Disassembling a DeLonghi eco310.r coffee machine
After a few weeks of being coffee-deprived, I decided to disassemble my espresso machine and see if I could figure out why it leaked water while on, and didn’t have enough pressure to produce drinkable coffee. I live a bit on the edge of where other people do, so my water supply is from my…

Click packages and how they’ll empower upstreams
As the pieces start to come together and we get closer to converging mobile and desktop in Ubuntu, Click packages running on the desktop start to feel like they will be a reality soon (Unity 8 brings us Click packages). I think it’s actually very exciting, and I thought I’d talk a bit about why…

On open sourcing Ubuntu One filesync
This week has been bitter-sweet. On the one hand, we announced that a project many of us had poured our hearts and minds into was going to be shut down. It’s made many of us sad and some of us haven’t even figured out what to do with their files yet 🙂 On the other…

Having worked at Canonical for over 4 years, and in open source projects for quite…

Losing perspective
12.10 is out, how awesome is that? Go ahead and get it if you haven’t yet. I’ve upgraded all my computers months ago and they’ve been stable and receiving polish and new features almost every day since, how awesome is that? It has tons of new features that put closed-source competitors to shame, how incredibly…

Real collaborative design with open source software
Last week we organized a local Ubuntu conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which we plan on making it a regional conference from now on thanks to the help from our friends in the Uruguay LoCo. The conference was great but by far what stayed with me was a talk and some subsequent conversations with Guillermo…

Help us organize UbuConLA 2012!
While a lot of you are at UDS, several Latin American LoCos are working hard to organize a local Ubuntu conference. Things are going really well, we’re 4 weeks away, but we’re a little short on funds. Every year the same people who organize it end up having to pay for many things themselves despite…

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…
