Claire Round 2: Enter PulseAudio
Over the weekend Chakra went live with PulseAudio as default.
Again, the beauty of a rolling-release is that to get it all you have to do is update.
For those new to the distro, a new ISO was released with all the changes included.
For more info, check out Chakra-Linux.org/News: http://chakra-linux.org/news/index.php?/archives/75-Second-Claire-ISO-2012.09-released.html
Chakra Drops i686 and Preps for New Release
In a post today http://chakra-linux.org/news/index.php?/archives/72-Chakra-phasing-out-i686-support.html, Anke outlined the reasons for why i686 would not be supported in the upcoming "Claire" release. I watched some of the debate a few months ago and it got some users pretty involved. The outcome was a pretty solid support for keeping i686 and so this change surprised me but I think it's a good one.
Anke names two key reasons for only continuing with the more modern x86_64 architecture; increasing demands on a small number of developers and their difficulty in keeping packages stable and up to date on something they don't use themselves.

Be::shell is out!
One of our contributors, ~Hombremaledicto (https://www.deviantart.com/hombremaledicto) brought some great news to my attention:
"Anyway the "surprise is out!!!
It's called Be::shell, a new shell (like plasma) for the KDE desktop, which works with Qt style sheets (the syntax is similar to CSS if you've ever used gnome shell) and it is very lightweight.
You can download it from here: http://sourceforge.net/p/be-shell/wiki/browse_pages/
You can see it in action in my gallery http://hombremaledicto.deviantart.com/gallery/ or in my latest screenshots ;)"
Take it for a spin and show us what you can do!!
KDE Announces Partner Network
I already mentioned the Spark tablet http://the-chakra-project.deviantart.com/journal/Good-News-But-Off-Topic-283615048 previously but it has since been renamed http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2012/03/spark-becomes-vivaldi.html to "Vivaldi." Looks like the project is progressing very well!
Via Slashdot: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/05/23/1517216/kde-announces-partner-network
"In the wake of the announcement of the first ever KDE powered tablet, quite a few interesting things are happening in the background. One of them is the formation of a professional Partner Network http://dot.kde.org/2012/05/22/announcing-make-play-live-partner-network
