=== Ubuntu Core On The Nexus 7 ===
Jono Bacon writes about plans for the Ubuntu core on Nexus 7 project.
Bacon pointed out very clearly: "This is not going to be a tablet
Unity interface running on the 8/16GB Nexus 7, but instead will focus
on getting the current Ubuntu Desktop running on the Nexus so that we
can ensure pieces such as the kernel, power management and other
related areas are working effectively on a tablet device."
Along with the project description, Bacon provides information for
potential project contributors (testers and developers) and points out
the UDS-R session schedule for getting Ubuntu core on Nexus 7.

bi-annual Q&A with Mark Shuttleworth, where Shuttleworth admits he
"really screwed up" an announcement on community-developer changes in

=== Samsung's ARM-powered Chromebook runs Ubuntu ===
Trent Nouveau of TG Daily shares how Olof Johansson managed to load up
Ubuntu on a $249 laptop before Samsung's Chromebook has been
officially shipped. Nouveau highlights that person "doesn't have to
replace Chrome as an OS to run Ubuntu, but rather, the Linux variant
can be written to an SD card, while the Chromebook is booted from a
removable storage card." Still, there is a caution from Johansson that
if a person doesn't know what is she doing it is better to wait for
refined instructions.

=== Ubuntu 12.10: Windows 8 for the open source crowd? ===
John Breeden II of GCN highlights changes to desktop, server and cloud
in Ubuntu 12.10. Breeden states: "I've always thought that Ubuntu was
one of the cleanest flavors of Linux, but it wasn't always the most
cutting-edge. The release of Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu Server 12.10
could change that, adding more Internet capabilities to the desktop
and more cloud optimization to the server side." Breeden then reflects
on comments from Canonical CEO Jane Silber that that the new desktop
version of Ubuntu is a good alternative to Microsoft Windows 8.
