Sydney Release Party is next weekend!

Hi all,

Just a reminder that there is a Sydney release party on next Saturday, 27th April at 2:00pm in Paddington. Full location and direction details are available at http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-au/2208-ubuntu-au-sydney-raring-release-gathering/

It's not a formal event as such, just a meet-up at a coffee and bookstore to chat about the release and Ubuntu itself. You don't need to add your name to attend but it would be nice to get an idea of the numbers to expect.

If you have any question or queries, just reply to the ubuntu-au mailing list or come chat to us on IRC on #ubuntu-au on freenode.

See you there,

Joel

Membership Board Re-Staffing

Good evening all,

I just wanted to drop a quick (belated) note to let you know the Ubuntu Membership Boards are looking for some new members. 

If you've been involved in Ubuntu teams for a little while it might be worth checking out. It requires only a little allocation of time but is a very personally rewarding team to be a part of. For all the details check out the news post on it - http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/03/22/ubuntu-membership-board-call-for-nominations/

I'm currently a sitting member myself so if you have any questions feel free to ask, I know there are a few former members floating around as well.

Re: PDF printing problem

In a previous posting I mentioned my problem with printing PDFs and some
other documents where some of the page is cut off.
I came up with a complicated answer but the best answer is much simpler:
For example if the page size is A4 select paper 'A4 borderless 297x 210'
rather than 'A4'. 
Problem solved. In hindsight it's obvious isn't it?

Arduino loading problem

I am trying to load a program into an Arduino UNO microprocessor. The
program is a AZ-EL rotator controller. It has been successfully uploaded
by others using the Ardunio IDE for Windows. I am using the IDE
downloaded (from the Ubuntu software centre) to Ubuntu 12.10LTS, my
current system. I began using the port USBo which I think is the correct
one for serial transfer. The IDE window is now listing USB1. After
compiling this message is received:
"avrdude: stk500-recv(): programmer is not responding"
Could someone tell what initial part of this message might mean.
By the way I can say that the program has not uploaded because the new
Arduino UNO came with a LED blinking program on it and this continues to
run.
Thanks,
Geoffrey

Sydney Release Party - April 2013

Hi all,


Coinciding with the release of Ubuntu 13.04, I'm created an event at http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-au/2208/detail/. The release party is scheduled for Saturday, 27th April 2013 at 2pm local Sydney time at the Ampersand Cafe and Book Store in Paddington.

This is the Saturday after the release of Ubuntu 13.04, Raring Ringtail. This could possibly be the last proper release of Ubuntu, due to the chance of changing to a rolling release, along with the usual two-year LTS release.

You can register your attendance, or join us on IRC at #ubuntu-au for any questions.

Linux Tablet

Is it true that an operating system by Canonical or another is available
for someone to produce a tablet comparable with others on the market?
If so how soon should be reasonably expect one to appear?
Presently I own neither a tablet nor a mobile phone. I'm not in a hurry
to buy such time-wasting toys but I guess I must soon. Should I buy a
tablet (say, rather than a notebook) for portable use I would prefer
that it has a Linux operating system.
By the way I am an engineer and a licensed radio amateur (time-wasting,
yes, but also a thinking hobby) so I am not averse to wireless
communication.
Your views would be of interest to me.

Fwd: Ubuntu Developer Summits Now Online and Every Three Months

Good morning all,

I just saw this announcement come through and I've already seen a lot of discussion amongst other Ubuntu people I interact with so thought you might all be interested as well.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Jono Bacon <jono-GeWIH/nMZzLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>

Subject: Ubuntu Developer Summits Now Online and Every Three Months
To: community-announce <at> lists.ubuntu.com


Hi All,

From the beginning of the Ubuntu project the Ubuntu community has discussed, designed, and planned each release of Ubuntu at the <a href="http://uds.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu Developer Summit</a> (UDS), which happens every six months at the beginning of a new release cycle.

The event, organized and funded by Canonical, is designed to get the brightest minds in the Ubuntu community together and develop a rigorous set of blueprints and work items for the forthcoming release of Ubuntu. These blueprints are tracked openly in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ and work items tracked openly at http://status.ubuntu.com.

UDS has had a long culture of openness and transparency, including remote participation features, but Canonical wants to continue improving and refining the openness and accessibility of the event. Furthermore, we also want to open the opportunity for those to participate who cannot travel physically to the event, particularly those who can bring specialist experience and expertise across the convergent goals of Ubuntu across the client and cloud orchestration in the server. Finally with the change and evolution of Ubuntu and the increasing diversity of experience joining the Ubuntu community, we want to be able to have community-wide discussions more often than every six months.

With these goals in mind the Ubuntu Developer Summit is transitioning over to an online event that takes place for two days every three months, and driven by live video discussion sessions, complete with integrated discussion, note-taking, and harnessing social media. This online event will replace future physical UDSs, including the event originally planned in Oakland, California in May 2013.

In the new online format the event will make extensive use of Google+ Hangouts On Air split across four channels, Client, Server & Cloud, Community, and App Developers, with each channel having two video streams totalling 8 potential concurrent UDS topics. UDS sessions will be spread across these channels with integrated IRC, Etherpad, Social Media sharing, and links to blueprints and specs.

As with the physical UDS, the event will also include keynotes, plenary sessions and lightning talks; providing a great online venue for planning the future of Ubuntu as well as delivering news, education, demos and other related material. As with the physical UDS, the new online format is open to all to participate as a contributor or viewer, and we are confident that the online format will open up UDS to more and more people around the world.

The new format of UDS provides an enhanced level of openness and transparency that is optimized for online participants. Unlike the physical UDS where a portion of the agenda is recorded in video form, *every* session in the new UDS format will be recorded and available from the schedule. Likewise, with the format of the event being online, the audio and video quality of the online experience should be much improved compared to recording a physical room of people with a single microphone and camera and variable sound levels. The full set of recordings will also make reviewing past sessions easier and make it easier for the press, enthusiasts, partners and others to review the details of the discussions.

The event will continue to be scheduled at http://summit.ubuntu.com and due to the lighter nature of organizing an online event as opposed to a physical event, the new UDS format will be scheduled approximately every three months (as opposed to every six months). This will provide an increased level of participation and discussion around how we create and build Ubuntu across the desktop, devices and cloud.

With the fantastic level of interest in the recent phone and tablet announcements, we decided that we couldn’t wait until May to run this new format for UDS, so the first online UDS will be taking place next week from 5th - 6th March 2013 from 4pm UTC - 10pm UTC and the next event will take place around the same time as the originally scheduled physical UDS in Oakland; we will confirm the dates soon. Canonical will review the success of the next two online events and then then assess whether to continue the online format. We look forward to seeing you at the inaugural online UDS next week!

Thanks!

   Jono
