== LoCo News ==

=== Ubuntu-mx request for help ===

Javier shares that the Mexican LoCo was inspired by the Columbian team
and is currently undergoing a reorganization process. The team has
updated their website at ubuntumexico.org and is asking their members
to update or reactivate their launchpad membership, and has created a
list of other tasks they wish to accomplish. Javier wraps up by
explaining the point of the post is to "announce that we're alive and
ready to rumble, and ask whoever wants to help to join us" and ask for
suggestions on some of the technical and administrative tasks related
to running the LoCo.

http://viajemotu.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/ubuntu-mx-request-for-help/

=== Time to Jam Again! ===

Benjamin Kerensa reminds LoCos that the 12.10 release is quickly
approaching, meaning that once again it's time to plan Ubuntu Global
Jams. The Jam, which takes place September 7th-9th, is an opportunity
for the community to work on improvements for the upcoming release.
Jams are also an opportunity to introduce LoCo members to different
aspects of the community and new ways to contribute.

=== Ubuntu Jam AT Nijmegen, the Netherlands ===

Rachid BM shares plans for an upcoming Ubuntu Global Jam in Nijmegen,
the Netherlands in a schoolroom of AT Computing, and notes that the
venue provides "computers with Ubuntu installed, so that we are ready
to rock!"

== Launchpad News ==

=== New fastdowntime schedule ===

Robert Collins of Launchpad discusses the new, fast application of
patches over the past year using FDT (Fast Down Time). He reports the
application of "60 such patches, typically taking between 60 and 90
seconds each time, at 1000UTC, our scheduled daily 5 minute downtime
window for DB patching." Collins shares that with the removal of Slony
from their environment, they can now do even faster schema patches (6
seconds), and they'll be taking advantage of this by adding two 10
second downtime windows at 0200 UTC and 1800 UTC.

== Ubuntu Cloud News ==

=== Charming Hadoop ===

James Page dives into the details of the Hadoop charm for Ubuntu
Server's juju infrastructure. Page explains what Hadoop is, covers
some juju basics, and finally discusses how to configure and use the
Hadoop charm as well as Hadoop itself, and scale and monitor it with
juju.

new mini icons for the Box icon theme are in progress.

=== Marco Ceppi: How's Ask Ubuntu working out for you? ===

In his blog, Marco Ceppi asks about the niceness of answers on the
Stack Overflow site, which hosts Ask Ubuntu. Pointing out the
perennial problem of quality versus quantity, he acknowledges that the
larger a community grows, the greater the loss of quality. As the
original dedicated team moves on, he suggests the answers might get
more rude and less helpful. He then points out that a lot of work has
gone into maintaining standards, redirecting bug reports to Launchpad,
and removing rude comments considered "too snarky".

=== Nicholas Skaggs: Quality Perceptions Survey Results ===

Nicholas Skaggs provides results and insight from his Quality
Perceptions Survey. Questions asked in the survey included questions
about quality itself "What does quality mean to you?" and "What's the
biggest problem with quality in Ubuntu right now?", along with
questions about using development releases and participation in the QA
team itself.

project needs to be completed within the next week or two.

=== Didier Roche: Quickly reboot: Q&A session wrap up! ===

Didier Roche shares the recording of the latest Quickly Q&A session,
where he invited the community to "ask questions about Quickly and
propose enhancement" for Quickly. He also mentions that they'll be
taking a break from these sessions and invites people to "catch up on
the session notes, and provide feedback/ideas" on the wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly/Reboot.

Joey Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! writes of the recent arrival of Unity 6.2
in Quantal Quetzal's repositories. This release contains some 91 bug
fixes, including: the HUD not closing by Alt+F4 when Numlock or
Capslock are on, purchased apps not showing in the Unity launcher, and
more.

=== Canonical Showcases Desktop Linux, Inside the Browser ===

Christopher Tozzi reviews how the online tour of Ubuntu provides a "a
rigorous and impressively smooth" preview of Ubuntu from within a web
browser. Developed by Canonical's Web Design Team, it aims at
highlighting the desktop OS, the Unity Launcher and lens, and the
default apps - such as LibreOffice etc.

=== We Interview Leann Ogasawara, Canonical Kernel Team Manager,
Marathoner and Mother ===

Themes package for Classic session in Ubuntu 12.04: the
reimplementation of the Ubuntu icon for the Application Menu.

=== Unity 2D No Longer Installed By Default, Removed From The Ubuntu
12.10 Quantal Quetzal Repositories ===

Andrew of Web Upd8 writes about Unity 2D no longer being available for
the 12.10 Quantal Quetzal release. "Furthermore, the latest Unity
package, uploaded to the Ubuntu Quantal repositories a few hours ago,
uses a "dummy" Unity-2D package, so Unity 2D is no longer available in
the repositories and won't be installable at all in Quantal. Ubuntu
users without graphical acceleration will be able to use Unity 3D
thanks to llvmpipe."

=== Why Ubuntu 12.04 is the best desktop experience the free software
community has to offer. ===

Neil Munro covers some of the features of Unity which make 12.04 "best
desktop experience that the FLOSS community has to offer." Munro
covers in detail the five-year support period included with LTS, the
different feel from "the usual Gnome/KDE/XFCE interfaces" and calls it
"a next generation interface." He goes on to cover many of the
features of the Unity desktop and concludes: "All these little things
add up to create a very polished, functional unique branded desktop
experience."

=== Say Hello To Unity's Newest Feature: Previews ===

Joey Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! shares details, screenshots, and a video
of one of Unity's newest features: Previews. "In Ubuntu 12.04 and
earlier Dash results sport a single action: open. If it's a music file
it opens in a music player; if it's a Wikipedia Lens result it opens
in your browser, etc. Previews give users more by introducing a
'right-click' action for items displayed in the lens. This action
opens a "Preview Pane" tailored for that content type."

=== Does Ubuntu Need A Separate 'eBook & Magazine' Store? ===

Joey Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! writes about the increasing number of
eBooks and magazines in the Ubuntu Software Center. 'Despite having
'Software' in its name, the shelves of Ubuntu's one-stop app shop are
starting to warp under the weight of so much reading material. One
could say that the name "Ubuntu Software Center" is no longer an apt
description of what is actually on offer,' states Sneddon.

=== Ubuntu 12.10 Is Faster With Intel Hardware ===

Michael Larabel of Phoronix shares benchmarks of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS vs.
12.10 2012-08-13 on a CompuLab Intense-PC. He concludes that the
system "with Intel Core i7 "Ivy Bridge" processor is performing very
well with Ubuntu 12.10 and a very nice upgrade already over Ubuntu
12.04 LTS. Most of the performance boosts come from continued
optimizations on the open-source Intel graphics driver stack and the
move to the GCC 4.7 compiler. Additional performance boosts for
Nouveau/Radeon/Intel graphics may come still this cycle when moving to
Mesa 8.1/9.0."
