| === Ubuntu Upstream Report === The Upstream Report[1] is now in shape for people to work off of. This report, which lists the top 100 projects in Ubuntu sorted by open bugs, is a real-time list. It indicates how many of those bugs are Triaged, how many have an upstream task associated to them, and how well those bugs are being linked to an upstream bug tracker. Report users are encouraged to contact Jorge Castro with feedback concerning better measurement of bug linkages and any other details [1] https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+upstreamreport |

| === Ubuntu server team wants to know – how do you Ubuntu? === Canonical would like answers[1]. Users of the Ubuntu Server Edition are being asked how they use it, and in what kinds of organizations. This is a request for the community at large, and not just those requesting free server CDs. This survey is anonymous and takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete. It's open to anyone using Linux servers, not just those using Ubuntu. The purpose of the survey is to gather information on how people using servers in their business, in order to serve them better. [1] http://survey.ubuntu.com/ |

| === Intrepid Release Parties! === Ubuntu will be 4 years old with the release of Intrepid Ibex. What better time to throw a party than to combine the release with the birthday? Jono Bacon has recommendations about how to go about it at the link, including adding your party to the list of Intrepid Release Parties [1]. So, have a party. Blog about it. Make up fliers and put them in places like computer shops, libraries, cafes and educational establishments. If you need further information, a longer guide can be found at Running a Release Party [2].

| === Introducing the Ubuntu Wanted project === The purpose of the Ubuntu Wanted Project is to provide a place for projects and potential contributors to find each other. Brainstorm provides the ideas. Launchpad and development toolsets provide the means. What's needed is people to man the projects, and the Ubuntu Wanted Project is intended to serve that purpose. But even this project needs some help. PHP and SQL skills are needed. To contact Sense Hofstede (Qense), go to the #ubuntu-website or email the Ubuntu Website mailing list [1].

Currently, they are involved in translating the Ubuntu Desktop Course, which is a slow process. They have also reorganized the localization forum from the Romanian Ubuntu Forum, and are continuing work on GNOME packages, passing translations upstream to the coordinator of the GNOME Romanian translation team. |
