[Ubuntu-PH] Fwd: Ubuntu Global Jam: 12-14 September 2014
FYI Team Forwarded Message Subject: Ubuntu Global Jam: 12-14 September 2014 Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:46:53 +0200 From: Daniel Holbach To: undisclosed-recipients:; Hello, I write you in your capacity as LoCo admin/contact, because this cycle's Ubuntu Global Jam is announced and will happen on 12-14 September 2014. It's the event where a lot of Ubuntu LoCo teams get together to work on Ubuntu together, to promote it and to have fun. As always we have some good documentation up at [1] explaining how to best go about planning the event for your LoCo team. We also provide a short video to explain the most basic steps [2]. In addition to all of the above, we are going have a Hangout on Air on http://ubuntuonair.com where you can join us to ask all of your questions. The dates for these are: 27 Aug 2014, 10 UTC and 19 UTC. It's a good idea to reach out to your team early, find out who can help with the planning of which bits and also to find out who's interested in doing what. Once you have at least the basic details ready, add your event to [3]. I'm sure you are going to have a great time with your team, and please share your story about how the whole event went. The world wants to know about all the great things you do in your country. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

Svetlana was kind enough to register a few placeholder sessions already, so you might want to reach out to her to figure out how to subscribe to the session or get it scheduled at the right time. Let's all try to get the most out of UOS and both discuss what needs to be done and inform the rest of the world about what your team is and has been doing!

[Ubuntu-PH] Fwd: Please share with your LoCos
-- Forwarded message -- From: "Mackenzie Morgan" Date: 25 May 2011 09:13 Subject: Please share with your LoCos To: When your interaction with other Ubuntu users is entirely made up of developers talking about bugs they need to fix and users seeking support (IRC, forums, bug reports), your perspective changes. It's hard to get a good idea of the big picture. What portion of users are hitting problems in what areas? How do users who've reported bugs feel about the experience? How are the local community teams doing? That kind of stuff is hard to wrap your head around without metrics. To that end, a bunch of members of the Ubuntu community have worked together to create a survey that'll help those of us working on various parts of Ubuntu understand where we need to improve and how we can do better. If you have an opinion on Ubuntu, please take 5 minutes to fill out the following Ubuntu User-Experience survey: http://is.gd/vnPvog Thank you! -- Mackenzie Morgan -- loco-contacts mailing list loco-conta...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts -- ubuntu-ph mailing list ubuntu-ph@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ph
[Ubuntu-PH] Resource Speaker for PLM
Hi guys, This PM was sent on my FB account. I'm forwarding to this list for anyone who's interested in advocating Ubuntu and Linux in general. Hello sir! I am Monique Agonos a third year student from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila(PLM), currently taking Bachelor of Science in Computer Studies Major in Information Technology. Our class will be organizing a seminar in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the subject Principles on Operating Systems on the last week of January next year. It will be held at the Bulwagang Manileno ,PLM from 2:00PM - 5:00 PM. We have chosen the Linux to be the topic of the seminar (Fedora, Redhat if possible). A specific distribution, if preferred by the speaker would be possible. As far as we know Linux is an operating system that can run on a pc just like Windows. But unlike the latter, it gives additional power which we are not so familiar about and it's free. We believe this is an interesting topic to discuss since only few students have knowledge on this system software and we want to know more about this. It will be participated by 100 students and some faculty members from College of Engineering and Technology. In line with this, we are requesting for some help from you by referring to us a resource speaker that will discuss this topic. We are hoping for the most favourable response you could extend to us. If you decided to be a part of this academic project please feel free to contact me: Monique Agonos Head Organizer @yahoo.com 09085722575 THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS! -- Dax Solomon Umaming http://blog.knightlust.com/ -- ubuntu-ph mailing list ubuntu-ph@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ph

IIRC, the response wasn't encouraging since sub-groups *might* cause more harm than good since each group would have their own goal instead of a single unified objective.

[Ubuntu-PH] Resignation as LoCo Contact
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Guys, This is a very sad day for me since I'm announcing my resignation as the LoCo Contact for the Philippine Team. I've thought this through and decided it's the best for the team. My time for Ubuntu and Ubuntu-PH has been drastically reduced for quite some time now due to additional workload, school, family, and renewed focus on software development (specifically the Linux Kernel and Wammu/Gammu). And I can no longer stand by and watch while my absence holds the team back. I'm not sure how we go about selecting my replacement, but I sure wish someone would volunteer themselves for this job or maybe hold an election. In the mean time, I'm assigning Zak Elep (our previous LoCo Contact) to stand-in for me on all Ubuntu-PH matters - _but_ only if he accepts this responsibility, I don't want to burden him further. == Website == I've already sent Zak and Loell (our forum moderator) the login and db credentials for our website. If you need it, I only ask that you become an Ubuntu member as the minimum requirement. In addition, our website is closest to my heart and I will continue working on it during my free time. I'm still working on improving the theme and a Planet alternative that'll work on our current host. == Official Ubuntu and Official Ubuntu Server Books == I already mailed the 2 books to JC, anyone who needs them will have to contact him directly. Please make sure that you mail/bring it back since he'll be the custodian of the books and will guarantee that the whole team benefits from it. Another set of free books is available[1], so the next LoCo Contact should make sure to order one. == Philippine Team Wiki == Our wiki is sadly outdated, we need someone to look after it. Also note that we need to create/submit a monthly team report. The howto is documented on the TeamReports wiki.

[Ubuntu-PH] Fwd: Lucid translations are now open
Original Message Subject: Lucid translations are now open Date: Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:52:39 -0800 From: David Planella To: Ubuntu Translators Hi translators, I'm pleased to announce that Lucid translations are now open. You can now go to http://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu and start doing your rocking job to translate your favourite distro as usual. Some notes: Priorities -- The template priorities are still not set up as they were in Karmic. That means that although some of the most important templates are already at the top of the list, not all of the priorities have been entered in Launchpad yet. We'll sort that out in the next few days and set up the priorities for all templates. If in the meantime you see any particular one you'd like to be further up (or down) in the list, just let me or anyone from the Ubuntu Translations Coordinators team [1] know and we can change it straight away. OpenOffice.org -- At UDS we discussed about having the OO.o translation infrastructure in shape and being able to translate it in Launchpad. That means using the translations done in Launchpad and exporting them regularly in the OpenOffice.org package whenever the other language packs are released. It is not sure whether we'll have the resources to make this happen, so for now, we've decided disabling the OpenOffice.org translations in Launchpad until we are sure this will be possible. Most importantly, this will avoid giving translators false expectations that OO.o translations from Launchpad will be used in the distro. This does only mean that translations will not be exposed in the UI, but they are still in the database and can be easily exposed again. We did this some time ago for other releases already, and in order to make it easier for those teams working only in Launchpad to reuse the translations and send them upstream, you'll find them here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~dpm/ooo/ Language packs -- During the development cycle, language packs for Lucid are generated twice per week and automatically uploaded to the archive, so that you can see and test the results of the translations more frequently. On the time preceding an archive freeze before a milestone the automatic upload will be temporarily disabled and reenabled after the freeze. You'll see that there hasn't been a Lucid language pack update since a few weeks. That's due to the migration of the language packs to another server, but very soon new ones will be generated. Firefox --- Due to the migration to Firefox 3.6 and the work involved merging the templates, translations are still not getting exported in the Lucid language packs, but we're working on this. The change you'll notice is that now there is only a 'firefox' template, making translation a bit easier (before there were e.g. 'fifefox-3.5' and 'xulrunner-1.9.1' templates). I think that's all for now, if you've got any questions, feel free to ask and... ... happy translating! Regards, David.

This is a great opportunity for LoCo teams to come together and work directly on Ubuntu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam The idea is to come together, have fun, learn something new and share the great experience of making Ubuntu better together. You can run a number of different activities, depending on what interests the members of your team the most. * Bug Jams: you work together on Ubuntu bugs, fix them, triage them, improve them, … * Packaging Jams: learn packaging of Ubuntu software, work on some small packaging bugs, * Translation Jams: translate software, make Ubuntu usable in lots of languages, * Doc Jams: have a look at Ubuntu documentation, fix it and improve it, * Testing Jams: put the new Ubuntu version to the test, check it out and test-drive it, * Upgrade Jams: upgrade to the newest Ubuntu version and give it a spin! In a few days we are going to announce a couple of sessions on IRC that will focus on discussing and explaining setting up a jam and all the different kinds of jams. It would be great if you would reach out to your team, ask for their interest and review the documentation, so you can ask all your open questions https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jams This is going to be a great opportunity for your team to come together again, do something great, have fun and see yourself how awesome your team is.

Try selecting either PAP or CHAP - this worked with AT&T back when I was in the US (although I forgot what method I used, but I'm sure it's one of them). > We tried to edit the created account but we could not.

May way bang maging > administrator with out going through the terminal whenever > administrator status is needed? The term is correct on Ubuntu since first/main users are always part of the admin group with sudo privileges. For other distros, they prefer the term superuser or root. Getting back to the topic, if it did ask for a username and/or password, just leave it blank. But this would only work on a LiveCD session[5]. I'll forward your other email to the list as well.

DSL is bayantel. > What do we need to do to get our internet working under ubuntu. I'm not familiar with Bayantel. But have you checked your settings? Does your router/modem provide you with a dynamic ip address? or do you have to manually set it up? I suggest you check your XP network settings. Also try reading the networking manual available at the wiki[1] > By the way, my daughter had previously been able to run ver9.04 under > VMWare in her netbook and had no problems using it, including the > internet.

You can use Ubuntu's USB Startup Disk Creator (System > Administration > USB Startup Disk Creator) or UNetbootin[2] (I've been using this personally). There's also a good tutorial available online[3]. A word of caution though, you'll have to manually partition the netbook so make sure you have the original install and drivers cd (if you want to dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu) and don't forget to backup your files. > We also came across a video on doing a dual boot installation of a much > earlier version of ubuntu wherein the guy was able to access the net > using the live cd option of trying out ubuntu without changing anything > in his current system.

Re: [Ubuntu-PH] Ubuntu-PH: Request For Karmic CDs
Hi guys, This has been resolved internally. My apologies if the team has been left out, but I believe this to be a private matter. Anyway, we have some good news. The team will be receiving 2 LoCo packs from Canonical. The first one will exclusively be distributed in UP through the help of Myra Jill, Rom, and Theiss while the second one will be for general dissemination through Zak. Hopefully, we'll get it by next week (customs tax has already been paid by Canonical) but you can send your request early. Make sure to include your name, complete mailing address (no P.O. box please), and contact no.
