Happy Thanksgiving!

With great sadness, one of the original hosting services of the web is shutting down tomorrow due to internal Yahoo! budget cuts.

Until the cutoff, you are free to download your site onto your computer. All data will be deleted after the cutoff, though.

The Archive Team is attempting to save as many pages as they can from Geocities before the lights go out on the service.

Mashable has a great article on this event: http://mashable.com/2009/10/25/geocities-closes-2/

XKCD has also altered their site to emulate a… badly well designed Geocities website (It nearly froze Firefox): http://xkcd.com/

XKCD murdering Firefox

Ubuntu Global Jam is a event, organized by individual people or LoCo teams for their area, held on October 2-4th of every year, where individuals of the community come together and collaboratively contribute to Ubuntu in your own way. Bug triaging is just one, there are many topics that you could handle. Many things, often great, get accomplished at these events.

The Wiki page on the topic can explain it better than I ever can: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam

The Ubuntu Forums Unanswered Posts Team convened on September 26, 2009 to discuss the following issues:

• Future Of The Team;
• Activity within Ubuntu;
• Team Communication

The meeting was chaired by team leader Hellow (Collin Pruitt), and took (approximately) 45 minutes. The meeting took place in the team channel #ubuntuforums-unanswered and 5 team members participated.

We welcomed two new members, starcraftman (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/starcraft.man/) and zvacet (https://edge.launchpad.net/~zvacet), into the team.

There was a policy change: All members are strongly suggested to subscribe to the team mailing list, which can be found on our Launchpad page.

Purging of the team IRC channel access lists of inactive members, as planned, will occur later on after the meeting.
