Yesterday the Ubuntu developers released Ubuntu 6.10, aka Ubutu Edgy Eft as stable on date! Many congratulations go out to them all for a great piece of work. Lots of comments and weblogs from developers all over are located at http://planet.ubuntu.com/ (including a install walk-through for those who haven’t installed it themself). More news over at Ubuntu.com.

This morning Canonical Ltd., the company backing development of Ubuntu, announced that the first batch of users have been certified as professional users of Ubuntu. The three required tests, formally known as ‘Ubuntu Certified Professional exam’ are the LPI 101 and 102 exams and an additional Ubuntu-specific set of questions. As it happen to be; my employer, Visma Ajourit, are one of few sites in Trondheim, Norway that have this kind of testing available. If you’d like to do the test, contact me at work and I’ll get you a factsheet + the prices of the exams required. We allow testing on friday mornings at 09.00 local time.
