## This section is for Ubuntu News from "The Planet" at http://planet.ubuntu.com/ === Forums Council: Ubuntu Membership via Forum contributions ===

The Forums Council notes that it’s been awhile since a forum member became a Ubuntu member through forum contributions alone, and it was feared this was because of unclear membership instructions. To correct this they explain wiki page has been rewritten, plus a tutorial for ‘code of conduct’ created. So if you’re a forum contributor & would like Ubuntu membership, check out the new wiki & Launchpad page.

=== Timo Aaltonen: No Catalyst/fglrx video driver in Ubuntu 16.04 ===

Timo Aaltonen tells us that Catalyst/fglrx has been removed from Xenial [16.04] including of course the reason why. Machines currently using it will be moved to open driver stack and every effort is being made to make this painless. Timo’s blog ends with an upgrade-path that may need more thought before the scheduled release of 14.04.5 in August 2016.

Forums Council: Ubuntu Membership via Forum contributions

The Forums Council notes that it’s been awhile since a forum member became a Ubuntu member through forum contributions alone, and it was feared this was because of unclear membership instructions. To correct this they explain wiki page has been rewritten, plus a tutorial for ‘code of conduct’ created. So if you’re a forum contributor & would like Ubuntu membership, check out the new wiki & Launchpad page.

Timo Aaltonen: No Catalyst/fglrx video driver in Ubuntu 16.04

Timo Aaltonen tells us that Catalyst/fglrx has been removed from Xenial [16.04] including of course the reason why. Machines currently using it will be moved to open driver stack and every effort is being made to make this painless. Timo’s blog ends with an upgrade-path that may need more thought before the scheduled release of 14.04.5 in August 2016.
