At the last Ubuntu Developer Summit it was brought to the attention of the Ubuntu Community Council that lists.ubuntu.com had become quite crowded. There was concern that it was overwhelming for new contributors looking for a mailing lists to join and they may find it confusing or discouraging if they join lists which are inactive. […]

Wednesday night I held a well-attended Ubuntu Hour and Debian dinner here in San Francisco. Lots of great discussion at both meetups, huge thanks to everyone who came out! Last night I gave another (first was in September) “Introduction to Ubuntu” talk for a Linux class at ITT Tech in Oakland. After my short talk […]
Xubuntu Stickers, Twitter and Site Update
December 7th, 2011 by pleia2
Last month I took over as the Marketing and Website Lead for Xubuntu. Thanks to the rest of the team for supporting me! There have been several ideas floating around the Marketing wiki page so I decided to start here and make some laptop-worthy Xubuntu stickers. I went with Moo.com because I really liked the […]
Ubuntu Community Appreciation Day: Thank you LoCo Teams
November 20th, 2011 by pleia2
I’ve put a lot of thought into what I’d write about today, but my ideas didn’t really come together until I read Daniel Holbach’s It’s human beings who make Ubuntu! that it became clear to me what I should write about: the way LoCo teams make Ubuntu human. Prior to my involvement with Ubuntu my […]

November 17th, 2011 by pleia2
Several months ago I tossed up a devel site on one of my servers so Pasi Lallinaho and I could get to work on the newly planned Xubuntu website. He blogged about it with a teaser here back in August. It’s taken some time, but we now have a formal staging server on one of […]
UDS-P Orlando: Day 5
November 5th, 2011 by pleia2
The last day of the Ubuntu Developer Summit! This was a very good UDS for me, an excellent mix of work, socialization and rest, the last of which means that, while tired, I am not ready to go into a coma like I usually am afterwards! Plus we get an extra hour of sleep tonight, […]

Day 4! It was very obviously day 4 at UDS as everyone was moving a bit slower this morning :) – Community Roundtable – We started off the roundtable by identifying subjects for the Leadership Mini-Summit that day and then launched a big discussion about the BuildingCommunity pages.

It was a beautiful morning on this day three of UDS. – Community Roundtable – The Community Roundtable today began with discussing install parties and how we could help a representative from a LoCo team to run one in his area.

UDS-P in Orlando: Day 2
November 1st, 2011 by pleia2
The second day of UDS! – Community Roundtable – We spent this roundtable reviewing the results of the Ubuntu Community Survey (see: here). The discussion primarily centered around exploring what type of “bickering” in the community that people were experiencing and if we could address it. From there we began discussing responses to the leadership […]
UDS-P in Orlando: Day 1
October 31st, 2011 by pleia2
I actually arrived in Orlando several days ago with MJ so we could go to some Disney parks (which I’ll blog about later!) before he flew home and I went into Ubuntu Developer Summit mode. Sunday evening after visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom my uncle dropped me off at the UDS hotel and I quickly met […]
