Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] From Southern California--place to stay.
Just to clarify - George was one of our awesome booth volunteers from SCaLE12x this year and he's coming up for the San Francisco release party (and bringing a laptop for demos!) so he's looking for a place to stay Thursday night. Normally I'd offer space on my couch, but I've got a bit too much going on right now.

Hi everyone, So far I've committed to hauling over 3 laptops and a tablet with the latest release, and Grant is bringing along his tablet as well. Does anyone else have laptops (or tablets, phones running Ubuntu) that they could bring along to this event as demo machines for attendees?

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fwd: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) released
Happy release day, my California friends! If you're in/around San Francisco this evening we'll be having a release party at 7PM Details: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/2583-san-francisco-saucy-salamander-release-party/ -- Forwarded message -- From: Adam Conrad adcon...@ubuntu.com Date: Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 6:13 AM Subject: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) released To: ubuntu-annou...@lists.ubuntu.com The Ubuntu team is very pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 13.10 for Desktop, Server, Cloud, Phone, and Core products. Codenamed Saucy Salamander, 13.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs. Ubuntu 13.10 introduces the first release of Ubuntu for phones and Ubuntu Core for the new 64-bit ARM systems (the arm64 architecture, also known as AArch64 or ARMv8), and improved AppArmor confinement. In addition to these flagship features there are also major updates throughout. Ubuntu Server 13.10 includes the Havana release of OpenStack, alongside deployment and management tools that save devops teams time when deploying distributed applications - whether on private clouds, public clouds, x86 or ARM servers, or on developer laptops. Several key server technologies, from MAAS to Ceph, have been updated to new upstream versions with a variety of new features. Maintenance updates will be provided for Ubuntu 13.10 for 9 months, through July 2014. The newest Kubuntu 13.10, Edubuntu 13.10, Xubuntu 13.10, Lubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu GNOME 13.10, UbuntuKylin 13.10, and Ubuntu Studio 13.10 are also being released today.

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fwd: [BALUG-Announce] REMINDER BALUG TOMORROW Tu 2013-10-15: Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph: Code Review for Systems Administrators; other BALUG News
Hi everyone, I don't usually forward announcements for BALUG meetings since I assume folks who are in San Francisco and interested are subscribed to their announce list, but since I've had a lot of chats lately with team members about OpenStack and how we manage our fleet of Ubuntu servers that runs the OpenStack infrastructure I figured I'd pass this along.

The OpenStack Infrastructure team not only manages this system using all open source tools, like Gerrit and Jenkins for review and testing, but also uses the system themselves for reviewing and testing changes being made to systems running the infrastructure itself. Puppet configuration files, Python scripts and more are subjected to automated syntax tests and then collaboratively reviewed in public by community and core team members alike before approval. This talk will give you a walk through of the actual software used to accomplish this and how this process has allowed the team to have a considerably open, collaborative approach to systems administration for the project infrastructure. Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph is an Automation and Tools Engineer at HP[2] working on the OpenStack Infrastructure[3] team. She is also a member of the Ubuntu Community Council[4] and on the Board of Directors for Partimus[5], a non-profit in the San Francisco Bay Area providing Linux-based computers to schools in need. 1. http://www.princessleia.com/ 2. http://www.hp.com/ 3. http://ci.openstack.org/ 4. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil 5. http://partimus.org/ So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to: r...@balug.org **Why RSVP??** Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help BALUG and the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and meeting, and with sufficient attendance, they also help ensure that we'll be able to eat upstairs in the private banquet room.

[Ubuntu-US-CA] We now have an Ubuntu Banner and Tablecloth for SoCal AND NorCal
Hi everyone, Ever since receiving the Ubuntu tablecloth and banner from Canonical a couple years ago we've been shipping it between northern and southern California for events. This was starting to get expensive (community members were paying for this out of their own pocket) and was always logistically troublesome (getting it shipped on time, etc). When funding for Community, Upstreams, and Flavors was announced by Canonical in June[0] I immediately thought of this and put in a request for a 2nd banner and tablecloth for the team. I received a banner and tablecloth today! I'll be keeping this one here in Northern California for events we do up here. Phliip Ballew currently has the banner and tablecloth for Southern California and so he'll be the one to contact if you are organizing something down there.

Hi everyone, Larry Cafiero of FeltonLUG (just north of Santa Cruz) has asked me if I knew of anyone who could come down to their LUG and present on Ubuntu 13.04 next Sunday, July 14th. I presented for them last year and they're a great group of folks, it was a fun and interactive presentation. Plus it gave me the opportunity to sneak in a roller coaster that evening in Santa Cruz. Unfortunately my speaking schedule these next few weeks is busy so I'm unable to do it this time. Is there anyone else on list who can make it down? Or do you know of someone?

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] ubuntu hour placard ... license?; ... CD sleeves (8.5x11 fold up)
On Sun, Jul 7, 2013 at 10:12 AM, Michael Paoli michael.pa...@cal.berkeley.edu wrote: What license(s) would you want added that would be most appropriate? Keep in mind *most* of the content is Copyright and/or Trademark by Canonical. I didn't add all that much to it - but still, ought to have suitable compatible license to cover that. Since it's more creative than code, I'd suggest a creative commons license, with a preference for CC BY-SA http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/ With the comments that you don't need to give attribution. I notice you already included Trademark comments in the README so we're set there for Canonical's assets. Also, probably would be good to also have that information in the placard svg file itself - in reasonably readable form, but that wouldn't print out by default. Any particularly good ideas how to do that? (E.g. layer(s) of text not visible by default - or is there some better/best practice on how to do that for Inkscape svg file?) Hopefully someone else can chime in here, I don't know! And yes, CD/DVD sleeves - I've also done some stuff on that - should put that up somewhere too - but git or the like may be more suitable, as I foresee a lot more forking there. :-) I've been meaning to add fold lines to one of your more recent revisions, but the first step is digging through email to find the latest ones - putting them *somewhere* in revision control would be good :) If you put them on a public git repo I can copy California-specific ones to our bzr (just so we have all our assets in one easily accessible spot). And that reminds me that the sleeves don't have an obvious license either. I'll contact contributors to that and sort it out.

I'll contact contributors to that and sort it out. Actually, they do have a license but it's not a common one (and was never copied over to the new branch so I missed it, oops). I'm still reaching out to contributors to see if we can get it moved to a more common license, and even if they don't want to change it I'll make sure the new branch gets a license. -- Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph || Lyz || pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
