Canonical Offering Sponsorships to Ubuntu Developer Summit
,----[ Quote ]
| Anxious to go to the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Mountain View, CA this
| December but lack the funds to get there? Canonical is accepting requests for
| sponsorship and a lucky few will receive travel, entrance, and accommodations
| at no cost. It's not a free ride, though. Event organizers will definitely
| put the winners to work.
|
| Ubuntu Community Manager Jono Bacon says, "This time around we expect
| everyone we sponsor to lead at least one discussion around a topic that
| relates to one of the above topics - this means that you will schedule at
| least one session, lead the discussion and make notes about the outcome of
| the discussion. For sessions you are not leading, we still expect you to
| participate through the week and join in the discussions....We will also
| expect you to make the notes available at the end of the week so we can
| provide UDS proceedings for the wider community."

Ubuntu Developer Summit lays out vision for strong Hardy Heron release
,----[ Quote ]
| A complete visual refresh is also planned, including a completely new icon
| theme that will use more SVG and integrate better with the Tango icons used
| by GNOME and other upstream projects. Another topic that was very briefly
| discussed was the possibility of creating a GTK theme that takes advantage of
| compositing functionality, something that probably won't happen within the
| Hardy development cycle. The visual refresh plans are extensive, and were
| discussed in greater detail during the Hardy theming spec session.

Ubuntu Developer Summit lays out vision for strong Hardy Heron release
,----[ Quote ]
| Most of the goals for Hardy Heron look very promising and feasible. Shifting
| away from the emphasis on new features in order to improve reliability is a
| good way to shore up some of the biggest gaps so that the long-term support
| release is very strong. As major hardware vendors begin to consider joining
| Dell in offering Linux preinstallation, the availability of a robust release
| with three years of support will make Ubuntu much more tempting for these
| companies.
