The Planet

Xubuntu: Presenting the Xubuntu status tracker

The Xubuntu team shares that they used the same status tracker as did other Ubuntu flavors up until 2015. This post introduces the new Xubuntu-specific status tracker with explanation of the main views: overview, work-items, burndown-chart, and timeline. The tracker is also integrated to Xubuntu wiki with links to team calendar, IRC channel, mailing list and new contributor documentation.

http://xubuntu.org/news/presenting-xubuntu-status-tracker/

Marcos Costales: How to print a document created with uWriter

Marcos Costales tells us how to print, and access documents created on your Ubuntu phone with programs like uWriter, from your PC running Ubuntu. Commands necessary, plus lots of screenshots are provided.

http://thinkonbytes.blogspot.com/2016/11/how-to-print-document-from-uwriter.html

Mythbuntu: So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

Thomas Mashos informs us that Mythbuntu as a separate distribution will cease to exist after specific Mythbuntu packages have been pulled from the repositories unless someone steps up to take them over. He explains the reasons why this is happening, gives special thanks to and names those that have helped, and explains how both new and existing users will be affected. Thomas assures us that the MythTV packages in the official repositories and the Mythbuntu PPA will continue to be available and updated.
