Some of these people run dConstruct, a gathering where creative minds of all sorts converge every year to ...

Ubuntu 14.10 wallpapers – we needs ‘em!

Ubuntu Design

Ubuntu was once described to me by a wise(ish 😉 ) man as a train that was leaving whether you’re on it or not. That’s the beauty of a 6 month release cycle.

Making ubuntu.com responsive: final thoughts

Ubuntu Featured

This post is part of the series ‘Making ubuntu.com responsive‘. There are several resources out there on how to create responsive websites, but they tend to go through the process in an ideal scenario, where the project starts with a blank slate, from scratch. That’s why we thought it would be nice to share the ...
