» I’m an official pitti fanboy!

Having one more of our europe’s morning martin pitt love conversations and jokes i was pointed to the pitti fanboys LP team, so i joined and get approved so now i’m an official pitti fanboy! What are you waiting, prove your fanboyism and make it official!

I simply love the Ubuntu community!

P.D: Should we create a ~dholbach-huggers team too?

» RE: repurposing Planet Ubuntu

Ok, there has been a lot of noise (again) about what should be in ubuntu planet, last time i wasn’t a member so i didn’t comment on the topic, but being that now i am here are my thoughts on the topic:

  • Planet ubuntu is and should be a window to the community: Some people read planet to be up to date on the technical news, but that’s what changelog stands for, and planet ubuntu (or our blogs) aren’t actually changelogs. So the idea of limiting the what should be posted or not doesn’t seem really fair to me
  • Ubuntu member represent the ubuntu community: All of us, being part of this community, an being officially recognized as members of it, gives us the representation of this community and for the people we are not just a lot of single people, we are the ubuntu community as a whole, so everything you said is taken as if it comes from the community especially if it is on one of the community’s communication channel, like mailing lists or planet. So we need to thing 3 times after post something on them since it won’t be treated as our own and personal opinion, but as the community one.
  • Respects saved Respects: Before doing something it will be a good idea to think “If someone do this to me, would i like it?” If not, please don’t, everyone of us have different opinions on different topic, but it doesn’t give us the right to challenge people and be unrespectful. And said that you can say whatever you want, just need to find the right way to do it and express your opinion, is better to say “i don’t think so, i think is better like this” than saying “What were you thinking? that’s wrong!”

I don’t want to create more discussion on it, i think planet ubuntu is fine as it is now, and nothing need to be changed but the attitude of ourselves.

» 5-A-Day

So, this week the number five will become significant, Daniel has made a purpose for the Ubuntu Community, so try to reach the goal, is not hard just to look 5 bugs per day (not to patch them, just work on them) you don’t even need to be a developer to join the goal, take a look at the wiki on how you can help. I will do my best effort, but as this week is a really busy one (or it seems it would be) i don’t know i will reach the goal, but my best effort is a promise!
