Web Page Maintenance
Based on a post to the Users list, I'd like to offer my assistance in keeping the web page a little more up to date. I am on the systems team of a popular web host and and pretty good working my way around web page maintenance, and server maintenance for what its worth. Fixing the page issues would be a breeze and I'd be glad to help. -- Tim H. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Google Code-in
Hello everybody, [ I shamelessly stole parts of the announcement from Stefano Zacchiroli's post to debian-devel@. ] Google Code-in is a contest for pre-university students (e.g., high school and secondary school students ages 13-17) with the goal of encouraging young people to participate in open source. If we want to participate we need volunteers who are willing to be mentors and somebody helping with the organisation. Laura Czajkowski has graciously agreed to help with the task of organising it. If you want to be part of this initiative, please get in touch with her. http://code.google.com/intl/de/opensource/gci/2011-12/index.html http://www.google-melange.com/gci/document/show/gci_program/google/gci2011/faq http://www.google-melange.com/gci/document/show/gci_program/google/gci2011/rules The tasks of admins will be: - having time to devote to the task from the beginning of November to the beginning of January - calling for / organizing ways to collect Debian easy hacks, that will be given out as GCI tasks - interacting with the students that will take part in GCI The deadline for *project* applications in GCI is November 1st. We'll need to have volunteers before that date, as it'd be pointless to apply if we aren't sure Ubuntu can participate properly in GCI. According to feedback from past admins, it'd be wise to have at least 3 volunteers before deciding to apply. Have a great day, Daniel -- Ubuntu Open Week - 17th Oct to 21st Oct https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
extending desktop LTS to 5 years
Hi all, For Precise Pangolin, Canonical is planning to invest resources in support and maintenance to increase the Ubuntu desktop LTS length from 3 years to 5 years (bringing it up to the same length as the server LTS), and to offer additional updates for new hardware through the standard SRUs and point releases in the first two years of the LTS. We've been consulting with the Tech Board, members of the Release Team, and flavors to make sure that this will be a beneficial contribution to the community, and won't cause any unintended additional work. Kate and I are scheduling a session at UDS about LTS planning, and we can talk there around practical details. For example, flavors that have taken the LTS designation in the past can choose now whether to use the added support and maintenance to extend their own support cycles or stick with 3 years. So, we'll talk through the ups and downs of each. Happy to add other items to the agenda for the session, let us know. Thanks, Allison -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

Adding a feature to enable a third party repository to an application
Hello, In Mythbuntu we have a tool called Mythbuntu Control Centre (MCC) that has a pluggable infrastructure for adding support via other packages. One of the plugins available is a package called mythbuntu-repos. This package isn't currently on the archive, but stored solely on http://mythbuntu.org/auto-builds. This package adds an additional tab to MCC which allows the user to enable or disable an extra repository for mythtv updates. This repository contains packages kicked off by a script that will build updated mythtv builds to both the current stable branch and the current master branch. Users can select either one from the repository. Thus far we've been reluctant to bring this feature directly into the packages in the archive. More and more however, we're finding ourselves recommending users go that URL to enable auto-builds and then update to the latest of the stable branch to determine if the problem is present there. So we're considering bringing the feature to enable the repository directly into MCC without additional plugins, but of course leaving the repository disabled until the user opts in to it. I wanted to get feedback from other Ubuntu developers. What do you think about allowing the user to enable a third party source from this tool?
