I was really happy to have server folks in my audience for this talk who were eager to hear about the changes to virtualization technologies and such on the server side. I even was able to have a chat with a sysadmin who is doing a lot of virtualization and told me that her team is looking at deploying OpenStack in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>Slides from both presentations are available online, the BALUG one includes some screenshots from Xubuntu since I was using a Unity-based laptop to present there:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/presentations\/1404-whats-new-felton.pdf\">FeltonLUG: 14.04: What&#8217;s new?<\/a> (93K pdf)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/presentations\/1404-whats-new-balug.pdf\">BALUG: 14.04: What&#8217;s new?<\/a> (219K pdf)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The .odp versions of these slides are also available, just swap out .pdf for .odp in each url.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past week I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to join two separate Linux Users Groups (LUGs) to give presentations on the Ubuntu 14.04.
