The Ubuntu Linux community gets its first (second?) rock star
,----[ Quote ]
| You would think that it's a hard enough job taking on Microsoft's desktop
| dominance. Ubuntu's community lead Jono Bacon, however, may actually have an
| even more audacious goal in mind: completely change the economics of the
| music industry.

More From the Open Source Music Garage
,----[ Quote ]
| The thing many people don't realize is that successful musicians get most of
| their money from live performances, not album sales. Since the Severed Fifth
| album will be offered for free, sales of the album are irrelevant, and
| commercial success isn't a stated goal of the project. If Severed Fifth can
| simply create an enthusiastic community around an album, live performances
| might attract audiences and grow the community larger, though. It will be
| interesting to watch this effort.

Best Music Player For Ubuntu - Exaile?
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the reasons why I love Linux are music players. On Windows you get WMP
| 11 which is a decent thing to play MP3's however there is no support for
| fetching album art, lyrics and other stuff. The other alternatives aren't so
| so good either, iTunes is a resource hog (1GB of RAM to play Maddona, you are
| kidding!).

Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase is Born!
,----[ Quote ]
| Jono Bacon has announced the very first Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase!
|
| For a long time now we have been shipping a package called example-content
| with each release of Ubuntu. This package provides a bunch of different
| pieces of content including audio, video, PDFs, OpenOffice.org documents and
| more. The idea is that you can use this content to kickstart your new Ubuntu
| system and see what it can do. example-content has been really useful, but it
| has been languishing a little recently, and then we had a rather interesting
| idea…
