Suivre la version de développement d'ubuntu

Beaucoup de personnes semblent se demander où trouver l'information sur ce qu'il passe sur la version de développement (actuellement oneiric ocelot, qui deviendra la 11.10 en octobre prochain). Cependant, c'est assez simple et Canonical ainsi que la communauté dépense énormément d'énergie[1] pour que tout le développement soit le plus transparent possible.

UDS Oneiric : c'est demain !

Demain débutera l'UDS Oneiric. Pour rappel l'UDS[1] est le lieu de rendez-vous de toute la communauté afin de discuter, planifier, décider quelles nouvelles fonctionnalités et quelles décisions seront prises pour le prochain cycle de développement d'ubuntu. Dans ce cas, Ubuntu Oneirc Ocelot (qui sera la 11.10). Pour cette édition, nous sommes tous à Budapest, Hongrie afin de travailler dur, discuter, mais évidemment ne pas délaisser la partie festive de l'évènement (oui, la bière coule à flot tous les soirs).

Lire les fichiers srt Résumons, le protocole UPnP, utilisé entre la freebox server et le freebox player, ne permet pas de lire les fichiers srt (ce n'est tout simplement par suppporté par le protocole).

Quickly 0.4.1 is out!

0.4.1 is a bug fixing release and will be the one in lucid final. It contains of course all the goodness of 0.4 version plus some bug fixes that early users encountered: remove ~/.selected_editor detection.

It's still possible to override the choosen editor with EDITOR or SELECTED_EDITOR environment variables. fix gpg key creation with no email address.
