Re: [Ubuntu-ch] 18.04 release party, other meetups?
Folks, there was a question on the list about qualification criteria.
Would please someone comment on this? Is more than one local contact
required?

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] 18.04 release party, other meetups?
Hello Philipp
I remember the event. And lots of further contributions by puzzle which
I highly estimate. Thank you very much.
Thanks also for this offer. And the idea about involving corporates to
the event.
Since we recognize that GNU/Linux is on most mobile phones (not at its
best), as basement of the internet, as underlying system of more than
80% of all web presence, in the cloud, even on Azure - we should
continue to make end users aware of the beauty, of freedom, of
independence, of choice when it comes to desktop and laptop use.
And - as you mentioned below - we may invite and address developers.
There are so many tools, debuggers, development environments - free of
charge, free of registration, available at some fingertips.
Please schedule - tentatively - the 26th of january at your site. We'll
keep you informed.

Hi all,
Puzzle ITC https://www.puzzle.ch is interested in hosting a Release
Party in Bern and helping with the organisation. We would also offer
some snacks and beer.
The release day, April 26 is a Thursday and would be suitable for a party.
10 Years ago we hosted a Ubuntu Release Party:

I would to invite some other corporate users of Ubuntu to the event.
This could help to revive the community with professional users.
Perhaps the focus could extend/shift to the usage of Ubuntu as a
development environment and server OS in IT.
We could also meet on January 26 in Bern at our location.

Friday, the 19th of January would not be possible for me. The
others should work.
Zurich would be easier for me but I can make Bern work as well.
I could join if it's in Zurich and also offer hosting.

[Ubuntu-ch] Fwd: Re: Legal Status questions
Hello all / Grüezi mitenand (Übersetzung unten) EN: as noted in the posting [1], the topic keeps popping up from time to time. Here we are. Again. I'm now very serious about strengthening our community in Switzerland by acquiring a legal status, by having a banking account for the community and by establishing representative contacts to 'world'. Recently, several people have asked for another effort and as I agreed, you find here the refresh of the original request. Please note some explanations: - there is some money gathered through SwissRemix activities which belong to the community (300 CHF) - in case we decide to continue the work for another SwissRemix, it looks as if we have to handle any upcoming activities by ourselves, including fundraising and financials. Currently, there is no support of any other swiss organization for this project. - there is a real chance of acquiring more funds in order to support activities by the swiss loco team (I wish we had access to a lot of merchandising stuff ...) - we might decide to organize a larger event 'open for the public' (Release Party, other) in autumn 2011 which would demand sufficient base and clear responsibilities. - Canonical is about strengthening it's presence and activities in the german speaking countries, there are new partnership models coming along and we have established contact with some representatives. Although focus is on business relationships, I keep emphasizing the importance of the community and accompagning chances to have joint activities. - we've observed different movements and engagements for Ubuntu which should be coordinated Some of us will meet at the Global Jam Event in Zurich. This would be a good occasion to discuss this further. People interested would please raise their hands. Just follow the discussion on the list to stay informed about this activity. Kind regards, dsto *** DE: wie bereits im Kommentar [1] vermerkt: Das Thema poppt immer wieder auf. So auch jetzt. Ich halte es wirklich für nötig, unsere Community in der Schweiz zu stärken. Sie soll einen rechtlichen Status erhalten, die Führung eines Bankkontos ermöglichen und klar die verantwortlichen Menschen gegenüber der Aussenwelt bezeichnen. Verschiedene Mitglieder und Beobachter haben diesbezüglich schon Initiative ergriffen und so findet Ihr hiermit den aufgewärmten Vorstoss. Dazu: - aus den Aktivitäten von SwissRemix gibt es Cash, welcher der Community gehört (etwas über 300 CHF) - falls wir die Aktivitäten SwissRemix weiterführen möchten, so scheint es, dass wir auf uns selbst gestellt sind, auch was die Finanzierung und Abwicklung des Projekts betrifft. Derzeit erhalten wir von keiner Schweizer Organisation irgendwelchen Support. - Wir glauben, dass wir mit einem Verein Aussicht auf Unterstützung unserer übrigen Aktivitäten erhalten können (gerne hätte ich z.B. Zugriff auf tolles Merchandising Material ...) - Wir könnten 'etwas grösseres' Stemmen, z.B. einen netten Event im Herbst für ein grösseres Publikum (Release Party, sonst was) - das erfordert aber auch eine solide Basis und klare Verantwortlichkeiten. - Canonical ist gerade dran, Boden in den Ländern gut zu machen. Es gibt neue Partnerschaftsmodelle und wir sind mit zuständigen Leuten in Kontakt. Fokus ist schon auf der Business Seite, wir betonen aber jeweils die Bedeutung der Community Arbeit im Land und die Möglichkeiten. Es besteht also Aussicht, die Zusammenarbeit zu institutionalisieren. - auch gibt es verschiedene Initiativen und Bewegungen zur Unterstützung von Ubuntu - wir sollten diese koordinieren.

[Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu in the News
Hello all you might want to have a look at today's press. WOZ has published a full one-pager about Open Source in Switzerland and Ubuntu. During their investigations, they have contacted Markus, Myriam and me. Link to the article: http://www.woz.ch/artikel/2010/nr02/wirtschaft/18808.html (in german) I explained and shared a lot of information - and there was not enough room for everything ;-) So I decided to publish some additional insight and some of my lessons learned: http://www.stoni.ch/cms/de/node/92 (also in german, I'm afraid) I want to emphasize the importance of media relations for us. People are so much influenced by advertisements and marketing campaigns of the shiny world 'there', that they easily miss the value of a full featured and fully legal open source software system - be it Ubuntu or something comparable. As a matter of fact, we don't have the power to compete with commercial giants. We neither have ambitions towards that direction because it's our believe that people should have the freedom of choice. But in order to reach the end user, we have to make use of the options to spread our message in an efficient way.

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Problems with USB-Sticks and Swiss Remix
Hello Theo dear colleagues I did some further investigations in order to respond to your inquiry and due personal interest - you might remember the discussion at the event OSS an Schulen and the concepts architectures sketched. The Ubuntu installed on a stick 'somewhere' (very old PC) could easily be used when attached to various systems (very modern Laptops, for example). Sound, compositing effects, WLAN do work right away. BUT: on all systems tested, performance compared to booting from internal harddisks is considerably degraded. You should carefully study data transfer rates of the stick in use as this becomes crucial. Due to these base conditions you might also question the solution proposed to your friend - is it worth to waste about 30-50% of a machine's performance for the sake of the mobile-system-on-a-stick? What about having only /home/user on the stick? Regards, Daniel Stoni schrieb: Hi Theo, please find some comments below. Theo Schmidt schrieb: Wolf Geldmacher schrieb: Hi Theo, I'd like to second Dani's suggestion to do a plain install instead. I've just done a plain install of Swiss-Remix 9.04 treating the (8GB) USB Stick like a hard drive attached to USB. This works and results in a system that is faster and also updatabe/patchable with a lot less waste of space: the r/w live-system I previously had on the same stick (and for me the supplied USB install on the Swiss-Remix DVD just worked) could not be brought to the current patch level - it ran out of space way before finishing. One additional remark - when doing it this way make sure that the root FS is mounted with the relatime or noatime option in /etc/fstab - otherwise you might find that you are wearing the memory stick too fast. Hi Wolf and Dani, Thank you for your suggestions. I've now tried hard (about ten times) to do a plain install, using two different computers and two different Swiss-Remix 9.04 DVDs. Unfortunately I've not been able to. At first the installer kept complaining about not being able create file systems. After using gparted manually, it became possible, but the installer broke off half way claiming copying errors, leaving half a system on the stick. After that, no amount of reformatting could induce the installer to regain its former behaviour. Much of the problem seems to be that Ubuntu seems to automatically mount the partitions on the USB-stick and can't unmount them (or keeps remounting them). On one of the rare occasions where it worked the installation wnet about halfway and ubibiquity quit with an unspecified error. With my hardware, it seems impossible to install Swiss Remix onto a stick without resorting to command-line methods or third-party tools. In practise one must understand that there are different ways how usb sticks are driven by the BIOS. There is not the level of reliability comparable to usb disks. The combination of PC and stick does matter. Occasionally, sticks are recognized as CDROMs instead of as harddisks. It can depend also on the way how they the sticks are partitioned. Then I've heard of suspend/resume not working. From own testing - with original 9.04 - I can confirm that installation from CD onto the stick seems shaky (on a 4 year old PC) and, interesting, very time consuming. Another observation: I've you don't take care and click the erweitert button near the end of the installer wizard, it will put the boot-loader on your hard disk instead of the USB-stick. Obvious. A question: Even if I had been successful, would the plain install on a stick have been any use for sending on to my brother-in-law for use on an entirely different computer than the one which installed the system? Presumably plain installations transfer some hardware information to the system. This was the reason I wanted a frugal install, which does the hardware detection with each boot. OSes have much developed since. One remaining area of concern is /etc/X11/xorg.conf - in case you find one on the stick you might want to remove it in order to force video detection. Other recent hardware - sound or networking equipment in particular - is recognized during boot process and very few specific settings are made during installation. In short: The chances are good to find this working. I will do some tests on my own and collect some stories from the web. I'll let you the results.

Hello Hassan OK, thank you for the interest, feedback and offer. I'm getting in touch with Linalis in order to include their graphics. But I won't activate - SwissRemix uses standard Jaunty look feel. It was nasty work anyway to reset it after kubuntu xubuntu stuff was installed - FYI: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom has two entries to be adjusted: GraphicalTheme=Human GraphicalThemes=Human I'm quite happy with other default settings, the combination of language chooser at gfxboot and timezone preseeding allows nice defaulting of ubiquity values, saving many mouseclicks at installation time.
