Ubuntu 12.10 has updated the Unity Greeter – aka login screen – with some minor visual tweaks. None of the changes are drastic, and for many will be barely noticeable. The changes, or ‘finesse’, are subtle and incremental improvements to the padding, styling and alignment of items on greeter.
From 28th August to 30th August the Ubuntu Developer Community will bring you a variety of sessions all around Ubuntu Development. If you were ever interested in learning more about how Ubuntu is put together or how to get involved and contribute, this is a perfect time!

The use of the Quickly development tool is no longer a requirement for participants entering the Ubuntu App Showdown Contest. By allowing developers to craft applications in languages other than Python, the contest will open itself up to a wider range of participants.
