Peng’s links for Monday, 10 November

• Calum Benson: End of an era… The developer site, usability.gnome.org has been moved to a wiki. Calum has all of the new links. I’m pointing you to his post because I see he’s already made one edit to his post and I want to make sure you don’t get outdated info from my post.
• Stormy Peters: Sneak preview of my talk next week: “GNOME as the computing platform for the future”. Stormy’s giving a talk a free software for business conference and she’s been kind enough to post a preview of it on her blog. If you want to see where GNOME’s heading her post is a great resource.
• Nick Ali: Ubuntu Podcast #11. Once again Nick has shown a resource that I can’t believe I hadn’t started using a while back. While it’s not an official podcast, Nick and Josh from the Ubuntu Georgia US LoCo give us some great info on bugs in Ubuntu and the slowdown that so many people are noticing in Ubuntu Intrepid. You can enjoy the podcast in several formats, including RSS, MP3 and Ogg Theora video, and they also have a link to subscribe to the podcast with Miro. I’ve installed Miro just to have it as a handy way to get the older podcasts and see what I’m missing.
• DesktopLinux.com: Ibex inspires GNOME switch. A long time KDE user was grabbing a disk image of Intrepid Ibex but accidentally downloaded the disk image of GNOME-based Ubuntu rather than the KDE-based Kubuntu. He tells the path he took to get testing it and why he ended up finding he rather liked GNOME better than KDE.
• Sense Hofstede: Idea #15442: Used hardware survey. I don’t usually post things I find on Ubuntu Brainstorm but Sense has such a great idea that I have to pass it along.
• Rubén Romero: Announcement: SpreadUbuntu 0.1 – codename “evan”. You may have heard of the SpreadFirefox site that was started to help promote Firefox 2, and the Ubuntu community has begun creating a site of mostly marketing materials to help you spread the word about Ubuntu Linux. It’s in the alpha stage, but there’s some great materials on it already.
