Pink Lemonade Sunset

I just snapped this shot tonight from Ogden. The colors are not represented accurately, but it is a nice shot. Looking at the actual sunset, "pink lemonade" was the first thought that came to mind.

Idea: Unify the Ubuntu name

Everyone agrees that Ubuntu is making huge progress towards mainstream adoption. But what do we mean when we say " Ubuntu "? Don't we really mean *buntu, a collection of all Ubuntu versions? How do we explain this to the mainstream user? Will the names " Kubuntu ", " Edubuntu " and " Xubuntu " make sense to a newcomer? Are they self-explanatory? I think we can all agree that these names are not easily understood by people outside of the Linux arena. Even worse, they will help to dilute the impact of the Ubuntu name in the minds of potential users. Therefore, if we want to encourage mainstream adoption, we need to use a simpler naming convention. Let's take a look at some existing names that are easy to understand: " Ubuntu Desktop Edition " " Ubuntu Server Edition " " Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded Edition " Why don't we come up with some new names that are easier to understand? Something like this: ...

What it takes to make Ubuntu ready for use

I recently installed Ubuntu 6.10 on a new PC at work. In this post I will document all the steps I had to perform to get it ready for everyday use. Each step is assigned a level of difficulty, which I define below: Very Easy Step can be completed without using the command prompt Intuitive to complete Easy Step can be completed without using the command prompt May require searching to find the right place to make the change Medium Requires a single command to be entered at the command prompt Requires searching internet resources to find the solution Hard Requires multiple commands to be entered at the command prompt Requires searching internet resources to find the solution Very Hard Requires multiple commands to be entered at the command prompt Requires searching internet resources to find the solution Requires the user to manually edit a configuration file These criteria are quite strict, because I believe that using an operating system should be intuitive, and not require any spec...

Synching the open source release schedule

Introduction Both Mark Shuttleworth and myself have discussed this idea before. Because Mark brought it up again in a recent interview, I feel compelled to developer this idea further. The main concept is that Linux distributions, and open source in general, have a lot to gain by synchronizing their release schedules. Positive impact on the image of open source Can you imagine the news articles that would be written if Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSuse all released a new version on the same day? Every six months, the world would see that open source has successfully delivered a new version on schedule. Mark Shuttleworth made a great point when he stated : "We know when the next LTS will be probably with better confidence than we know when Windows 7 will ship. I would take that bet." Once the distro releases become synchronized, it would create a huge incentive for upstream projects to synchronize on the same schedule. Currently, we have upstream releases happening all over th...
