My friend and colleague, Amber Graner, lost her home to a fire this week. Luckily, the family wasn’t in the house at the time and no one was injured. Pete and Amber were at UDS, the kids were with relatives, and the dog was rescued from the fire.

Even if you have home-owner’s insurance, the immediate expenses add up as you scramble to get some necessities, including clothing, toiletries, food, and new housing. The Graner family is well-known in the open source community, and many of their colleagues and friends have expressed a desire to help them get back on their feet. I created a page for anyone who would like to chip in to help the Graner Family get some clothes and other necessities: http://granerfamily.chipin.com/the-graner-family

Every little bit helps.

Amber helps with the Ubuntu Weekly News and writes the Ubuntu News (among other things) in Full Circle. If you can, please donate something to Amber’s Chip-In page. As Rikki said, every little helps.

The next issue of FCM will be released when the contributions to the Graner fund rise.

Please donate, either that or something ‘nasty’ may happen to the next issue!

  • I post Ronnie’s idea and take all the credit for it :D
  • You guys come up with a selection of free and open source online games that we could play.
  • After a week or so, or after we have enough ideas, I’ll post again (on our forum) with a poll so we can vote for a game.
  • Once we have decided on a game, we’ll find a victim kind person to host a Full Circle tournament, then come up with some rules.
  • We’ll set up a leaderboard, and we can compete for the title of “Full Circle Gamer of the Month” (or a better title if you can come up with one).
  • The person that is leading at the time of the magazines release will be crowned with the monthly title we decide on.
  • At the end of the year, the person that has won the most months will get “Full Circle Gamer of the Year”!

We may also rotate the game each month, or every couple of months, depending on how it goes. If we do this we’ll create a new poll so a new Game can be decided on.

Put your game idea on this post here on our forum… 

Let the games BEGIN!  :D

You can hop on over to http://www.fullcirclemagzine.org/calendar to take a look or add us if you have a Google account. All times will be in UTC, so you will need to add/take hours as necessary.

Are you a keen podcaster?
Think you can create an interesting and friendly Ubuntu podcast?

Then why not submit a proposal to be the official full circle podcast?

Before you submit a proposal, read these terms! You would be creating a podcast using the full circle name so you must agree to:

  • the podcast should be created using only free software (the magazine is! we recommend audacity for editing)
  • the podcast should contain absolutely no swearing
  • the podcast should be aimed at beginner to intermediate *buntu users
  • the podcast should be in both MP3 and OGG format
  • the podcast will be mentioned in the magazine so the podcast should mention the magazine
  • the podcast should be submitted for review before release. We will never censor the podcast but we do want to make sure the presenters aren’t blackening the full circle name!

Your proposal should contain:
How do you plan on producing it?
What length would the podcast be? And what will it contain?
Why should there be another linux podcast?
Where are your presenters located? (use Skype for worldwide groups)
When would you release it? Which day? How often?

And anything else you think will impress us :)

The presenters of the podcast decide on the content, not us.

Closing date for proposals: Wed. 31st October.

Submit your proposals in this thread on Ubuntu Forums.

Approximately one week later we will announce the team who will be making the official full circle podcast!

If you have any questions about the terms or your proposal, feel free to email me, Ronnie (Editor).
