RHN style Satellite Server for Ubuntu
Hi, Is anyone working on an centralized server management system for Ubuntu? The basic functionality being distributing commands over groups of servers, checking patch levels remotely, centralized health-checks, and so on. In large install bases this is quite handy - and it would be great if it were possible to simply mirror the common repos and then farm them out internally (which can be done, but not easily enough that it's click-and-point). I am thinking of starting on some scripts to achieve RHN-style management of multiple machines, unless this can already be declared a solved problem?

More Ubuntu Wallpapers
Hi All, I've been wandering recently, why doesn't Ubuntu come with more wallpapers? It currently only comes with three wallpapers, all of which are made on the computer; whereas Windows XP comes with lots of very nice wallpapers, including actual photos. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here are a few examples (I home Microsoft don't hunt me down for this): http://img400.imageshack.us/my.php?image=autumnbi1.jpg http://img460.imageshack.us/my.php?image=azuldd6.jpg http://img507.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stonehengegj9.jpg http://img460.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tulipsvy3.jpg http://img460.imageshack.us/my.php?image=blissai9.jpg I am aware that because Ubuntu is free and open source, it would not be possible to hire professional photographers, but I expect that there would be some people in the Ubuntu community willing to donate photos which they have taken to Ubuntu. For example, if you went on holiday and took a picture of an important landmark, and the photo looked professional, the photo could be considered for inclusion in Ubuntu as a desktop background, if the photographer was willing to publish it under an appropriate license. An obvious way of getting pictures form photographer to developer is via art.ubuntu.com. The higher rated user uploaded photos should be considered by the developers for inclusion in Ubuntu. --- Alec Wright -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

How to join Google Summer of Code 2007?
I'm really really would like to join the Google SoC 2007, I have a lot of proposals in mind, and I have a strong confidence that I can prove them technically*. After 1 year of waiting, I can't elaborate how enthusiastically dead serious I'am. Anyone can help me how to join? Someone will donate a system76 computer for me, and I'm expecting them within 2 days, so I'll be very well equipt for the job. What are the mechanics of an Ubuntu SoC 2007 student, do I need to be a MOTU? * see my portfolio, http://joelbryanonsoftware.blogspot.com -- Stay away from Piracy, use Open Source. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Have you seen the timeline?[1] IIRC Google starts accepting applications by March 14th up to the 24th, so I think you'll have a headstart in getting all your rad project ideas into writing now :D What are the mechanics of an Ubuntu SoC 2007 student, do I need to be a MOTU? Just sign up to the main SoC site, wait until Google starts accepting proposals, then submit, then wait again. :P If and when you do get accepted, you will have to prepare your transcript of records for later submission (as that's the only way for students outside the US to validate with Google IIRC.) I don't think you even need to be a Ubuntu Member to participate, as long as you can really show your stuff to your would-be mentors. Which brings up the question: who in the community will be mentors for Ubuntu on this SoC?
