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 […]

Xubuntu Website Sprint on Saturday November 19th at 22:00 UTC
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 […]

The release of Ubuntu 11.10, Oneiric Ocelot just went live! Ocelot at the Phoenix Zoo, September 2011 I had the honor of posting the release announcement for Xubuntu.org just moments ago.

Xubuntu Artwork
July 20th, 2010 by pleia2
Some love Gnome, others love KDE, for me it’s XFCE all the way. When I jumped on the Ubuntu bandwagon several years ago it was only natural that I’d use Xubuntu. Isn’t it lovely? Now, I am completely useless when it comes to artwork[0], so I will once again stand on the shoulders of artistic […]
Xubuntu Edgy
November 12th, 2006 by pleia2
I installed Xubuntu Edgy on my primary desktop today, replacing Debian Testing. I was quite stubborn about this change, always finding some excuse to stick with Debian, but ultimately I just got to the point where the pros of switching to Ubuntu outweighted the cons. Plus I wanted to check out Thunar! After years of […]
