DRM Love!

Yes, I love DRM. I really do, I have been a hypocrite for years now and I have silently, in the closet, been supporting DRM.

OK, I am just kidding, don’t beat me up for that one ๐Ÿ™‚

Last week everyone seen and heard the joy in the community when not only Steve Jobs, but also Bill Gates renounced DRM. Someone on IRC said they always knew Bill had some sense. Well, Bill Gates, one of the amazing co-founders of the ever-so-lovable Microsoft has been toasted. His very own company turns him around and stabs him in the back, or was Bill lying out of his teeth? Microsoft has just launched “ReadyPlay.” ReadyPlay is their brand new DRM system. For a small fee, so they say, you can watch copyrighted material with Windows Media Player. OK, I am sick of talking about it, here read it, it is nuts.

Feisty Fawn Developers

The Feisty Fawn developers stopped by the house this afternoon to make sure I was doing my work.

Feisty Fawn Developers

The deer on the left is a young buck, we spotted 6 points through the scope, and no not a rifle scope, the one on the right is a young doe, the Feisty Fawns were probably at the base of the hill away from civilization to remain safe. So, buck plus doe equals Feisty Fawn developers, get it?

Don't forget help!

https://help.ubuntu.com & https://help.ubuntu.com/community are two more locations for instant support gratification. This is in response to Michael Stemle, Jr.’s post.

https://help.ubuntu.com is the system documentation that is already installed on your Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu and/or Xubuntu system.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community is yet another wiki, this time for the entire community to contribute their documentation to. So if you want to let the world know how you got something specific setup, head on over there and setup a wiki page.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com is more or less the staging area for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu development. You will notice a lot of things specific to development, artwork, specifications and such.

No matter if you work on the Community Wiki or the Development/Staging Wiki, there is a Styling Guide to follow. If Wiki hacking is your thing, you might be interested in the Ubuntu Wiki Team. They are a part of the Ubuntu Documentation Project and communicate on the ubuntu-docs mailing list and on IRC in #ubuntu-doc.

NOW! Calling all documentors! We need your help with content in the Edubuntu Handbook as well as the new Kubuntu System Documentation. The Doc Team utilizes DocBook XML however if plain text works for you, it works for me. You can always send the text files directly to me and after a quick run through I will manually put them to DocBook files. We work from a Subversion Repository so there are only a select group of individuals who can commit,ร‚ย  however anyone can check out, edit, and submit patches to ubuntu-docs(at)lists.ubuntu.com.

If anyone is interested in helping out, try and stop by #ubuntu-doc on IRC (chat.freenode.net | port 8001). Thanks everyone!
