Induction time …
Aha! You probably thought I was going to blog about Metallica’s impending Hall of Fame induction this weekend, but I’m not!
I want to talk about the Ubuntu Hall of Fame. This is the place where you can nominate people from around the community who have done great work. It’s not just tied to developers, it can be anyone – maybe that person who mans that booth every year at a show, or the person tirelessly translating applications, or maybe it’s the person that fixed a long standing bug that drove you insane. Just click on the “Nominate Somebody!” and give us a little write up on why you think that person is so special.
Nominate your hero today!
Since the Internet is basically worthless today I’m going to start a meme: Name a team or individual who you think has done an awesome job this cycle in the comments or your own blog. (Of course you’re going to nominate them if it’s one person right?) – my vote goes for the Debian/Ubuntu Mono team.
My hero is the Ubuntu Server team.
We use ubuntu server here at my job and they are doing a kick ass job at making a badass server install and setup. I like the new screen profiles and all the integration work that they had done for ubuntu server. So to the Ubuntu Server Team out there keep on kicking ass.
I really appreciate the outstanding work of the Dx team and everyone who contributed to the new messaging indicator system. My hero is Eitan Isaacson, who made the messaging indicator Python bindings for me.
I think the Pulseaudio team needs some love. It’s a thankless job (and I know I’ve been doing a lot of the non-thanking), but it seems to work better now than it did in 8.0.4.
