Launchpad, developed by Canonical, is a system used to keep track of many aspects of open-source development. Landscape’s features include code hosting, bug tracking, translation, feature blueprints and a community-based answer tracker.

Maybe today I’ve finally found an acceptable way to listen to web radio. Often I like to work with music, but after listening for the umpteenth time my favorite CD of Nirvana or Foo Fighters I want to switch to a bit of Web Radio, and here is my doubt “how?”
