[Ubuntu-US-CA] Ubuntu Hour Berkeley?

2013-04-05 Thread Grant Bowman
Sorry for the late notice but is anyone else able to host the Hour tomorrow? I 
do not expect much turnout. There was a very light meeting last month.

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Wednesday, April 10th: San Francisco Ubuntu Hour and Bay Area Debian Meeting

2013-04-05 Thread Elizabeth Krumbach
Hi everyone,

Once again, we've decided to sync up our monthly San Francisco Ubuntu
Hour with the 2nd Wednesday date of the Bay Area Debian Meeting, to
offer an evening of Ubuntu and Debian!

So this Wednesday, April 10th, the plan is as follows:

First, from 6-7PM:

San Francisco Ubuntu Hour
Location: The Roastery, 199 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco
Details: 
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2331-ubuntu-hour-san-francisco/

Then, from 7-9PM:

Bay Area Debian Meeting
Location: Henry's Hunan Restaurant, 110 Natoma Street, San Francisco
Details: http://bad.debian.net/list/2013-April/003539.html

So come out to the Ubuntu Hour and join us for dinner at the Bay Area
Debian Meeting!

To find us at both events, look for the people in the Linux shirts and
the penguin, Squeeze and Wheezy stuffed toys. At Henry's Hunan we'll
have reservations under "Bay Area Debian"

Hope to see you there!

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fwd: DVD news

2013-04-05 Thread Elizabeth Krumbach
Hi everyone,

Canonical won't be shipping out (or producing, it seems) non-LTS DVDs anymore.

As a result, we'll be getting LTS release DVDs when requests are made
for conferences (and presumably when it's released).

More details below.

Aloha folks,

A number of people have been asking for an update on the 13.04 DVD
allocation, the LoCo Council contacted Canonical to see what was
happening this cycle.
Below is the mail we were asked to share with people from Canonical.


Hi all,

This is just to let you know that going forward, Canonical will not be
producing DVDs for standard releases.We understand that to
convert interested experimenters to Ubuntu users we need to provide
and outstanding initial user-experience, and the ability for the user
to
explore and learn in safety with a supporting network of experts
around them. The LoCo teams are a key to that second part as you
provide a personal experience that's local to the user.

While we love users to be on the latest version of Ubuntu, the key
thing for new users is a known, stable and supported environment. So
to make sure we
provide that we'll be shipping you the LTS release CDs rather than the
latest standard release.

Therefore, there won't be DVDs for 13.04 as going forward our focus
will be on LTS releases. The next production of DVDs will be 14.04. To
bridge the gap till 14.04,we will continue to supply 12.04 DVDs for
events. You can request DVDs for events through Shipit as
normal.[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences]

Thank you for your continued and valuable support in making Ubuntu great.

Michelle
