As Jaunty rolls in, a new wave of users land on this side of the fence. This talk is intended for new Ubuntu users who want to have a crash course on who to find help within the community support platform. From the very famous Ubuntu Forums, the Ubuntu WIKI, Help, Mailing lists and IRC channels, and more. This session will provide with tips on how to use these resources more effectively and also a small reference to guidelines on netiquette when using  community support.

New to Ubuntu. BE THERE!

Jaunty MEME: Is it out yet?

April 16, 2009 at 11:37 am | In English, Uncategorized | 2 Comments

Well it is almost release time for Jaunty and you know what that means, I wish I had a dime for evertime people ask the question “Is it out yet?”. and the many repsonses from people in the room are really creative and cool.

Rules:

  • Answer the question in the most creative way

Considering it is NOT out yet, what is your answer?

r: It is NOT out, and every time you ask the question The Release Team delays Jaunty  2 more hours.

P.S. the idea of this post is not to promote the question in ubuntu IRC channels. as it results in kicks and/or bans.

P.S.S. Wouldn’t it be cool if we had a bot count the number of times it counted the question? :D

Well, I have joined the John P. Health Challenge health challenge (@JohnPoz on twitter). I found out about it via twitter and It looks like it is a goal I can achieve easily.

Here are the Rules

  1. Almost completely eliminate sugar from the diet. No more candy, Coke, or other sugary drinks. In fact, nothing but water! One Coke and one candy bar per week are allowed.
  2. Decrease food portions by 40-50% for all meals. Instead of eating whatever looks good, stop eating after you feel full. (Overall, I want to consume half the calories I used to.)
  3. Snack all you want, but only fruit or nuts are allowed!
  4. Exercise every single day. This doesn’t mean long exercise daily. It means frequent bursts of exercise. Pushups and situps as many times a day as you can squeeze them in. Whatever you are capable of, just lots of it!

My initial weight is  237.6 lbs (108 kg).  so it is about time I started doing something about it.

Join in!

VENTO has logo… PHP porting done…

Well, a couple of weeks back. I decided to clean up some code I had in a drawer somewhere and shape it into a project. It’s name is VENTO and event management system that makes the work a breeze. It seems this anouncement has generated lots of interest in many people around the globe. good expectations.

I have finished porting my php code to django and I have pushed this code to a bazaar branch in launchpad.  Unfortunately it is far from perfect but close to usable, but we will get there. I have already begun registering some blueprints to make VENTO the Event Management System that is simple to use and done right.

VENTO can currently do registration for an event. this app in the proyect is called reggie. It is the first and only stage developed so far. it provides and idea of what VENTO is going to be.

I would like to invite you to try vento and propose your ideas in the form of blueprints and if you are very serious about helping out in the development of this great project. Show us what you got and join the dev-team.
