The people behind the Ubuntu project are ramping up planning for the

release that in April 2008.
We want to get Chandler into the official Hardy Heron
repositories, so
that Ubuntu users will be able to get Chandler like they get any
other
piece of software, i.e. using their package manager.

Bear was recently at a conference with the Ubuntu people where Hardy
Heron was discussed. There has been some talk on what he learned, but
we'd better put it all on the list as well so everyone will have the
same info.
Some things I remember bear saying:
* openjdk won't make it as the default java in Hardy Heron
timeframe. I
think this means that we either need to still ship Chandler with
openjdk, or we'll have to pick some java package to depend on. I'd
prefer if we picked sun-java 6 dependency rather than ship openjdk
(of
course if openjdk package is included in Hardy Heron we should go
for that).
OpenJDK is starting to make it into the debian system, but that's
using a non Sun environment. I'm monitoring the openjdk lists for
traffic but I dont think it's a build priority for them. The Debian
folks just don't move fast when it comes to Sun.
I'm still trying to find the person in the Ubuntu realm who is
tracking this.
Andi just corrected a mis-understanding on my part - the "non Sun" bit
I was referring to was Icedtea - which I now know is just a fork of
the non-GPL'd pieces.
