Karmic Koala – The first Xubuntu with an alpha1 release

Ubuntu has released the alpha1 release for Karmic Koala (the release that will eventually be Ubuntu 9.10) today. What is more amazing is that this is the first release cycle we have released alpha1 for Xubuntu. Party time, again!

We would love to have people testing the alpha1 release, even if it is not stable yet for everyday use. If and as you find bugs, please report them as usually on Launchpad.

Have fun testing!

Ubuntu Member, finally

After many unfortunate events I am finally a Ubuntu Member. Thanks everybody for cheering me before and at the meeting. That and your kind words mean more to me than the Ubuntu Membership ever will.

Also hello everybody else reading Planet Ubuntu. Feel free to come and meet me online at #xubuntu on freenode or offline at Helsinki, Finland.

You are free to donate money to my beer fund or offer me free beer when met. Celebration!
