Laura Cowen, Mark Johnson, Tony Whitmore and Alan Pope drink hot mulled cordial and tea, eat mince pies and chocolate yule log with brandy butter, and bring you the final episode of season 4 of the Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo Team!
In this week’s show:-
We talk about about what we’ve been doing including failing to give a talk because the laptop wouldn’t talk to the projector, failing to get some work done because the desktop wouldn’t boot, learning to write a Perl script in quite a short space of time, and releasing lots of code because it’s just that time of year. We look back at the predictions we made this time last year, congratulate ourselves on the few we got right, and then make some predictions about what will (probably not) have happened by this time next year. And we present this year’s UUPC Christmas play: A UUPC Christmas Carol! (Complete with lots of very dodgy accents.) In the news:-
Microsoft enable opt-out in appstore licence… OpenStreetMap raise lots of money very quickly for new servers… HP open source WebOS… Google gets support for running games in browsers… HTC loses patent battle to Apple…
We mention some Ubuntu related news in the Gerald/bit-about-Ubuntu/ecosphere:-
How to customise Unity… Help reduce the power consumption of Ubuntu… Java 6 will be removed from the repositories… For more info, see:
Get involved with Ubuntu desktop projects… Use Paypal on Ubuntu Software Centre…
And in Not-about-Ubuntu:-
