| Benjamin Humphrey from the Ubuntu Manual Project talks about the core philosphy for the Ubuntu Manual Project. Over the course of several weeks, Kevin, Ilya, Thorsten and Benjamin developed ten principles that the project stands for. This list will be displayed on their new website which is being finished off to fit within the new Ubuntu project guidelines and branding. These values include "success of our users is the ultimate goal", "research, do not guess", and "satisfy our target audience’s diverse needs" to name a few. |

| As he's spending more time on smaller laptops and netbooks, Dustin has been falling in love with Chromium web browser. After taking a little time to learn the ins and outs, he's replaced all of the functionality he needed from Firefox and more. He feels the most useful feature is Chromium's custom "search engines". He has a video that demonstrates adding a custom manpages.ubuntu.com to Chromium's search engines, such that you can type something like "man kvm" in your browser's URL bar, and go straight to the HTML rendering of the kvm manpage! |

LoCo News
Rocking The LoCo Council
I just wanted to take a moment to highlight the incredible work going on with the Ubuntu LoCo Council who are working hard to govern the LoCo community and ensure everything is running smoothly.
The LoCo Council has two key IRC events in each month that everyone is welcome to attend:
LoCo Council monthly IRC meeting – on the 3rd Tuesday of the month in #ubuntu-meeting. See the agenda
LoCo Health Check – 1st Tuesday of the month in #ubuntu-locoteams – an informal meeting where anyone can add a topic to discuss and get some council feedback – see this page for more details.
…and of course, the LoCo council are always available in #ubuntu-locoteams.
Finally, when tweeting about Ubuntu LoCo teams, don’t forget to use the #locoteams tag.
Keep up the great work, folks!

Launchpad News
Three tips for faster launchpadlib api clients
Martin Pool posts, three tips from Leonard’s lightning talk in Prague about writing faster Launchpadlib API clients:
1. Use the latest launchpadlib. It gets faster from one release to the next. (The versions in the current Ubuntu release should be fine; otherwise run from the branch or the latest tarball.)
2. Profile:
import httplib2
httplib2.debuglevel = 1
will show each http request and response, so that you can see what’s taking time.
3. Fetch objects only once:
Don’t do this:
if bug.person is not None:
print bug.person.name
instead
p = bug.person
if p is not None:
print p.name
In the first case, the client may fetch the Person object twice. (We may fix this in future.)To see the original posting go to:
