Ubu(un)con-Boulder

By boredandblogging | Published: 2007-05-19

Ubucon-Boulder is a free, all-day gathering of Ubuntu-related demos, talks, chats, to show each other what *buntu can do, and Google's Boulder office (1433 Pearl) is where all the proposed action is.

Jim McMaster, a developer at Google and Leslie Hawthorn, of Google's Open Source Program Office in California are the gracious hosts for the venue of this unconference-like Barcamp. Due to space constraints, it will be a small gathering of around 20 people, and registration is first-come, first-served. You can register here !

Torrent team calling

By boredandblogging | Published: 2007-05-16

Andrea Veri has announced the creation of the MOTU torrent team, and they need your help! The torrent team will take care of and develop packages related to the peer-to-peer protocol called BitTorrent, while working closely with upstream. It’s also the bug report contact for all torrent packages in Launchpad.

They are currently interested in universe and main sponsorship and are looking for more packagers too, so if you are someone who is interested, ping Andrea Veri (bluekuja) on #ubuntu-motu-torrent on irc.freenode.net, or just apply to join the team in launchpad. As is the custom across Ubuntu you can keep an eye on them via their wiki page.
