BTW, I have setup a feed of linux related news via google reader. You can: 1) Read it as part of LUGS's planet linux (http://planet.lugs.org.sg/) 2) Read my feed directly at (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/16851815156817689753/label/linux) 3) Access my feed as an atom feed at (http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/16851815156817689753/label/linux)
I'm mentioning this as I plan to cut down e-mailing news items to the mailing list: most of it will now appear via the feed instead.

[...] In this new free offering, individuals and teams can each have a PPA. With this, groups can collaborate on sets of packages, and solo developers can publish their own versions of popular free software. Developers upload packages to a PPA and have it built for multiple architectures against the current version of Ubuntu. Each user gets up to 1GB of Personal Package Archive space, which works as a standard Ubuntu software package repository. Free PPAs are available only for free ("libre") software packages. [...] The Launchpad PPA service is currently in beta. To participate in the beta program, would-be open-source programmers should send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Launchpad PPA Service will be released for general use on August 22, 2007 in-line with the regular Launchpad release cycle. The PPA Service will be available here (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas/). At launch, software in Personal Archive Packages will be built for x86 and AMD64 architectures. ===== -- Soh Kam Yung my Google Reader Shared links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/16851815156817689753) my delicious links: (http://del.icio.us/SohKamYung) my simpy links: (http://www.simpy.com/user/kysoh/links) _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
