This June 1st and 2nd, we will be holding an all-Ubuntu conference for the second time in Argentina, and with plans to make it regional from now on (next one is in Uruguay!). Even though it’s in Spanish, I’d like to open up the Call for Papers here on planet Ubuntu as well, in case…

Support open source games, donate to 0 A.D.
0 A.D. is an awesome cross-platform game that is fun, has stunning graphics and is completely open source. There’s even a PPA for Ubuntu. It works wonderfully on both my laptops.

We spend a lot of time making sure we’re not violating any licenses, and usually work with upstream early on. Charlie Smotherman got confused about how we had implemented music streaming and filed a bug reporting a violation. I’d encourage anyone who even suspects there may be a license violation to report a bug or…

One of the questions that took a little while for me to fully understand was a very simple one: why does Ubuntu One exist? Depending on who you ask, you may get a different answer, but here’s my take on it. Above all, to extend the power of Ubuntu as an environment. Ubuntu One already…
