opportunity for the Ubuntu community to unite together around a weekend
generally one month before the release of Ubuntu” and adds “you can look
at the current list and assist to one near from you, or just hangout
with your local friends. Ubuntu is a state of mind!”

=== Alan Pope: Fun with Btrfs on Ubuntu ===

Alan Pope details his experience using Btrfs on Ubuntu running on an HP
Microserver. Btrfs-specific features like being able to grow/shrink the
filesystem and RAID support were important for his use in the media
server. Alan reports that it was easy to set up, simple to expand the
filesystem, and equally easy to drop a disk out even while it was
online. He adds that he loves Btrfs.

=== Benjamin Kerensa: Ubuntu Documentation Needs You! ===

Benjamin Kerensa writes about a problem the Ubuntu Documentation Team
needs community help with before the upcoming documentation freeze. The
script used in the past to capture new screenshots is broken due to
changes in Ubuntu. Benjamin says that the team members don’t have time
to fix it and asks for help to patch the script.

or KDE to a Debian+Kubuntu Bug Squashing Party in Munich, an event that
is hosted by LiMux who are responsible for the Munich city rollout of

=== Mathieu Trudel: Implementing MTP on Ubuntu Touch ===

Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre tells us that he has spent the last few days
working on an implementation of the MTP protocol for Ubuntu Touch and
that he hadn’t touched C++ in about ten years. He says that MTP has been
progressing very nicely but not not everything is implemented and gives
some instructions on how to take a copy of his bzr branch and experiment.

Scott Gilbertson of The Register takes a look at what he says might be
the biggest change that Ubuntu will be making for some time, the move to
the homegrown Mir graphics stack in Ubuntu 13.10. Scott says that the
daily builds that he has tested still had Mir disabled by default and
that anyone wanting to try it should read through the list of graphics
drivers and Mir issues that he links to.

Linux versions “have become much more user-friendly, and hardware
support is excellent.”

=== Scammers appear in the public space, users recommended to avoid
Ubuntu Edge-like projects without Canonical’s official announcement ===

razvi announces, on iloveubuntu.net, that scammers are using Ubuntu
Edge-like products to make money from the project’s great success and
capitalization and warns users to stick to products announced on
ubuntu.com only because many of the other sites offer false funding
campaigns for unreal non-existent Ubuntu devices.

Joey-Elijah Sneddon writes that developer builds of Ubuntu Touch will be
able to receive over-the-air updates. Until now users have had to
manually flash updates. Sneddon also observes that the updates app
isn’t fully polished in that it lacks a progress meter.
