I only got to stay for two talks, but what I saw was great!</p> <p>From the Ubuntu Kernel talk given by Pete Graner of Canonical, I learned a couple of interesting things about Ubuntu&#8230;</p> <p><a href="http://www.canonical.com/">Canonical</a> has teams that work on things other than the ubuntu kernel, including integration for OEMs like Dell and HP, maintaining <a href="https://launchpad.net">LaunchPad</a>, and distributing install cds. They are able to maintain a 6 month release cycle for Ubuntu by deciding to only fix those bugs that are truly critical and focusing on the goals decided at the Ubuntu Developer Summit.</p> <p><a href="https://one.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu One</a> allows you to back up any number of systems into the cloud.</p> <p>The folks at Canonical have created a <a href="http://mjfrey.blogspot.com/2009/05/hacking-android-on-ubuntu.html">version of android</a> that runs on Ubuntu Notebook Remix. It sounded like android uses some of its own version of libraries so a unique version of android had to be compiled to use those libs.</p> <p>I also saw Kirrily Robert give her <em>Standing Out in the Crowd</em> talk. If you missed OSCon 2009 or the Atlanta Linux Fest, you can check out her talk <a href="http://blip.tv/file/2400597">here</a>.</p> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:27:00 -0500 urn:uuid:a8be1bb2-4e93-428d-ab92-f18ac9daef82 Jessica http://www.jessirae.com/blog/articles/2009/09/23/atlanta-linux-fest-2009 android technology technology women ubuntu linux http://www.jessirae.com/blog/articles/trackback/12815
