.intrepid alpha 2.

Ubuntu 8.10 (code name Intrepid Ibex), scheduled for final release on October 30th 2008 is moving forward to the absolute greatest software of the Open Source Community.

The Intrepid Ibex Alpha 2 (July 10th), is the second alpha release of Ubuntu 8.10, which, along with the very new improved features (package merge from Debian, also with brand new packages and heavy upgrading of the existing ones, Xorg - X11R7.4 with new and upgraded modules, apps/utils/drivers/libs, featuring xserver 1.5 - currently RC5 ), runs on 2.6.26-3.9 kernel, based on 2.6.26-rc8 (2.6.26-rc9 soon). The new kernel, announced on 13 Jul 2008, by Linus Torvalds, along with its stable release has many improvements from 2.6.25 (including EXT4 new - experimental - features, built-in support for remote KGDB debugging, new KVM ports and USB Video Class driver, build-in-kernel memtest, /proc/pid/mountinfo, read-only bind mounts, wireless mesh networking support, security= boot parameter, and much more stuff), along with lots of driver additions and some architecture-specific enhancements. Oh, let's not forget about the Kernel Hacking make options, where you can configure and test some of the new features.

However, there still is massively increased video drivers instability, so, while this still is an alpha release, you are advised not to install it on production machines. In the meanwhile, you can report bugs through the Ubuntu bugtracker. : )

.floss camp 2008.

Grupul pentru Software Liber (GSL) va organiza o tabără în cadrul căreia se va dori reuniunea comunităților de software liber din România. Considerăm că schimbul de opinii și comunicarea între simpatizanții mișcării Open Source sunt foarte importante în dezvoltarea acestui fenomen. Sperăm că această întâlnire va consolida atât relațiile dintre contribuitori cât și dintre utilizatorii de software liber.

Tabăra FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) va avea loc la Păltiniș, în zilele de 29-30-31 August 2008.

Oricine este încurajat să se alăture acestei tabere, ce va fi una deschisă (precum orice eveniment organizat de Grupul pentru Software Liber), fără obligații suplimentare.

Pentru mai multe detalii, vă rugăm să consultați pagina dedicată acestui eveniment, ce va fi actualizată pe măsură ce vor apărea lucruri noi legate de organizarea și desfășurarea taberei (spre exemplu, lista participanților la eveniment sau alternativele de transport).

Vă așteptăm cu brațele deschise la cea mai liberă tabără din România!
