Identi.ca

I recently signed up to Identi.ca (around Monday evening GMT).

Basically it's like Twitter but it's Open-Source, and has a large following from the Ubuntu community, a lot of the members from the Forums are on there too :) As well as being open-source, it supports OpenID which means you can use 1 login across multiple websites (read the link for more info).

In all I actually prefer it to Twitter (I deleted my Twitter account). You can find me at http://identi.ca/Joeb454

Ubuntu Membership

So people can become Ubuntu Members (as I'm sure the title of this post suggests, and many of you reading this will probably already know).

If you want more detail, I'm too lazy to explain, so you can visit the webpage detailing the process here. Basically it gives you recognition within the community, and entitles you to an @ubuntu.com email address amongst other things.

I've already signed the Ubuntu Codes of Conduct (CoC), so I figured I may as well try for membership. I figured I'll try the next time it comes up (the next EU meeting is tomorrow, and I wouldn't be able to make it). They require you to have a wiki-page as well, so I've even had to delve into the wicked world of wiki-editing ;)

Wiki Editing

It's not as geeky as it sounds. Purely because it isn't Wikipedia :)

Instead it's on http://wiki.ubuntu.com as I figured it'd be an easy way to get a little bit more involved in the Ubuntu community, without knowing how to get the program code and contribute through development.

I added a wiki page for myself, which can be found here.

On another note - I will be posting up my Pro's & Con's of Blu-Ray Vs HD DVD in the coming days.
