Dari sana, saya mendapatkan link ke halaman tempat source komik ini (yoi. keren kan, lisensinya juga CC. Jadi proses nerjemahinnya nggak kayak mangascan, kudu di-clean dulu) bisa didonlot. [...]

    Thank you all for the kind comments!
    I’m not be able to respond to you as individual though (as it takes so much time for me to write in English ^^;) , your voices give me a lot of motivation in fact.

    I’m now working on the 4th episode of the manga, and Japanese version of ep.2 will be made public as i finish it, maybe in the early next month. It may take a while to translate it into English though, I’m looking forward to showing it to you!

    Thank you again for the everything.

    Hi all.

    Thank you for your comment and trackbacks!
    And sorry for the late reply.
    I’ve been working on the 4th episode of “Ubunchu!”.
    It was so hard ^^;

    Now that I’ve finished the work for the meantime, I’ve edited the 2nd epsode,and made it public.

    I’ve also added Asturian version of the ep1 to the list.
    Thank Xuacu for his work!

  46. cool manga, I’m the biggest fans now. can’t wait the 3rd episode

  47. alex said

    This is so great. Can’t wait for Episode 3.

  48. fun said

    that’s kinda fun, actually. The drawings are quite good, it’s great.

    Just one thing, linux it’s not that much command line, it’s very powerfull but ubuntu did not come up with the wonderful gnome to make it look better.

    It was just designed to be user-friendly linux distrib, and it has evolved so on and now surpassed any other linux distributions for a home/work general usage (many drivers, many package, nice and all configured).

    I invite everyone to make their own distributions based on ubuntu to offer more diversity, it’s going to grow really really big, and ubunchu is actively helping this evolving.

    THANKS.

    Ya!
    Cool manga! I’m waiting more!
    P.S. Ubuntu rulezz ^_^

  51. Iswan said

    When is the 3rd released ?

  52. chrisl said

    sighs, I hope the project is not abandoned :(

  53. bozz said

    I feel the same way chrisl…

    I really like the comic so far… It almost feels like what’s been done so far is a one-shot… I’d like to see the comic expand, maybe explain how the members got together?

  54. bozz said

    Just saw the Japanese site… Who is the twintails girl???

  55. chrisl said

    well, according to google translator ( XD ) her name is Shinozaki Aki
    in the description area, there only appears a ? mark

    …a new character? its looks like project may still be alive :D

  56. chrisl said

    yes, is not dead :D

  57. C-quel said

    Heck no, it’s not dead. ;)

    Seotch-san already has episodes 3 and 4 published in ASCII magazine. However, under agreement with the publisher, he can only relicense and redistribute them under Creative Commons after a certain period of time (at least 3 months I think).

    So even if he posted Episode 02 quickly, and we get all the translations done quickly, we STILL need to wait quite a while in order to do the same with Episode 03 (as a matter of protocol). But I’ve heard it’s well worth the wait. ^^b

    Personally, I draw and commission Ubunchu fanart to get my periodic Ubunchu fix while I do wait. ^____^

  58. Cool site, love the info.

    Cando cona sacan o terceiro capitulo?

  62. Xuacu said

    @ roixordo:
    Por lo que creo, Hiroshi Seo tiene el compromiso con la editorial de liberar el comic unos meses después de su publicación en papel.
    Unha aperta!

    === (English)
    AFAIK, there is an agreement between Hiroshi Seo and the publisher to release the chapters some time after they’ve been published on paper.
    Regards.
