Prizes Ahoy! Ubuntu Scope Showdown Kicks Off
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**SDK at the ready: Ubuntu has launched a new development competition for its mobile platform, with some swish prizes up for grabs for the winners.**
|
||||
|
||||
The ‘[Ubuntu Scope Showdown][1]‘ is the third such initiative to be held by the project and the second pitched squarely at mobile.
|
||||
|
||||
But this time around amateur and l33t developers alike are being tasked with a new brief: creating custom home screen experiences — ‘[Scopes][2]’ — for Ubuntu on phones.
|
||||
|
||||
### Er, What Is a Scope? ###
|
||||
|
||||
We often refer to Scopes as mini search engines, little portals that help you find content from a specific web site, service or topic — think ‘eBay’, ‘Cat gifs’, or ‘Restaurants Nearby’ — from the home screen, no need to open an app.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to the rich variety of result layouts content can be surfaced and previewed in interesting, intuitive ways. And when you’re happy with what you’ve found you can (typically) click through to open it up in an app or a new tab in the Ubuntu web browser.
|
||||
|
||||
Scopes can be added, removed, re-ordered and ‘favourited’ for easy access. Some Scopes can search multiple sources, others just the one.
|
||||
|
||||
It’s because of this multifariousness that makes the lack of a traditional home screen as we know it from Android, iOS and other mobile platforms (pages and pages of scopes) less of a negative. There’s no desktop; no custom wallpaper you can cover with icons, folders, shortcuts and widgets, but there is, quite literally, a world of information at your fingertips.
|
||||
|
||||
### The Competition ###
|
||||
|
||||
The Ubuntu Scope Showdown runs for five weeks (October 30 – December 3) giving participants just about enough time to take a project from concept to completion using the Ubuntu SDK and submitted to the Ubuntu Store.
|
||||
|
||||
The overall winner (decided by a judging panel of which, disclaimer ahoy, I am part of), will bag a brand new Dell XPS 13 Laptop (Developer Edition) preloaded with Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
Runners up nab a Logitech UE Boom Bluetooth speaker, a Nexus 7 (2013) running Ubuntu, or one of two bundles of Ubuntu merchandise.
|
||||
|
||||
Interested in taking part? You’ll find more details on the entry requirements plus links to all the documentation you can eat on the [developer.ubuntu.com mini-site][3].
|
||||
|
||||
Will you be taking part?

Tomahawk Music Player Returns With New Look, Features
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**After a quiet year Tomahawk, the Swiss Army knife of music players, is back with a brand new release to sing about. **
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Version 0.8 of the open-source and cross-platform app adds **support for more online services**, refreshes its appearance, and doubles down on making sure its innovative social features work flawlessly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tomahawk — The Best of Both Worlds ###
|
||||
|
||||
Tomahawk marries a traditional app structure with the modernity of our “on demand” culture. It can browse and play music from local libraries as well as online services like Spotify, Grooveshark, and SoundCloud. In its latest release it adds Google Play Music and Beats Music to its roster.
|
||||
|
||||
That may sound cumbersome or confusing on paper but in practice it all works fantastically.
|
||||
|
||||
When you want to play a song, and don’t care where it’s played back from, you just tell Tomahawk the track title and artist and it automatically finds a high-quality version from enabled sources — you don’t need to do anything.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The app also sports some additional features, like EchoNest profiling, Last.fm suggestions, and Jabber support so you can ‘play’ friends’ music. There’s also a built-in messaging service so you can quickly share playlists and tracks with others.
|
||||
|
||||
> “This fundamentally different approach to music enables a range of new music consumption and sharing experiences previously not possible,” the project says on its website. And with little else like it, it’s not wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Tomahawk supports the Sound Menu
|
||||
|
||||
### Tomahawk 0.8 Release Highlights ###
|
||||
|
||||
- New UI
|
||||
- Support for Beats Music support
|
||||
- Support for Google Play Music (stored and Play All Access)
|
||||
- Support for drag and drop iTunes, Spotify, etc. web links
|
||||
- Now Playing notifications
|
||||
- Android app (beta)
|
||||
- Inbox improvements
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Tomahawk 0.8 in Ubuntu ###
|
||||
|
||||
As a big music streaming user I’ll be using the app over the next few days to get a fuller appreciation of the changes on offer. In the mean time, to go hands on for yourself, you can.
|
||||
|
||||
Tomahawk 0.8 is available for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.10 via an official PPA.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tomahawk/ppa
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tomahawk
|
||||
|
||||
Standalone installers, and more information, can be found on the official project website.
