Hi Everyone - UDS is over and any post UDS super bugs (stupid ubuflu/ubupneuomonia) should be out of people's systems. Here is the feature list of items for Ubuntu this cycle.
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric?searchtext=desktop-o As always, you can see the burndown progress here: http://people.canonical.com/~platform/workitems/oneiric/canonical-desktop-team.htmlThe complete Oneiric Release Schedule can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule If you are only interested in the highlights, here is a quick rundown of some of the major things people will be working on this cycle: * Gnome3/GTK3<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-gtk3-gnome3>- Plan how to integrate GNOME 3 and port our GTK2/pygtk2 apps to it. * Unity-2d/Qt by default - Unity-2d as default 2d experience. * LightDM <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-lightdm>- default login/user switching by LightDM. Ubuntu themed greeter as well. * Deja Dup<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-deja-dup-default>- Simple backup by default * ISO Localization<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-cd-localization>- Tools and a workflow to provide truly localized CD images. This goes beyond merely installing the right translations, we also want to localize e. g. default bookmarks, or provide a custom background image. * Gwibber UI<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-gwibber-gtk3>- Gwibber UI port to speed up UI and more modern look and feel * CD Space <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-cdspace>- Ongoing battle with CD space * Thunderbird as default<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-default-email-client>- Provisional switch to Thunderbird as default email client * Software Center UI<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-software-center-ui>- Focus areas for this cycle are a general visual "makeover" (new icons, etc.), enhanced integration with Unity, targeted performance improvements, better touch-friendliness, increased stability and usability improvements. * Mozilla release cycle adaptations<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-mozilla-rapid-release-maintenance>- how we adapt to the new rapid release process for Mozilla packages. Great UDS, and I think an even better upcoming cycle! There are some really big platform things coming and Oneiric is going to rock! Thanks, Jason
