Trusty attends first Ubuntu Hour

Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph writes that for each Ubuntu release she spends a little time finding a toy or other representation of the codename animal to use at booths, Ubuntu Hours and other events. Elizabeth says that a Trusty Tahr took some tracking down so she settled for a Hansa 15″ mountain goat, and shows us some photographs of its first Ubuntu Hour in San Francisco!

Three Teams Verified

Stephen Michael Kellat informs us that the LoCo Council recently recently verified the following communities: Ubuntu Morocco, Ubuntu Brazil and Ubuntu Portugal. Stephen encourages leaders of Ubuntu communities to read through the successful teams' check-in applications as much can be learned from lateral team-to-team contact, and reminds us that the Ubuntu Ohio Verification check-in is coming up soon on the Council's agenda.

From 0 to hero in a few minutes, introducting Juju Bundles

Jorge Castro informs us that bundles are sets of services that are bundled in one file that can be deployed together, and they are now in the Juju Charm Store. Jorge goes on to say that bundles are in beta, and although jujucharms.com will continue to grow support for bundles it’s mostly focused on charms at present.
