premier events for mobile
devices, Mobile World Congress (MWC). This year it was held in
Barcelona and Ubuntu for Android was strutting its stuff. Sneddon was
impressed and excited to the point of "want now" but reports that
"exact details remain scant on the ground as to when you can expect to
get your hands on it."

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/ubuntu-for-android-gets-shown-off-at-world-mobile-congress/

=== Paul Wise: Debian/Ubuntu games screenshot party results ===

The Debian/Ubuntu games team recently organised a half-day screenshots
party for creating screenshots for all the games that are available in
Debian/Ubuntu. "Over the 7 hours of the party, they uploaded 100
screenshots for 40 different packages. Of the packages, 2 are
available only in Debian (auralquiz, cutechess), one is available only
in Ubuntu (plasma-widget-tictactoe) and the rest are available in
both. "I think we got quite a bit done for such a small group."

=== Powerful 'Cotton Candy' Linux PC goes on sale ===

John E Dunn of TechWorld writes about 'Cotton Candy' a powerful tiny
computer that can run either Ubuntu or Android 4.0. "The $199 (APS139)
computer's small size - it is enclosed within a USB stick case -
belies its power. Underneath lies a custom design comprising a 1.2 GHz
dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor with 1GB or RAM, supporting for up
to 64GB of microSD storage." Dunn goes on to say, "Despite being
commercial, Cotton Candy is not a huge distance away from the
philosophy of the UK's Raspberry Pi project."
