Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 27 for January 1st - 7th, 2007. In this issue we cover ... == In This Issue == ## In this section, list major topics of interest using bullets. ## Format: * <Topic name> ## Ex: * Ubuntu overtakes Microsoft with 90% marketshare == General Community News == ## Make each article a subsection, via === ## These are big articles that don't fit within another section == LoCo News == ## Make each article a subsection, via === Section name === ## Add notes about new locoteams, changed ones, meetings, etc. == This Week's Quiz == ## In this section, edit the opening text, then fill in the blanks accordingly. Thanks to the UbuntuTrivia Team, headed by Alexandre Vessilitto, we had another exciting quiz this week. Quizmaster : Champion : Sponsor : Prize : Upcoming for next week: Sponsor : Prize : To participate in the quiz, join #ubuntu-trivia on irc.freenode.net on Friday and/or Saturday UTC-nights - the topic will usually tell you when the next quiz is scheduled. To give a quiz, contact Alexandre Vassalotti (theCore) - we will probably find you a spot. To donate a prize, please contact Jenda Vancura (jenda) - your generosity is appreciated. The generic prize is an Ubuntu Poster ($5 value). The quiz usually has a theme, and the quizmaster will sometimes tell you what the theme of the quiz will be. If not, you can always bribe him/her. By winning the quiz and foregoing the prize, you donate it for the next quiz. This is especially appreciated if you are a frequent winner. == Changes In Fiesty == ## This list is pulled by Corey Burger and dumped here in raw form for parsing. ## Choose a something you wish to write about a write a short piece about what ## has changed since the last version in Ubuntu. This might mean several upstream ## releases. To find this data, use the changelog in the package and look on the web. ## If you cannot find a usable changelog, simply drop that package. Try and group packages ## together logically, such as X, the kernel or GNOME. ## After all the package sections are written, organize them logically, based ## on desktop or server, GNOME, KDE, or Xfce4, etc. ## Sometimes bigger changes, such as a new development policy or a major new ## thing will be mentioned under a seperate heading |
