Short version: if you’re interested in learning what it takes to learn packaging, mark Thursday in your calendar. From now on Thursday is Packaging Training Day.
Based on our experience with initiatives like the MOTU Q&A Sessions, the Ubuntu Developer Week and Ubuntu Open Week, the Ubuntu Developer Community is offering the following training effort starting in April:
We rotate session times to make sure we cover all timezones:
So for April we’re very proud to announce the following sessions:
Do you want to give a session? Do you have questions? Would you like to request a session? Would you just like to hang out? Do you want to help out with translations? Head over to Packaging/Training and add yourself.
This is an effort by the Ubuntu Developer Community, if you can do something to improve it and help others to get the most out of it, help out. This is going to be what we make of it. Get involved now!

With the coming of Ubuntu 9.04, it was time for a change to this package. Our latest release now has a countdown timer.
You can see available options for countdown images at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown. Unfortunately, this third option being an iframe means that we’re unable to include it as an option.
The options available:
* Pick from 3 for the 4 images
* Set position
* Set size
* Set opacity
* Set visibility
* Even IE tested
You can grab the latest package at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal-releases/6.x.
Once installed, all the available options are listed in /admin/build/themes/settings/ubuntu-drupal. You can of course see a working example at http://sd.ubuntu-us.org/.
