Ubuntu in national Danish TV again

For the second time in less than two month, Ubuntu has appeared in national Danish TV.

In October the Danish LoCo team had the most insane month ever. We started the month with a big whole-paged article about Ubuntu in the largest Danish tabloid newspaper starring our forum moderator as an example of a Ubuntu user with children using it as well.

Next we had eight articles in various online medias Monday and Tuesday the week of the release – only with Danish perspectives on Ubuntu; the international news about Ubuntu are not counted!

Wednesday in the release week was the big day: National Danish TV (DR1), our equivalent to BBC,  had a 25 minutes show about Open Source, where a familiy of four tried Ubuntu in 14 days. They were really happy about it, and intended to keep it. I need not to say, that this show got us all VERY busy in the support forums and other places…

The greatness of a project

What is it that makes Ubuntu a great project and so successful?

The answers are many and not one particular thing is decisive, but the great community is definitely one of the main reasons. When I look at other international Open Source projects I participate in there are a great portion of dynamics in difference. In the Ubuntu project it is quite hard to keep up with all the interesting projects, the mailinglists and even the Ubuntu participants personally blogs about Ubuntu.

So what it is that makes it such a dynamic community? That easily makes myself spend 20 hours a week after normal work, my girlfriend and my family and friends?

Ubuntu server undersøgelse

Hvis du er bruger af Ubuntu Server Edition, så er din feedback ønsket af Ubuntu Server Team og Canonical. Canonical har netop lanceret en spørgeskemaundersøgelse, hvor de undersøger hvordan og hvor Ubuntu Server bruges, og hvad man synes der er vigtigt på den.

Spørgeskemaet kan udfyldes uanset om du bruger det privat, eller om du bruger Ubuntu Server professionelt på din arbejdsplads.

Ubuntu Nordic ?

The other day I went browsing to the other Scandinavian/Nordic LoCo sites and other pages to see how they were doing and if there were something I could learn from them. Not surprisingly there were.

However, some of the content I saw got me to thinking about the similarities between our countries and how that affects the way we each organizes ourselves in the LoCo teams. Sweden is by far the largest of the Nordic Ubuntu communities but their organizational structure looks much alike the one we are currently building in the Danish community.
