It seems there is a long standing tradition to post a “Hello Planet” entry when being added to a new planet.

Well Hello http://planet.debian.org , My name is Brandon Holtsclaw, and have done a bit of Debian and Ubuntu work over the last few years ( and hopefully will continue to do-so ). Only my posts taged with “planet-debian” are fed here so hopefully I wont spam totaly “unrealated to debian” things. Thanks Mako for getting me all setup.

If you would like to see all my posts or know a little bit more about me you can follow these few links ( or drop me an email ):

Inspired by the xkcd webcommic below, the guy over at VirtualRoadside.com came up with this HACK ( not used as redefined by modern language as a Script Kiddie, a true Hack(er) )

Very cool, I only have one word: Classic

The UbuntuWire Server Development Team is pleased to announce the resumption of the UbuntuWire Community Network, with the introduction of people.ubuntuwire.com and qa.ubuntuwire.com The UbuntuWire community has reorganised, and expects to be able to provide additional services in the future.

people.ubuntuwire.com provides local accounts for all Ubuntu developers, with limited web hosting and job scheduling on an Ubuntu 7.04 server. This resource is intended as a base for collaboration and sharing of simple scripts, interesting data files, and similar information in support of Ubuntu development.

qa.ubuntuwire.com provides access to regularly scheduled runs of many of the automated Quality Assurance scripts available, and is expected to be a useful resource in ensuring the overall quality of future Ubuntu releases.

About the UbuntuWire Community Network

The UbuntuWire Community Network was first established in February 2006, providing multi-architectural build services for Ubuntu developers, has been hosting REVU since August 2007, and introduced an Ubuntu-specific Google powered search engine in October 2007.

UbuntuWire grew out of a desire to provide a single set of static resources for Ubuntu developers, that otherwise is distributed over a wide variety of hosts, with different update rates and different levels of stability. By coordinating the administration of available servers, and providing consistent linking to recommended services, UbuntuWire hopes to fill the gap between what Canonical Ltd. is able to provide for the Ubuntu development community, and what is needed for an efficient workflow.

UbuntuWire is growing. If you would like to sponsor additional equipment, or facilities in which equipment could be hosted, please contact the UbuntuWire Community Development Team at community-development@ubuntuwire.com.
