| {{{ WORK IN PROGRESS }}} Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue ## for the week of Sept, 10 - 16, 2006. In this issue we cover ... You can always find older Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter issues at:: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter == In This Issue == == General Community News == Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) Mountain View - details emerging at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperSummitMountainView ''(or maybe this belongs in the meetings section?)'' == Security Updates == == Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Updates == == New Apps In Edgy == Chuck Short has uploaded a new develpment snapshot of Xen, with a lot of bugfixes and support a large number of network cards, including via ndiswrapper. The latest version of gnome-app-install features better integration of the popularity contest data (http://popcon.ubuntu.com/). It can sort against by this information and it will also take it into account when calculating the ranking for searches. To help making it really efficient, please make sure to enable it on your system! Go to System/Administration/Software Properties and click on the "Statistics" tab there. Another new feature is the support for translated packages descriptions in apt and its various frontends (aptitude, synaptic, gnome-app-install, update-manager, adept, etc). If there is a translation available for the package description it will be automatically picked up and used. See https://launchpad.net/products/ddtp-ubuntu/+translations for the current translation status. A special thanks to our friends from http://ddtp.debian.net/ for their hard work. There are still many untranslated descriptons so help is very appreciated! === Other new versions in Edgy === postfix 2.2.3 (bug fix release) pygoocanvas 0.4.1 gcin 1.2.5 Don't forget quick installation notes, enable extra repository, package name, use g-a-i where possible, etc... == Launchpad News == == Bug Stats == New Bugs: # [[BR]] Closed Bugs: # === Infamous Bugs === == In The Press == Reuters takes a very high profile look at Mark Shuttleworth and Ubuntu: ''"Ultimately open source is the platform of the future," Shuttleworth told Reuters. "It's one of those enormous waves that is taking over everything -- like the Internet." Shuttleworth's "Ubuntu" family of software programmes is based on the Linux open source operating system, which works on the principle that software is free and can be modified at no cost by anyone to suit local and specific needs -- unlike rival Microsoft's proprietary software. With quirky names for its programmes like 'Hoary Hedgehog' and 'Warty Warthog', Ubuntu -- an African word that means caring for your community and humanity for others -- is meant to be simpler to use than other Linux systems. PC World magazine last year named Ubuntu as the 26th best product of the year -- ranking it above Apple's iTunes media player which was in 34th spot.''
