== LoCo News ==
=== The State of the LoCo ===
Benjamin Kerensa writes about the status of LoCo teams in the United
States. He shares "troubling" quotes from some unapproved teams he
contacted to learn what has prevented them from becoming approved teams.
In order to address the issues brought up, he suggests: improved
mentoring, better engagement with unapproved LoCos, follow-ups and
health checks of LoCos who are declined approval, and a library of
resources that include a leadership document.

send each and every approved LoCo team one free copy of The Official
Ubuntu Book. To be entirely clear: this is one copy of the book per
team. This will be a great addition to each team's library of Ubuntu books!"

=== Mathieu Trudel: Bug 1010724: Why doesn't dnsmasq listen on both IPv4
and IPv6? ===
Mathieu Trudel writes about dnsmasq in Ubuntu currently only listening
on an IPv4 address, stating: "Dnsmasq currently only listens on
127.0.0.1; that's done on purpose. If the only nameserver you have is
127.0.0.1, both IPv4 and IPv6 queries will go through it. It doesn't
listen on an IPv6 address." Trudel goes on to say "Letting dnsmasq
listen on IPv6 is definitely something I wouldn't mind to see working;
but it's unfortunately not as simple as adding '--listen-address=::1' to
the parameters passed to dnsmasq by NetworkManager."
http://blog.cyphermox.net/2012/08/bug-1010724-why-doesnt-dnsmasq-listen.html

=== Jorge Castro: Easier Installation for Everyone With the Ubuntu
Button ===
Jorge Castro writes in his blog about the Ubuntu Button, stating "we
have a bunch of places where we could use this button, and it'd be easy
for people to submit edits and make each answer better and better. When
someone google's "How do I install foo on Ubuntu?" it'd be nice to see
that big honkin' button."

=== Canonical Design Team: Ubuntu Online Tour ===

innovations with HTML5 and JQuery. Dillon states: "As a member of the

== In Other News ==
=== Three Top Ubuntu Alternatives ===
Matt Harley of Datamation explores his "top 3" Ubuntu alternatives.
These are derivatives based on Ubuntu, yet having their own unique take
on the Ubuntu base. The three derivatives covered are Linux Mint, with
its simpler UI, software backup, and desktop environment. Then there's
Peppermint Linux OS which, in contrast to Linux Mint, is very
cloud-centric in its preferences in cloud software over local apps. Then
there's Pear Linux 5, which is very Apple-like in its UI and is ideal
for netbooks.

=== Ubuntu 12.10 Might Ship With Nautilus 3.4 Instead Of 3.6 ===
Andrew, WebUpd8, reports on recent comments from Sebastien Bacher,
software engineer at Canonical, that Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal might
go back to Nautilus 3.4, even though Nautilus 3.5 is already in Quantal
repositories. Furthermore Ubuntu might follow the recent forks from
Nautilus, such as Marlin or Nemo.
