Ubuntu Members Get Free LWN Subs
Good news, friends. From today Canonical is contributing a new benefit to Ubuntu Membership: a complimentary subscription to the rather glorious Linux Weekly News. Our friends in Debian have been doing this for a while, and we thought this could be an excellent gesture too.
To enjoy this benefit you need to be a member of the Ubuntu project. You can then follow this devilishly simple process to switch on your free subscription:
- Apply for an account at LWN by clicking here.
- Send a mail to my friend and yours Rachael at rachael.tripp (at) canonical dot com (preferably using your ubuntu.com address) asking for a subscription sponsorship. This email MUST contain:
- Your LWN username
- Your Launchpad username.
- Rachael will then go and double check you are a member and not telling porkies.
- You will receive an email when the subscription has been accepted and is ready to roll (or read).
More details about this and other membership related benefits are here.
Enjoy!

I am a member of Launchpad and I didn’t know I had an ubuntu.com email address! Where do I find my ubuntu.com email address?

This is for Ubuntu Members — simply using Launchpad or Ubuntu does not make you a member automatically.
See http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember for more information.
On the LWN side, very cool! Thanks Canonical and everyone involved! Sending in my info in a moment.

Thanks. This is appreciated.
FWIW, email addresses are trivially spoofable, so sending from an ubuntu.com address is pretty meaningless.
