=== Holiday Schedule for Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter ===
Today's issue of the UWN will be the last new issue for the year 2008.
Regular weekly editions of the UWN will resume on January 4th, 2009. We
want to express our thanks to the Ubuntu Community for all their words
of encouragement and support during the past year. It has been our
privileged to bring you all the Ubuntu related news and stats, and we
look forward to continuing this process in 2009. The editors and

Events" section, the schedule for the next two weeks.
=== Announcing the next "Global Ubuntu BugJam" ===
jorge has given us the dates for the next Global BugJam: February 20th
to 22nd, 2009. This is an opportunity for people to get together on-line
and really make an impact fixing bugs. For LoCo Teams, it's an
opportunity to physically get together, meet new people, and share the
Ubuntu experience. jorge even supplies a way to organize local support
for the bugjam.

=== Ubuntu on Amazon EC2 Beta released ===
Rick Clark has released information that Amazon has started beta testing
the Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition EC2 Cloud Computing, and is accepting
applications for access[1]. Amazon will charge EC2 users for their usage
of the service, but there is no additional charge for the Ubuntu Server.
You can find out more information about Ubuntu on Amazon:

=== Main frozen for Alpha 2 ===
Steve Langasek has reported that Alpha 2, the second milestone for
Jaunty Jackalope, occurred on December 18, 2008. With this, the
milestone freeze is in effect, and one should hold any disruptive or
unnecessary files until after the release of Alpha 2. Primary focus
should be on resolving existing bugs[1] and helping get the archive in a
consistent state[2].

== LoCo News ==
=== Ubuntu in national Danish TV again ===
The Danish LoCo has done it again. Following their first appearance on
television, where they set up Ubuntu for a family with children, they
have now followed up with the family. The family is still using Ubuntu,
and the father's company has also moved to Ubuntu. This tops off their
2008 year of parties and advertising very nicely.

== Launchpad News ==
=== Launchpad interview: Meet Jonathan Lange ===
Jonathan is one of the "busy people" working on the SSH server, and it's
components for Launchpad. This is the system that allows you to download
branches and commit to them through bzr. His humor, as well as his
interest in computers and software, come through quite well in this
interview. But, did he really ingest an ancient Tibetan philtre that
granted him the ability to walk through walls, and compel him to give
away Python code every so often? Read the entire interview here:

=== Launchpad interview with Adam Olsen(Exaile) ===
The Exaile media player began life as a clone of Amarok but developed
for GNOME rather than KDE. At that time, Adam felt that Amarok was a bit
buggy despite the qualities it had. First hosted on his own servers, he
moved to Launchpad when his server was hacked. In this interview Adam
describes some of his interaction with Launchpad, and what he likes
about it. Read the entire interview here:
http://news.launchpad.net/projects/exaile-media-player
=== Launchpad 2.1.12 released ===
Just released, Launchpad 2.1.12, and two exciting new ways for other
services to use data in Launchpad. Included are the bug plugin API, and
plugins for Bugzilla and Track. The API plugin allows you to create your
own plugins for other bug trackers. Also included is the Drupal modules
for launchpad that let you use Launchpad to authenticate your Drupal
sites visitors, and assign Drupal roles based on someones Launchpad team
memberships.
http://news.launchpad.net/releases/launchpad-2112-new-bug...
=== Preparing for signed PPA's ===
Personal Project Archives are getting the ability to have signed
packages. Instead of having individual private keys on file with
Launchpad, or creating one key for all the packages, Launchpad is
generating new keys for each archive and then signing each build made
from the time of the keys creation. It will take some time to generate
all the keys so, for a while, some packages will have keys and some
won't. Check your PPA overview page to see if the key for your PPA has
been generated yet.

=== Launchpod episode #14: Drupal Modules ===
Stuart Metcalfe talks about the Launchpad Drupal modules. Please see the

== In The Press ==
* Ubuntu-sponsored FOSScamp builds community - The week-long Ubuntu
Developer Summit (UDS) meets every six months at changing locations to
discuss what will be included in the next Ubuntu release. The mostly
unheralded FOSScamp always meets the weekend before. FOSScamp has no
program, no invited speakers, and costs nothing. It has been compared to
a sort of geek Woodstock but smaller, where the Ubuntu hip just show up.
With a blank whiteboard in the lobby, anyone can pick up a marker and
schedule a presentation. The speakers are self-selected and
self-proclaimed, but not every available slot gets filled with a topic
because a hot topic may not have much scheduled against it. Article
author Robin Rowe tells us, "I've spoken at many open source conferences
-- Open Source Days, FOSDEM, GUADEC -- but being able to invent sessions
in the moment, and to experiment with session topics was new to me, and
freeing." During the two days of FOSScamp, Robin led twice as many
FOSScamp sessions as he would at a typical conference.

* Java Performance: Ubuntu Linux vs. Windows Vista - Have you ever
wondered on what operating system Java works the best? Phoronix ran a
number of Java benchmarks on both Windows Vista Premium and Ubuntu
Linux, to see how the Java Virtual Machine performance differs. Phoronix
also tested both Sun's official Java package as well as the OpenJDK
alternative when running Ubuntu. The Java tests they ran included
Sunflow Rendering System, Bork File Encrypter, Java SciMark, and the
Java 2D Microbenchmark (j2dbench test profile). All tests were run on
the Phoronix Test Suite, though on Windows Vista they had to be run
manually. Java on Ubuntu was pretty much the hands-down winner compared
to Microsoft Windows Vista Premium SP1. Running the Java tests on Ubuntu
showed significant advantages when it came to file encryption, Fast
Fourier Transforms, Successive Over Relaxation, Monte Carlo, and the
composite Java SciMark performance. The six tests didn't stress all
areas of the Java stack, but it provided a brief look at where the Java
performance is between Ubuntu Linux and Windows Vista.

* One Linux to Rule Them All? - techradar.com has an interesting
interview with Jeremy Allison, leader of the Samba project. Of interest
is Allison's assertion that Ubuntu, thanks to its unparalleled
popularity and huge user base, has the strongest chance to take Linux
mainstream. Author Christopher Tozzi, agrees. Ubuntu is making
significant progress where other distributions have failed for ten
years: namely, consolidating the resources of the free-software
community into a single Linux distribution that has enough users and
developers to present itself to those outside the IT world as the
pre-eminent representative of the Linux community. Ubuntu has managed to
make itself almost synonymous with Linux, at least for non-techies.
Simplification, is what Linux needs if it aspires to take over the
desktops of the world. Ubuntu's dominance doesn't mean that other
distributions can't exist or should become irrelevant, but there needs
to be one distribution that mainstream users can directly and easily
associate with Linux. Ubuntu may well prove to be that distribution.
http://www.WorksWithU.com/2008/12/15/one-linux-to-rule-th...
* ZaReason Preparing Ubuntu Servers - ZaReason, one of the best-known
companies developing Ubuntu desktops and notebooks, plans to introduce
Ubuntu server products soon. ZaReason CEO Cathy Malmrose mentioned the
server news to WorksWithU a few months ago, but details about their
server strategy remains sketchy. ZaReason briefly mentioned: "We will be
launching our servers on the site in Q4 2008", however, time is running
out in Q4. In some ways, ZaReason, and Ubuntu are going into uncharted
waters together. So far, Canonical's Ubuntu Server Edition initiative
has yielded mixed results. WorksWithU's 1000 survey confirms that
companies are embracing Ubuntu Server Edition faster than the mainstream
media reports. Ubuntu however is a work in progress for servers, and Sun
Microsystems is the only major server maker to endorse the Ubuntu Server
Edition so far. System76, another vocal Ubuntu proponent, sells Ubuntu
certified servers, and ZaReason's anticipated entry into the Ubuntu
server market should provide another moderate step forward for
Canonical's server strategy.

== In The Blogosphere ==
* Back from UDS - Blogger Stuart Langridge has returned from the
Ubuntu Developer Summit and tells us, "It was fascinating meeting
everyone and seeing it all up close." Stuart got interviewed by the
Ubuntu UK podcast team, caught up with a few people he hadn't seen for a
while, and lots of people he'd never met face-to-face. He threw together
a quick lifestream bit of JavaScript which would track a tag across
various sites, and it ended up on Launchpad. Langridge tell us that he
starts work for Canonical at the beginning of January, and he's really
excited because now he gets to help make the desktop he uses even
better. http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2008/12/15/back-from-uds
* Going Loco Over the Ubuntu Logo - Ubuntu is undoubtedly the most
popular Linux distribution at the moment. It has millions of passionate
users, and tons of dynamic community members to prove it. Some people
have taken their love for Ubuntu to the extremes. This blog posting
shows us pictures of the Ubuntu logo in many forms including tattoos,
hair cuts, bread, buns, cookies, cakes, soup, and more! Ubuntu fans will
enjoy reviewing the photos and adding links to their own versions of the
Ubuntu logo to the comments section at the bottom of the article.

== In Other News ==
=== Linux is a way of life, not a clone of windows ===
Locutus tells us "All too often I hear the phrase, if only Linux would
do such'n'such like Windows, then it would be more popular." Generally
those type of remarks only come from Windows users. People will try and
make Linux like Windows, but they don't get much support. The most
popular distributions are also the most Linux flavored ones. Linux is
more than just an operating system - it is a way of life. It does not
mean a way of life in the sense that you dress in technicolor tie dyed
clothes, give up on personal hygiene, and listen to bad poetry. Linux is
all about individuality, freedom of expression, and having control over
your computing environment. Linux is not a company with a goal to
capture market share. It is a labor of love by people who want freedom
of choice. Linux is not, and has never aspired to be a clone of
anything. If it does seem similar to other operating systems, that is
because that particular functionality is the best way to do it.
