Welcome to the first issue of Full Circle for 2015.
We're still a man down. I haven't heard from him, so I'm assuming Greg is still ill, so still no Python this month I'm afraid. In place of Python I've written a quick article on RTL-SDR radio. I came across this on YouTube and decided to give it a try. It's amazing what you can get from a cheap USB dongle. Elmer is here with his usual LibreOffice piece, and closing off the trinity is an interesting article on how to create an Ubuntu kiosk. By kiosk we mean the sort of read-only terminal (for want of a better description) that you'd see the public using for information, or in an internet cafe or something similar.
The Mate desktop originated in Linux Mint, but has since moved over to Ubuntu. Ubuntu Mate 14.10 is one of two reviews we have for you this month. The other review is a book review; The Official Ubuntu Book.
In his lab, Charles takes a first look at FreeBSD. It sounds like he had quite a struggle with it, but got there in the end. Meanwhile, the kernel series, unfortunately, finishes this month.
There's the first news of the Ubuntu Phone. Canonical have released a statement discussing their thoughts on phone interfaces, scopes, and much more. The first phones will be going out to people by mid-February. All going well I'll get my grubby paws on one and have unboxing, reviews, and thoughts on the beast. Keep your eyes on the FCM site for more news updates, as and when we get them, from the source; Canonical.
All the best to you, and yours, for 2015!
