| ## Things Ubuntu-specific are great, but general Linux goings-on are good to, to an extent. ## We don't need to replicate Digg & Slashdot, but certain things are of special interest. ## Just pulling one example from my memory, the story about Indiana schools piloting ## a classroom Linux deployment, a portion of which was Ubuntu, are good. Ubuntu ## release reviews are also common items in this section. |
=== Ubuntu 10.04 Gets Cloud-Based Contact Syncing === Life Hacker's Kevin Purdy tells us that along with a built-in music store, Ubuntu 10.04, the free Linux distribution arriving later this month, will offer a 30-day trial of cloud-based contact syncing through its Ubuntu One storage service. It's a promising peek into nifty features to come. "Promising" because, at the moment, Ubuntu One contact syncing is a kind of alpha feature that's being offered as a 30-day trial, free to users of Ubuntu One's standard 2 GB of web storage. It uses Funambol, a background push/sync service often mentioned in the comments around here, and there's already an Ubuntu-branded iPhone app—though any Funambol client on most any phone can also sync to Ubuntu One, as can phones that support Sync``ML. Adventurous Ubuntu users can read the Phone Sync FAQ for help and suggestions. You'll need an Ubuntu One account to try out contact syncing, which you can create here.

| ## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth. ## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here. ## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so. |
