Good news, friends. From today Canonical is contributing a new benefit to Ubuntu Membership: a complimentary subscription to the rather glorious Linux Weekly News. Our friends in Debian have been doing this for a while, and we thought this could be an excellent gesture too.

To enjoy this benefit you need to be a member of the Ubuntu project. You can then follow this devilishly simple process to switch on your free subscription:

• Apply for an account at LWN by clicking here.
• Send a mail to my friend and yours Rachael at rachael.tripp (at) canonical dot com (preferably using your ubuntu.com address) asking for a subscription sponsorship. This email MUST contain:
  • Your LWN username
  • Your Launchpad username.
• Rachael will then go and double check you are a member and not telling porkies.
• You will receive an email when the subscription has been accepted and is ready to roll (or read).

More details about this and other membership related benefits are here.

Enjoy!
