Stuffed animal K, L, M, N, O…
March 12th, 2011 by pleia2
Last week Mark Shuttleworth announced the next release name, Oneiric Ocelot. My first thought? How do you pronounce “oneiric”? My second thought? Thank goodness it’s an ocelot, I can find a stuffed animal ocelot! It’s on order now. I’ve been supplementing Ubuntu booth displays with the release animals since Karmic when I discovered that I […]

Thinking About Ubuntu Developer Summit Attendance and Sponsorship?
February 23rd, 2011 by pleia2
I have to admit, when I attended my first UDS (for Lucid in November 2009) I wasn’t sure what to expect session and format-wise. How would sessions be organized?

On Thursday I wrapped up work and MJ and I headed down to Palo Alto for an Ubuntu Hour at Antonio’s Nut House. It ended up being a great venue for the meeting, we got a booth right near the door, it was relatively quiet, the food was good and we had plenty of space […]

December 21st, 2010 by pleia2
Over the past few weeks I’ve been working with James Tatum to launch a website for Ubuntu California at ubuntu-california.org. This is a project which has been discussed several times over the years: Does the team need a site? What would it contain? Where would it be hosted? Who would be responsible for it? In […]
