Jokosher update

Jokosher fans, time for an update. :)

The 0.9 release was delayed for quite some time due to a nasty bug in Gnonlin which has now been fixed, and we awaiting the legend Hervey to make his Gnonlin imminent release with the fix in before we make our release. This delay has in-turn caused a delay in Jokosher development, but I have good news to share.

Jokosher HEAD is now unfrozen. Laszlo branched 0.9 and hacking is now continuing for 1.0. The roadmap for 1.0 is not decided on yet – there will be an IRC meeting to discuss what is planned sometime soon, but the main plans are getting the current current code mature and well tested.

We are screaming out for more people testing Jokosher, particularly the editing tools. When Edward release Gnonlin we are hoping to get some updated Gnonlin packages built for Feisty and then Feisty is an ideal platform for testing Jokosher – it includes the required version of GStreamer. If you are a Fedora bod, fear not though, Snecklifter has been working on packages for you folks too. :)

If you are interested in helping the Jokosher community, head over to our forums and get involved. :)

Ubuntu Open Week success

Ubuntu Open Week is done and dusted. Thanks to everyone who participated in giving a session, and thanks to everyone who showed up to the sessions. Its safe to say it was another huge success, lots of people in the sessions, bags of enthusiasm, stacks of great questions for our fearless tutors and seemingly a bunch of new contributors to the Ubuntu community.

The logs for each of the sessions is available on the main Ubuntu Open Week page – would be great to see the content there merged into FAQs for each of the different teams. :)

I am looking for success stories for the week – if you attended some sessions and are now becoming part of the Ubuntu community, or if you are an existing community member and the week helped you become more productive, do let me know. Send your success stories to me at jono AT ubuntu DOT com. :)
