Mycroft Update: Design Breakdown and Ubuntu Partnership
Mycroft has continued to deeper its ties with Canonical by becoming an official Ubuntu partner for IoT. We are continually grateful for Canonical and team’s commitment to this technology, and their support and guidance as we continue to grow as a project. We look forward to what this partnership will bring in terms of innovation and community engagement, and have the highest hopes for a bright future in this respect.
The team finished another feature video this week. These feature videos will appear periodically through mid 2016. Each video highlights one or more Mycroft feature and shows it in every day use. Our first feature? Netflix, and the ability to “set a scene” using IoT integration.

ownCloud and Collabora Announce LibreOffice Online for ownCloud Server
Today, December 15, ownCloud, Inc. and Collabora have just announced a partnership to bring a new tool for LibreOffice and ownCloud users, based on the LibreOffice Online project and the robust, open-source ownCloud Server self-hosting cloud storage solution.
The Western Digital Labs team contacted us looking to work together with the ownCloud community on offering a self hosted device running ownCloud pre-installed out of the box. Our end goal is to provide a solution for non-technical end users, something which requires few skills to set up.
They provided us with 10 early prototypes to get started with. We’d like to give them out to community members who are serious about helping home users run their ownCloud server.

Amazon.co.uk and Scan.co.uk

now running Ubuntu MATE 15.10.I spoke about this new system on LINUX Unplugged Episode 122
and have been contacted by people wanting more details ever since.
