Launchpad News
Data mining in Launchpad
Inspired by trouble that users have had due to misconfigured grub configuration files, Brian Murray shares that Launchpad facilitates developers by letting them grab attachments from bug reports to analyze them locally with the lp-grab-attachments tool, part of the lpltools package. He uses the grub2 package as an example.

How bug information types work with privacy
Curtis Hovey writes that the current Launchpad beta adds information types to bug reports, a feature which is used to "determine who may [and may not] know about the bug". When a user files a bug they may select what security level the bug should be filed under.

Neil Richards of Muktware reports on the new "Gazelle" laptop by System76. "Today most laptops work with any Linux distribution out of box thanks to the work done by the Linux kernel developers.

Ubuntu One Vs Dropbox: Has Ubuntu One Lost The Personal Cloud Market?
Swapnil Bhartiya of Muktware does a review of Ubuntu One compared to several other available online storage options, including Dropbox, SkyDrive, Spider Oak and Google Drive. He notes that one "of the reasons Ubuntu One is not the preferred cloud for GNU/Linux users is that it's not available for other GNU/Linux distributions. Ironically it's available even for Windows (they are also working on a Mac client) but not for competing Linux distributions." Ubuntu developers claim that code is available and other distro developers can package Ubuntu one for their distrosbut Bhartiya argues that Ubuntu/Canonical is the one who shlould be in charge for packaging due to increment of Ubuntu one users.

Launchpad News
Data mining in Launchpad
Inspired by trouble that users have had due to misconfigured grub configuration files, Brian Murray shares that Launchpad facilitates developers by letting them grab attachments from bug reports to analyze them locally with the lp-grab-attachments tool, part of the lpltools package. He uses the grub2 package as an example.

How bug information types work with privacy
Curtis Hovey writes that the current Launchpad beta adds information types to bug reports, a feature which is used to "determine who may [and may not] know about the bug". When a user files a bug they may select what security level the bug should be filed under.

Ubuntu One Vs Dropbox: Has Ubuntu One Lost The Personal Cloud Market?
Swapnil Bhartiya of Muktware does a review of Ubuntu One compared to several other available online storage options, including Dropbox, SkyDrive, Spider Oak and Google Drive. He notes that one "of the reasons Ubuntu One is not the preferred cloud for GNU/Linux users is that it's not available for other GNU/Linux distributions. Ironically it's available even for Windows (they are also working on a Mac client) but not for competing Linux distributions." Ubuntu developers claim that code is available and other distro developers can package Ubuntu one for their distrosbut Bhartiya argues that Ubuntu/Canonical is the one who shlould be in charge for packaging due to increment of Ubuntu one users.
