Introduction to Planet Ubuntu 2 Comments
Hello! I’m Sense Hofstede. Yesterday I was approved as an Ubuntu Member during the Ubuntu Membership EMEA regional approval board meeting. I’m very happy and the support I received was heart-warming. You may not know me, so let me introduce myself first.
Activities
Most people know me as a member of the Ubuntu Bug Control team, which [...]
Snow stops public life in the Netherlands Comment
You may or may not have wondered why I was online for the most part of the day yesterday. Because it was a regular schoolday, the last regular school day before the Christmas Holidays, in fact. It was because in the North of a country where most people are already exited if there lies just [...]
To the Greek sun! Comment
The last two weeks were busy. Although I’ve started with getting Ubuntu Wanted in shape again and began a new programming project which I want to use to learn techniques used for developing Ubuntu desktop programs, most of the time had to be spent on school. Several teachers demanded reports and essays to be delivered [...]
Great way of starting with bug triaging Comment
Recently I’ve joined the Ubuntu Bug Control team again. I’m not even close to bug triaging superstars like Pedro Villavicencio, but I’m contributing my small share.
A good way of finding tasks to work on is the list of packages without direct subscribers — people that watch a package for new bug reports and keep it [...]
Back from France and Germany Comment
Yesterday at about 19.15 we returned home after a two week holiday in Île-de-France and Bavaria.
We mostly went to France to see Paris and Versailles. Next to two trips to Paris — including the Louvre, free for citizens of the European Union under 26 and everyone under 18, €9,- for adults — and one to [...]
A few notes on Ubuntu Wanted before another holiday 4 Comments
Yes, that’s right. I’m off again for another holiday. This time it’s two weeks, rather than one, and it’s abroad. We’re going to a camp site near Paris in the first week and to a camp site at the edge of a lake in Southern Bavaria. We will depart tomorrow, early in the morning.
Since desktops [...]
Holiday time! Comment
I’ve already been free from school for a week — longer if you count the week when we only had to go to school once of the year closure and the usual other free days during the last weeks before summer — but now we’re going on holiday.
We’ll be sailing the lakes near Grou for [...]
Why I feared Mono 1 Comment
Let’s just add another blog to the growing pile of posts about Mono. Adding something to the more positive tone the debate got lately can’t be bad.
For a while I also was a kind of anti-Mono. Not anymore, although I’m certainly not pro-Mono; I now see the framework as just another framework that you can [...]
Off to Paris! Comment
Tomorrow 6 ‘o clock in the morning, CEST, we will depart to the beautiful city of Paris with school. I won’t be accessible until we return back in Leeuwarden at 22:00 on Saturday. Of course I won’t be only immeadiatly. If you need me you can always mail me, but don’t expect to get a [...]
A slick looking desktop is possible on Ubuntu! 3 Comments
Yeah, your probably already knew that it’s possible, but for the first time I can honestly say I succeeded in achieving that goal myself. At last I’ve got a clean desktop that can compete with and even defeat the RC of Windows 7 that’s busy taking way too much space on my hard-disk at the [...]
