Ubuntu Live
It’s the beginning of Day 2 here at Ubuntu Live in Portland, Oregon.
I got here at noon yesterday, and sadly missed the morning sessions for Sunday, but managed to make it to the afternoon sessions. I sat in on four sessions. The first was on using Flash and Flex for creating Cross-OS web based applications. It was certainly interesting, and depending on the availability of it, it could be a possibility for a Web-based UI for Deluge. The next session was on getting software into Ubuntu’s repositories. Although Deluge is already in universe, it was interesting to hear about the kind of things it take to get into main, etc. The third session was on AppArmor, which is a security method available for preventing applications from doing anything they’re not supposed to.
The last session I attended yesterday was on Ubuntu Mobile & Embedded. This was probably my favorite, as I’ve been very interested in the project since it was announced. Unfortunately, they didn’t have many screenshots or other visuals, but it was still fun to listen to Zimmerman describe what they had planned for the project.
I’ve also managed to get into OSCON, and will be attending a few sessions there. In particular, there’s one on GWT, which I’d like to make use of in Deluge. That’s all for now, I’ll be back later, hopefully with some pictures.
