[editar] Lanzamiento de la beta de Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

El equipo Ubuntu se complace en anunciar el lanzamiento de la beta de Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Long-Term support, soporte a largo plazo) para escritorio y servidor. La edición escritorio de Ubuntu 8.04 LTS incluye mejoras en las aplicaciones familiares, poniendo especial énfasis en la estabilidad de esta segunda versión LTS de Ubuntu. La edición servidor de Ubuntu 8.04 LTS continua los pasos de Ubuntu 7.10 añadiendo mayor soporte a la virtualización y mejoras en la seguridad -- habilitando AppArmor para más aplicaciones por defecto, mejorando la protección de la memoria del kernel contra ataques y soportando las tecnologías de KVM y iSCSI "listas para usar". Kubuntu, Xubuntu, UbuntuStudio, y Mythbuntu también se encuentran disponibles en estado beta.

[editar] Entrevista con Jerome Gotangco, antiguo miembro del Consejo de la Comunidad

This week the UWN interviews Jerome Gotangco. Jerome is from the Philippines and founder of the Philippines Team. Till recently, he was a member of the Community Council. Jerome is also the co-author of the upcoming book "Ubuntu Server in Action."

UWN: ¿Como te introduciste en el mundo de Linux y Ubuntu?

JG: I think it was around 1997 when I got my first real taste of Linux with a CD made by a local ISP, but I've read about it in the local magazines and BBS earlier. But it wasn't until 1998 that I did give Linux a spin in a dual Pentium Pro server machine and I couldn't really figure out what to do with it - I was a server admin that was given a task to eliminate NT and evaluate other systems that can be used as a file server. I was being trained with HP-UX so that I could support a test system and had some experience with AS/400 so some of the stuff was familiar.

I got exposed to desktop linux with Caldera Open Linux (yes, the one that eventually became SCO) and pretty much fell in love with it and checked out other stuff like Linux Mandrake, Storm Linux, etc. But I think the one that really impacted me the most was something that was based on Red``Hat 6.2. I think it was by VA Systems and it had Enlightenment and boy it looked really good. I must say from the start, I didn't buy much of the Free/Open source software philosophies but was more interested in the functionality that it provided. Like discovering the Lost City of Gold and couldn't think of what to do with all the stuff you just discovered. In an instant, almost all the software tools I needed to do my work were at my disposal and it started my career with F/OSS.

I was contributing small stuff to various projects that didn't really made an impact. I remember volunteering for KDE-zine and doing a bunch of skins for the OZ project (Open``Zaurus). I was particularly interested in embedded systems because my employer back then was an EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services) provider so I get to read sites and journals that involve embedded systems and a lot of it was talking about Linux and eventually stumbled upon no-name-yet.com (which eventually became Ubuntu). After Warty, I thought that this was a good project to get involved with and just went to the chatrooms and asked :)

UWN: ¿En cual de las diferentes áreas de la comunidad Ubuntu estás implicado?

JG: Oh I went to lots of areas early in the game. Having been part of previous developer sprints (Sydney and Paris), local initiatives and even some helping hand on little events like the Asia Business Tour, I've been exposed to a lot of parts into the community. I did writing for the Doc Team, seeing Edubuntu from the start, sorting out bugs in xorg (which really tested my patience), tried to do sync initiatives as well as bluetooth, weeding out bugs in LP, translating to Tagalog language, Lo``Co team, representing the project in a conference in Seoul, Laptop testing and even getting the unit for free (and its still under warranty), etc...I couldn't recall the rest. But I did make sure to see how everything mixed together in the end, either via the list or in IRC. My current LP page wouldn't give me justice anymore since I removed myself from a bunch of groups/teams to clean up my mail and wasn't doing much so no use of staying.

UWN: ¿Como te involucraste en el Equipo Filipino?

JG: I started it around 2005 I think with a short email to the PLUG (Philippine Linux Users Group) list. A bunch of people responded and were already Ubuntu users since Warty and there were people sending out CDs to those who couldn't get them at all. I asked jdub to create a list specifically for the team, as well as a domain name and some hosting space and got cracking on building a small site and a mailing list. I don't handle those anymore and it has pretty much grown organically to other areas like in the forums, etc.

The team isn't a strict team in the purest sense; I see it more as a bunch of guys from different parts of the country (the Philippines has over 7,100+ islands) who got into IRC and the mailing list and decided to group together and form a virtual team. I used to get the CD shipments but now Zak takes care of that. I rarely get the pressed CDs anymore as the iso works fine for me, although I did keep some CDs to which I know I have been involved with in one part or another as a souvenir.

UWN: What are the successes and failures that you have experienced in spreading FLOSS and Ubuntu in the Philippines?

JG: Being part of Ubuntu did open up opportunities for me to spread the word, but doing that is only the start and needs to be nurtured until there are others to fill up the gaps to make it possible. I believe that's one reason why local FLOSS initiatives do not prosper at all. It's quite different on the business side of things though. Outside Ubuntu, there are numerous locals involved with key open source projects in Apache-land and they are success stories in their own right. I had one real failure with regards to adoption in education and it really shattered my confidence level in doing something similar in the future, although I feel that it is more of a management failure rather than a technical one.

UWN: Was the view from the CC different? How?

JG: It was very different. I learned how things work in between groups (TB and CC for instance) and how it affects the overall community. CC isn't a very strict group and we always had open discussion on issues that come out and settle things quickly. I think the only issue we had in the CC was that we aren't the best in terms of scheduling of meetings. But then again, the CC isn't something that convenes just to approve membership - that's why in the recent meetings there were discussions on delegating membership approvals so that the CC can focus on governance issues and the direction of the project as a whole. We rarely had the chance to do those stuff and I think that is one of my regrets, although that wasn't the reason i stepped down recently.

UWN: Why have you decided to step down from the CC?

JG: It was all about time and I couldn't devote enough to have some sort of impact to the community and to the project as a whole. The Code of Conduct has something explicit regarding such situations apart from the popular ones like "Be Considerate," and "Be Respectful." And that is to "Step down considerately." Since I couldn't devote myself anymore to something I pledged in the past, there was no need for me stay any longer as there are more people now deserving to serve in a higher level like the CC.

I just sent a private email to everyone in the CC (Mark, Mako, Daniel, Matthew, James, Corey, Mike) and everyone took it well and gave their thanks. Half of the CC I know in person while the others I've worked with online since the beginning so it was very casual and simple. After that, I removed myself from the team and the list (which resulted to a cleaner inbox though lol).

I've always wanted to go back to basics again and start anew with the Lo``Co and since I've been travelling a lot in my home country lately, I want to make the most out of it and meet up with the people who are involved, or would like to get involved and just have fun in the process. And I'm pretty sure something good will come out of those trips in the future.

UWN: ¿Cual crees que ha sido tu mejor o mayor aportación al mundo Ubuntu/Linux/FLOSS?

JG: As Ubuntu literally changed my life as it opened up opportunities in my career and personal growth, I've always aimed to open up the same to people I know who deserve it. I've been pretty successful so far and I'd rather not elaborate (you guys know who you are). I believe this is far greater achievement than the technical stuff I made, documentation I wrote, bugs triaged, etc. I wish I could give out money to developers to do more magic, but I'll leave that to someone I know for now.

UWN: ¿Que más estás haciendo?

JG: I've busy lately with my employer Morph Labs, Inc. (www.mor.ph) on the SaaS framework built on top of a pure open source platform. You might want to check it out if you're heavily involved in Rails development or just starting to dive in. A lot of my work involve servers and making them do magic with Amazon EC2 and S3. Zak (Elep) is part of the team as well so I'm still within the Ubuntu Circle of Friends/Trust/etc.

Family life has been good too with my daughter just finishing prep school and moving up to Grade 1 next school year. A lot of stuff happened to me since last year it feels like living in dog years rather than Human years :)

  • Phoronix: Ubuntu Linux Disk Encryption Benchmarks - With the introduction of Disk encrytion in the Hardy alternate CD, phoronix decided to do some bench tests to see how real-world performance was impacted in both gaming and other desktop tasks. These Linux tests included Enemy Territory, Doom 3, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, LAME encoding, Gzip compression, and measuring the time to copy 364 images (amounting to 1.3GB) from a USB flash drive over to the hard drive. Depending upon the situation, the performance impact of using dm-crypt will vary, but for mobile users with sensitive or just personal information, hard disk encryption is becoming a necessity and its benefits should out weigh the small performance impact. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_hdd_encrypt&num=1
  • Ubuntu's Hardy Heron Receives Its Beta Wings - The latest version of the desktop and server software, which takes about 25 minutes to install, has a full suite of software including the Firefox browser, Open``Office with Word Processor, Spreadsheet and Presentation, the Evolution e-mail and calendar system, a CD/DVD burning software and the latest version of GNOME. This particular upgrade is certified a Long Term Support (LTS) release -- only the second for the Ubuntu project, which means Canonical will offer commercial support for five years on the server and three years on the desktop. The Ubuntu operating system has quickly become one of the more popular Linux-based offerings because the main development focused entirely on the desktop experience, instead of the commercial server environment. With so many enthusiastic people in the community, the software is under this rapid, progressive development. http://www.technewsworld.com/story/Ubuntus-Hardy-Heron-Receives-Its-Beta-Wings-62251.html
  • What is the outlook for Ubuntu Server? - Is Ubuntu getting ready to make a big splash in the Linux server market, just as it has on the desktop? Blogger Matthew Mc``Kenzie thinks so. In his article, “Ubuntu Eyes The Linux Server Landscape”[1], he notes that Ubuntu Server is making moves that position it well to compete in the small and midsize business market. Mc``Kenzie also cites the release of Landscape — a systems management tool for Ubuntu desktops and servers — that reduces the complexity of similar tools for Red Hat and Novell enterprise systems. There are also deals involving Ubuntu Server with IBM and possibly Sun that signal further forays into the server market. http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=185 [1]http://www.bmighty.com/blog/main/archives/2008/03/ubuntu_eyes_the.html
  • Sun distribuirá servidores con Linux Ubuntu preinstalado - Ubuntu está creciendo y se nota en todos los sitios. Canonical, que desarrolló esta versión de Linux, ha estado muy ocupada tratando con los mayores vendedores de servidores y equipos de escritorio y está haciendo avances con ambos. Sin embargo, una de las mayores sorpresas es que Sun Microsystems, vendedor de servidores, está entrando en el juego de Ubuntu. Sun también ofrece distribuciones Linux de Novell y Red Hat, pero la inclusión de Ubuntu es una muestra del poder de esta distribución. Sun está firmemente unido con Solaris, pero piensa que bien sonaría "Sun-adquiere-Ubuntu-Linux" a los compradores. Entonces habría una competencia real en el mercado de Linux--competencia basada en la calidad del producto, y no en un soporte barato.http://www.cnet.com/8301-13505_1-9897872-16.html

[editar] What Are You Doing For Document Freedom Day?

The Free Software community has a certain level of “activist” within it, always pushing those around it towards the ideals that it cherishes. Ideals such as freedom of communication, freedom of data, freedom of choice. March 26th is Document Freedom Day, another occasion where we can band together and help promote Open Document Standards. Document``Freedom.org is a site that works to promote the use of Open Document standards. To find out how you can participate this year, visit http://documentfreedom.org/ There you'll be able to find a team (or start a team!) near you. Even if the best you can do is blog about it, please feel free to do so. One more person reached is one more “Open” mind. http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/03/22/what-are-you-doing-for-document-freedom-day/
