I've come to understand that Ubuntu communities (maybe much of FOSS communities in general) generally seem to work better as a meritocracy than a democracy. It took me a while to figure it out.

*I* am, as I think the reasons for U+1 existence and the team goals, as defined there, still make sense. But if anyone comes to me with new ideas that improve the team and, maybe more importantly,...
Yeah, I mean, there are some differences from MediaWiki syntax, which is what most people are used to, but the syntax is not really the problem for me. As long as the thing render pages and allows us...
About MoinMoin: I'm not sure when Ubuntu adopted MoinMoin to it's wiki, or what was the rationale. MoinMoin relies on files instead of storing data in a DB. My *guess* is that it was harder or too...
Done! :) Thank you for signing the CoC lol.
That page is ridiculously outdated, and I can't find the script I had used back then, which reads from LP and outputs moin-moin syntax... (But I will).
...
I have no idea why but I also struggled to get access to the wiki source today. It was not moin-moin hell, some SSO error I think. Anyway, I'm in now and I backed up all the old content so I can read...
Forgot to ask: Please close this poll, I'm not ending the team right now, I'll personally talk to each member first.
Thanks,

Hi Cariboo / Everyone,
IMHO, ISO Testing team is NOT doing what U+1 was formed for. The original idea was to gather enough people and ideas to move testing away from automated testing and...
Hey :) I had to step out of these last two cycles, for personal reasons. And I really missed it.
I've been reading some of the topics here once every two weeks or so, since October 16 2012. But I'm...
I have apparently fixed it here with:
sudo apt-get remove indicator-keyboard
sudo kill -s KILL $(ps ax | grep -i indicator-keyboard-service | awk 'BEGIN {FS=" "} {print $1}')
Then I remapped...
It's been a while.
Can anyone using SS help me confirm a bug before I post it on Launchpad (question mark). Yes, I don't have a question mark right now.
1) Open a terminal window;
2) Press any...
I voted for U+1 and to keep the content. U+1 (no release name) already makes it clear (IMHO) that it's not about support for users. It's cryptic enough for the everyday crowd.
If that is not...
Maybe U+1 sub-forum (current or archive) content shouldn't be indexed by Google at all, as it may provide nontechnical users with dangerous info... And that is easily doable via robots.txt, ...
Hey Cariboo,
I never really liked the idea of closing and restarting each cycle. Many bugs persist between releases, some concepts, workarounds, knowledge apply to all releases, etc. I'm very much...
Me too. I think this subforum has created sort of a community and its own culture and changing its purpose / communication might be a decision we will regret later if things, once again, change.
We...
Hey :) Sorry for disappearing, I had to take some time off and deal with personal stuff... I completely missed this cycle, but I'll be here for the next.
BTW, I own nothing, everything is free as in...
Ventrical has been around UbuntuForums for some years (3000+ posts) and he's *very* active in Ubuntu+1, always starting interesting topics and helping other users. He's also a member of the U+1 Team...
Stalkinwolf, if I could give you some advice...
Give up. Accept that some people can't use a PC at all or at the current moment, they have other priorities and problems and can't focus, act and...
I will not go into the full details, but there is a mysterious "pyramid" in my mom's laptop (in which I installed what I call "Ubuntu Senior Edition", also nicknamed "Ubuntu I hate Computers...
And that's precisely why I tell people I don't know how to use or fix computers. A large portion of my life consisted on fixing family / friends PCs again and again and again. At a point I started...
+1 from me. Cortman is knowledgeable, polite and friendly. His contributions to UF and ForumWikiTeam are solid. He definitely deserves it.

I have a Media Server at home (Ubuntu) running xbmc to three TVs in different rooms and 3 Streamzap USB Receivers at the top of each TV.
The USB Receivers are automatically recognized:

Maybe there already are robots among us.
We'll be in Blade Runner in a couple years :)

I'd love a robotic co-worker. I'd get to be the guy that always has something else going on, gets sick, does stuff wrong, waste time with silly jokes and pranks, spends the day drinking water and...
