Re: [ubuntu-uk] idea for screencast
You want to use CryptKeeper in the screencast. It's a gnome applet and uses encfs and fuse. It's dead simple to install and use on a basic ubuntu setup. Basically you create a folder which can dynamically grow and encrypt it with a password. Once you've mounted the folder with the gnome applet, you use it like a normal folder. I've been using it on my hd and usb drives for a couple of months now without any problems at all. It's not in the repos atm but you can download a deb file for it from getdeb.

[ubuntu-uk] Submitting articles to newspapers/local mags
Hi folks, This is just a quick post to the list, asking you to consider writing to your local newspaper or magazine to promote Ubuntu. The article has already been written for you. You can edit it, change it or leave it as it is, but the general idea is that it should take the effort out of having to write your own unless you really want to. You can find the article here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKMarketing/ArticleForLocalMagazine There's a small table at the bottom of the article to track submissions. Please, fill it out when you submit the article so that we can track its spread, and how useful it is. Thanks Chris PS. I've sent this message to both the ubuntu-uk loco, and the marketing mailing list.

If anyone is in Philips area, even just getting a couple of people together in a pub for a "meet and greet" would be good. Same goes for any other area!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Full Circle Magazine looking for podcasters

One of the items on the list for discussion was Ronnies thread on ubuntuforums. Matt threw his hat into the ring and mentioned my name [2] :) He's clearly keen to do something in relation to this. From my perspective I'm interested in _some_ kind of new media (audio or video podcast) centred around Ubuntu. I've been thinking about what form that could take, and have made some suggestions on the Ubuntu Marketing [3] [4] [5] mailing list. I note that some feedback came back suggesting that it might be prudent to hook up with already existing content providers (podcasters to you and me ;) ) and get them involved in the marketing team discussions. That way there can be more evangelism / marketing of the Ubuntu products and brand without considerable extra effort from new content providers. I am in two minds about what to do. Whether to start by doing a podcast based on the UWN, whether to do something for full circle, or just sit back and watch you lot do it :) Through the screencast project I have most of the equipment needed to do audio podcasting (a couple of decent mics, mixer etc). I've also been watching episodes of GMT [6] to improve my knowledge. So you could say I've been thinking about this quite a bit. Cheers, Al.
