I am one of the developers behind TurnKey Linux, an opensource project
that is developing a family of Ubuntu-based installable Live CDs which
are pre-integrated for specific usage scenarios while optimizing for
ease of use.
The Ubuntu Weekly News team covered our project a month and a half ago
when we launched.
The response we got from the Ubuntu community was fantastic, and we used
the feedback to guide our efforts as while working the kinks out of our
current crop of appliances.
Our main focus has been to try and figure out how to dramatically
improve the usability of the handful of appliances we have released so
that they appeal to a much wider audience (e.g., not everybody likes
mucking around with the command line).
We are proud to announce that recently released versions of our Lamp,
Joomla, Drupal appliances now feature:
* easy to use configuration console (written from scratch in Python)
* a beautiful web administration interface
* auto-login while in demo/live mode
* root password configuration during installation
As usual, detailed information, screenshots and release notes is
available in the appliances section on our website:

Launchpad blueprints for this release can be found at:

Do you think it would be appropriate to cover our progress in Ubuntu
Weekly News?
Cheers,
Liraz
