As Ubuntu Hour is starting to be a regular occurrence in the Waterloo region, the next one will be happening on Wednesday, September 1, 2010 8pm. The location will be Whole Lotta Gelata, probably a good place in this current heat wave in Southern Ontario :)

Ubuntu Hour is an event which is very good for anyone to come and to ask questions about Ubuntu, exchange tips and tricks, and have a whole lotta fun. This particular event, we also will be talking about the upcoming Software Freedom Day (September 18, 2010) which we will organize an event which will be happening in the Kwartzlab. So if you have interest in this event, or even better, would like to contribute in the organization of the Software Freedom Day, please feel free to come to the Ubuntu Hour this week!

http://stackexchange.com, famous for http://stackoverflow.com, http://serverfault.com and http://superuser.com has recently decided to create community proposed and driven Q&A sites. Interestingly, this has lead to two proposals that have both gone into public beta now, http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com for Ubuntu questions, and http://unix.stackexchange.com for Unix/Linux questions.

The Ubuntu proposal went in almost record time through all the proposal stages, while the the Unix/Linux site did not. This caused quite a stir. Miguel de Icaza does not appreciate the efforts that Ubuntu performs in the Linux community. Miguel and people like him are exactly the reason why we need both sites.
