UbuCons are a remarkable achievement from the Ubuntu community: a network of conferences across the globe, organized by volunteers passionate about Open Source and about collaborating, contributing, and socializing around Ubuntu. The UbuCon at SCALE has been one of the most successful ones, and this year we are kicking it up a notch.

The Ubuntu Community Donations Program in review

Tue, 14 Apr 2015 19:54:00 +0000

Nearly two years ago, the Ubuntu Community Donations Program was created as the framework behind the donations page on the Ubuntu site. Time to look back, listen and adjust.

With the Ubuntu Community Donations Program those individuals who download Ubuntu for free can choose to support the project financially with a voluntary contribution. In doing so, they can use a set of sliders to determine which parts of the project the amount they donate goes to (Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu for phone, Ubuntu for tablet, Ubuntu on public clouds, Cloud tools, Ubuntu Server with OpenStack, Community projects, Tip to Canonical).

Jono’s leadership, passion and drive to continually push the boundaries have been contagious over the years, and have been the catalyst for growing the unique community of individuals that defines Ubuntu today.

He is now joining the ranks of non-Canonical Ubuntu members, and while this will change the angle of participation, I’m certain that it won’t change his energy and dedication one bit. But most importantly, it’s a testament to his work that his former team will continue to thrive and take up the torch in pushing those boundaries.

In the Community team at Canonical we are already turning the engines to start laying out the plans for the 11.04 roadmap for translations.

For this, we really value your input and would very much like to take your ideas and feedback into account. Remember that this is about the translations community itself, it is not about requesting new features for Launchpad Translations.

If you’d like to participate and contribute in making our translations community even more awesome, you can do it very easily in any of these ways:
