Ubuntu is part of the Google Code In



Yesterday I received an email that make me happy! I received an email from an Ubuntu Mail list, that was almost dead. In few words, the email said Ubuntu is going to be part of the Google Code In . This are great new!

But why I have a lot of interest that Ubuntu is part of the GCI?

Well. the first time I listen about the Google Summer of Code and Google Code In, was on 2010. Ubuntu was part of the GSOC and I was on college, months later the GCI began, unfortunately I was to old (18 years). So I began my work on trying to be part of this program. I tried on 2011 and failed with KDE, 2012 with New Vision for Public Schools and in 2014 I finally did it with the BeagleBoard.org!

This year I help the BeagleBoard.org as a co-mentor and I'm planning to help Ubuntu for this Google Code In as a mentor. For my surprise I have an old friend working on this, the great José Antonio Rey. If you want to help join the irc:#ubuntu-google on freenode  or the mail list: ubuntu-soc mailing list

What is Google Code In?

The Google Code In is an invitation to  pre-university students ages 13 to 17 to take part in Google Code-in, a contest that introduces young minds to the world of open source. With a wide variety of bite-sized tasks, it’s easy for beginners to jump in and get started no matter what skills you have.

Actualizar de Ubuntu 14.04 a 16.04

Ya ha pasado vario tiempo, desde que estoy trabajando con la versión LTS Ubuntu 14.04, pero creo que ha llegado el tiempo de actualizar a la nueva versión LTS 16.04. Las principales razones, son que necesito trabajar con el nuevo kit de desarrollo de java 1.8 y no hay soporte oficial para la versión open source en 14.04. Aparte que nunca me sentí muy conforme con dicha versión, considero que hubieron anteriores mejores. Esta es una guía, que les permitirá migrar de Ubuntu 14.04 a 16.04. Paso 1: Aseguremos que estemos con las ultimas actualizaciones instaladas. Si tenemos una versión en español, saldría algo parecido a la imagen siguiente. Paso 2:  Abrimos la terminal, e insertamos el siguiente comando: sudo update-manager -d Saldra algo parecido a esta imagen. Le damos click al botón de actualizar. Nos aparecerá una ventana titulada "Notas de la versión" Despues de eso le damos click en actualizar. Después del botón de actualizar, nos aparecerá u

Adding Users to Existing Groups in Ubuntu (Oneiric Ocelot)

Hi have been working in Virtual Box, this days and need to add my user to the vboxusers group. I was going to do it graphically, and suddenly I notice that the application I use for doing this job it disappear. :( So I have to use the CLI If you know the group just do this Steps sudo usermod -a -G GROUP USER where -a means append. Add the user to the supplementary group(s). Use only with the -G option. If you want to read more about the usermod do man usermod If you don't know the group Steps groupmode 2 TIMES sudo usermod -a -G GROUP USER If you see the only difference is that you type groupmode and press tab 2 times and all the groups will be display. HOPE it works
