    So this is like some kind of teaser or something, right?

    <

    p> Could you disclose the /nature/ of the announcement, perhaps?

      In hopes of getting the rumor mill spinning:

      1) Launch of the new LoCo communty portal he mentioned on his blog a few weeks back. 2) Hes been invited to the White House to help Obama get Ubuntu installed. 3) LUGRadio is being resurrected and will be syndicated on the US radio waves by Clear Channel 4) Hes found his 4th horseman. RMS will use his polyglot skills to lead the Ubuntu Translations team. 5) They’ll be expanding the Global Bug Jab event in February to be an Interplanetary Bug Jab event, when the Astronauts and Cosmonauts on the International Space Station, contribute their 5 a day. 6) Theres no real announcement. Jono just wanted to test if I’d actually digg a blog post that has NOTHING in it.

    Will announce that he is getting married. But not in California, because that type of marriage there has been repealed.

    Hopefully, he’ll announce that Ubuntu sucks, and everyone should use Debian instead.

    it can’t be Ubuntu related, it’s not orange or brown. D:

    the colours slightly remind me of the Gnome website.

    Well, not many Konqueror users here as it seems… so now let’s guess: todays Nokia PR about Qt being relicensed under LGPL? Kubuntu ppa repo featuring KDE 4.2 RC1? Or just Jono announcing his new book :)

    If you crank up Enslaved by Pain to 130 db and head bang appropriately the image becomes very clear.

    You have to put yourself in the authors shoes sometimes to understand his muse.

    Great work J.B.!
