Bergabung dengan Planet Ubuntu Indonesia

Hari ini saya bergabung dengan Planet Ubuntu Indonesia sebagai tanda partisipasi saya di Ubuntu. Terima kasih kepada rekan-rekan Ubuntu Indonesia yang telah bersedia menerima saya. Walaupun saya baru beberapa hari menggunakan Ubuntu, tapi saya merasa sudah familiar dengan distro satu ini.

Sekedar perbandingan saja, setelah googling sana sini sepertinya saya belum menemukan tempat seperti Planet Ubuntu untuk komunitas Slackware Indonesia. Mungkin ada yang ingin mengambil inisiatif ke arah ini? Tentunya ini akan sangat membantu perkembangan distro tersebut di Indonesia. Karena yang saya tahu hanya segelintir orang Indonesia yang masih bertahan menggunakan Slackware. :)

Ubuntu Muslim Edition

Still in the spirit of Ubuntu, it seems that some of our Muslim linux developer fellows have joined their force to develop the Ubuntu Muslim Edition. Here is its description quoted from DistroWatch.com:

The project is an attempt to deliver a complete Linux-based operating system supplemented by Islam study software (in Arabic and English) and by an innovative system tray utility that alerts the user to prayer times and automatically plays the appropriate prayer (the prayers are in the free Ogg-Vorbis format).

It is of cource very nice to see a similar development as we have seen it on Ubuntu Christian Edition. Let’s hope the Ubuntu Muslim Edition will catch up everything and become a great resource for all people who would like to learn or read the Quran. Interestingly they use the Quran component I developed before for PostNuke, Mambo and XOOPS on their website, which is now already ported to Joomla! to suit the CMS engine used. That’s great! Keep up the good work. :)
