Just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10, which has been released today.

The video, by Canonical Design, gives a brief taste of the new version of the operating system I use on a daily basis.

All looking good so far…

I attended OggCamp at The Black-E (above), in Liverpool, on the weekend of 1 and 2 May 2010.

During the event, which was part BarCamp and part panel discussions (pictured), I led a session about WordCamp UK on the Saturday afternoon.

On the Saturday evening an enjoyable social was held at Studio 2 at Parr Street, a short distance from Black-E.

Many thanks to the organisers, particularly Dan Lynch, who was involved in the panels, and Alan Pope, who gave a couple of interesting Ubuntu related sessions, and the sponsors for a great weekend.

GNU/Linux distro timeline, covering 1992 to the present, and Unix history, which includes a Unix timeline spanning 1969 to now.

The explosion of Linux distributions over the past eight years or so is particularly eye opening.
