After few months of inactivity (end of school year and exams, summer vacation, etc. …) our community is slowly resuming it’s activities with a meeting to be held in our IRC channel #ubuntu-tn Friday 27 August 2010 at 22:00 local time.
Pour ça troisième session, le Festival de la médina de Sayada s’offre une compagne publicitaire 100% libre. En effet, les affiches, le dépliant, les invitations et les banderoles publicitaires qu’on peut apercevoir partout dans la ville sont réalisés avec des outils libres et le tout sous Ubuntu. D’ailleurs, le thème des couleurs adopté peut vous renseigner sur la version utilisée de Ubuntu 😉
Ces œuvres, et d’autres encore, ont était réalisées avec les outils Inkscape et Gimp. Leur auteur, un membre du comité d’organisation du festival et un grand passionné du libre, me confirme qu’elles sont toutes publiées sous licence libre.

Le nom de code de la future Ubuntu 11.04 est annoncé par Mark Shuttleworth dans son blog et ça sera le Natty Narwhal. Une traduction possible est le Narval chic. D’après Mark
Being a natty narwhal, of course, means we have some obligation to put our best foot forward. First impressions count, lasting impressions count more, so let’s make both and make them favourable.
que je peux traduire ainsi :
Être un narval chic signifie, bien sûr, que nous avons une certaine obligation de partir du bon pied. Les premières impressions comptent, des impressions durables comptent plus, nous allons donc faire les deux et de les rendre favorables.
Une petite chanson [1] pour fêter ça et vivement avril 2011.

A few days before the release of the new Ubuntu, here’s a guided tour through the Ubuntu family album with some annotations telling my story with the different versions.
The first version of the Ubuntu distribution. For the history it was during a discussion between Robert Collins and Mark Shuttleworth that Mark has launched the name that will be adopted and adapted to any future versions of Ubuntu. Thus each version will have a code name composed of an adjective and an animal name.
March 2006 – The first time I heard about Ubuntu: One of my students brings me a bag with two original CDs, an installation CD and a live CD, and he tells me he got the CD free and they are sent home by mail at no charge. I take the live CD, I go home, but I can not find an equivalent to my very useful « Drakecenter » to configure the settings for my PC. I give up and I return to my sweet Mandriva.
Many first time for this version. The first version with a long-term support. The first version that lags behind the initial schedule of release (a release every six months). The first version that takes the name of a bird :p All the following versions will follow in alphabetical order.
November 2006 – The first time I install Ubuntu: I am in training in France, I was given a PC and allowed to install my own OS. I take my Mandriva DVD and begin the installation, but can not complete the installation … the system does not detect the SATA disk of the PC. A colleague hands me a CD written on « Ubuntu 6.06 » and asks me to test it. I install the system and presto, SATA disk detected and I find myself with my new GNOME desktop, all in brown and orange icons while. My colleague tells me that tomorrow will bring me the CD of the new version just released a few days ago and tells me that the new version brings a huge number of improvements.
November 2006 (continued): My colleague brought me back the CD, and presto new installation within 24 hours. During the installation my colleague introduced me to a spirit of this new distribution, its history, its advantages over others, etc. The installation is complete, the hard work starts: how to configure my machine and how to install my applications without my famous « Drakecenter »? With an internet connection available, my first (good) reaction was to ask my best friend (at that time – I mentioned google) to help me and obviously I found the website of the Francophone community. There a very big surprise… the documentation is freely available, forum registration is possible and it is free… (I say it was a surprise because at that time subscribing into the official forum of Mandriva was not free) long life to the free spirit, I am fascinated by this community and I joined it directly. Since that time I have not left my Ubuntu.
April 2007 – Community: I’m getting my bearings in this new distribution after years spent with Mandrake and Mandriva, and my « Drakecenter » (yes I repeat: p) don’t miss me more. Thanks to the forum and the documentation of the Francophone community all my questions (or almost) are answered. I discovered the concept of community and of course my first question was is are there a Tunisian community? Yes there is one, and it is two months old, but with no apparent activity (for now).
October 2007 – The community (bis): More and more e-mails circulating on the mailing list of our community and IRC meetings are held from time to time. Few days after the release of Ubuntu 7.10, ubuntu-tn community participates in the biggest FOSS event in Tunisia « Software Freedom Day – SFD ». Our community is within the landscape of FOSS communities in Tunisia and became one of the main actors.
The second version with a long term support, as the first LTS version the code name uses a name of a bird. For me it is the version that has the most beautiful wallpaper by default 
but not only that.
April 2008 – Purpose, approval of the community: Our community turns on more and more and we set a common goal: become an approved local community. The goal was reached July 22, 2008.
The Jackalope, an imaginary animal, had to find it 🙂
Ubuntu in the clouds.
and the story history will continue with:
The Meerkat light and social.
