Hi, we've just started the Alpha3 cycle for Maverick[1]. In broad strokes the plans[7] are unchanged, but there are some notable developments:
* Several of the Java projects we are adopting are quite fast moving. We are looking into a solution that favours ease of discovery of new releases. If you have any thoughts on the matter, please review the affected blueprints[2][3] and let us know your thoughts. * A few blueprints could really use your help! To get the best possible bug reports, apport hooks are tremendously helpful. If you have a few spare cycles, consider writing one or two[4]! Everybody loves trying new versions of software, especially if they fix an issue you've been running into. The daily VCS blueprint[5] is doing exactly that and there's plenty on the list to pick from, or create one for your own favourite package. As a reminder, for those doing feature work in Ubuntu, Alpha 3 is the last milestone before Feature Freeze[6], so make sure you get your changes in before then. If you'd like to contribute to the Maverick release, please join us at our weekly IRC meetings[8] on Tuesdays between 1800 and 1900 UTC on #ubuntu-meeting on irc.freenode.net.
