Quetzal is taking flight & update on Ubuntu secure boot plans

Melamut explains that Canonical's first decision was EFILinux boot loader, but then had an opportunity to discuss the GRUB 2 licensing concerns with the Free Software Foundation. Following this meeting with the FSF, Canonical felt their concerns were addressed, and the decision was made stay with GRUB 2 ,which will be used in Ubuntu 12.04.2 and Ubuntu 12.10 by default.

Amazon search results in the Dash
Mark Shuttleworth discusses the recent change to the Unity Dash for the development version of 12.10, to display search results from Amazon, writing that it "makes perfect sense to integrate Amazon search results in the Dash, because the Home Lens of the Dash should let you find *anything* anywhere. Over time, we'll make the Dash smarter and smarter, so you can just ask for whatever you want, and it will Just Work."
Shuttleworth goes on to respond to some of the main questions and comments from people since this change made it into the 12.10 release, including "Why are you putting ads in Ubuntu?" "I want to control what is searched on the Home Lens" and "This is just a moneymaking scheme."

Olli Ries, a Director of Technology at Canonical, writes about the change in this mailing list post: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-September/035905.html
Jono Bacon, the Community Manager at Canonical, writes on the changes in his blog: http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/09/23/on-the-recent-dash-improvements/

Desktop Linux: Has Ubuntu's Unity Surpassed the Mac?
Bruce Byfield of Datamation leads us through Ubuntu's journey from 2008 when "Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu and Canonical, challenged the crowd at OSCON with the following question: Can we not only emulate, but can we blow right past Apple?" through today.
Byfield also includes Ubuntu vs. Mac comparison:
Launcher vs. Dash
Ubuntu Dash vs. OS X Finder / Spotlight
Byfield concludes: "If you value an interface for its configuration options and its ability to meet the needs of users with varying degrees of experience, then you are more likely to conclude that Unity still has a ways to go before it can match much less overtake OS X."

Quetzal is taking flight & update on Ubuntu secure boot plans

Following this meeting with the FSF, Canonical felt their concerns were addressed, and the decision was made stay with GRUB 2 ,which will be used in Ubuntu 12.04.2 and Ubuntu 12.10 by default.

Amazon search results in the Dash
Mark Shuttleworth discusses the recent change to the Unity Dash for the development version of 12.10, to display search results from Amazon, writing that it "makes perfect sense to integrate Amazon search results in the Dash, because the Home Lens of the Dash should let you find *anything* anywhere. Over time, we'll make the Dash smarter and smarter, so you can just ask for whatever you want, and it will Just Work."
Shuttleworth goes on to respond to some of the main questions and comments from people since this change made it into the 12.10 release, including "Why are you putting ads in Ubuntu?" "I want to control what is searched on the Home Lens" and "This is just a moneymaking scheme."

Olli Ries, a Director of Technology at Canonical, writes about the change in this mailing list post: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-September/035905.html

DUID generated in the debian-installer environment is not copied into the installed system
DHCPv6 client will not time out and continuously retry to get an address
netcfg/use_autoconfig does not work correctly
The installer does not show in the mirror list if a mirror is IPv6-capable

Why we're number one for OpenStack
Kyle McDonald of Canonical informs us that the OpenStack Foundation has been launched recently, and highlights the role of Canonical within OpenStack development. Also, McDonald highlights why Canonical and Ubuntu are "number one" for OpenStack with the following assertion: "Ubuntu Cloud Archive, unique to Ubuntu, it gives users the chance to run new versions of OpenStack as they are released, with full maintenance and support from Canonical, in the Ubuntu OS, even if they want to stay on the last LTS release. The best way to build your OpenStack cloud is through the proven, rock-solid combination of OpenStack and Ubuntu."

Desktop Linux: Has Ubuntu's Unity Surpassed the Mac?
Bruce Byfield of Datamation leads us through Ubuntu's journey from 2008 when "Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu and Canonical, challenged the crowd at OSCON with the following question: Can we not only emulate, but can we blow right past Apple?" through today.
Byfield also includes Ubuntu vs. Mac comparison:
Launcher vs. Dash
Ubuntu Dash vs. OS X Finder / Spotlight
Byfield concludes: "If you value an interface for its configuration options and its ability to meet the needs of users with varying degrees of experience, then you are more likely to conclude that Unity still has a ways to go before it can match much less overtake OS X."
