Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: How we get there
,----[ Quote ]
| [W]eâre rolling out some new tools and
| techniques to track our development work,
| which were pioneered by the desktop team in
| Ubuntu 9.10. We believe this will help us to
| stay on course, and make adjustments earlier
| when needed. Taking some pages from the
| Agile software development playbook, weâll be
| planning in smaller increments and tracking
| our progress using burn-down charts. As
| always, we aim to make Ubuntu development as
| transparent as possible, so all of this
| information is posted publicly so that
| everyone can see how weâre doing.

The Ubuntu Wallpaper Contest Continues - Lucid Lynx
,----[ Quote ]
| As many of you remember, last year for Karmic
| Koala there was a wallpaper contest. Users
| were able to submit wallpapers, and the ones
| that won were included in the default Ubuntu
| installation.

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx And The Social Web
,----[ Quote ]
| A number of changes will (if all goes well)
| land themselves in Lucid. Not everything
| listed below is guaranteed to make it and
| some parts may morph or evolve between now
| and April 2010, but the gist of the plan is
| certainly able to be gleaned and shows that
| the relatively narrow, un-intrusive scope the
| project had in Karmic has been widen â and
| for the better!

The Evolution of Ubuntu.com
,----[ Quote ]
| If youâve checked out Ubuntuâs website
| lately, youâve probably noticed that itâs
| looking pretty slick, especially compared to
| a few years ago. Hereâs a look at how
| ubuntu.com has evolved over time, and why it
| matters.
|
| Well designed websites arenât a forte of the
| open-source community. There are some
| exceptions, but many projects have home pages
| that, although functional, donât look like
| theyâve had an aesthetic update since the
| Windows 95 era. GNU Mailman is an example.
| Linux.org is another.

Development of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to incorporate major changes.
,----[ Quote ]
| He goes on to talk more about the set of
| tools that the developers will be using to
| track their progress and the use of agile
| development methods to make that easier. The
| developers will also be posting their
| progress publicly so that the community can
| follow along. In essence, the final goal of
| this LTS release is to gain the confidence of
| IT departments who will be deploying Lucid
| Lynx and maintaining it for a period of years
| thereafter.

Ubuntu 10.04 Already Shortens The Boot Time
,----[ Quote ]
| For Ubuntu 10.04 in fact they would like a 10
| second boot time for Intel netbook hardware.
| Not only are they speeding up the boot process,
| but they are also working to beautify the boot
| process with Plymouth (video). For this article
| we checked out the boot performance with a
| Samsung NC10 that had an after-market OCZ SSD
| and 2GB of RAM along with a stock Dell Mini 9.
| Starting off, below are the Dell Mini 9 boot
| chart results for clean installations of Ubuntu
| 9.10 and then Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 1.

First Look at Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 1
,----[ Quote ]
| During the development of Ubuntu 9.10 I got
| used to running the development version on my
| netbook. I like installing updates every few
| days to see new improvements be added (and
| donât depend on my netbook to get work done),
| so I installed Ubuntu 10.04 âLucid Lynxâ
| Alpha 1.
|
| My netbook is an Eee PC 901. Everything works
| out of the box with the latest versions of
| Ubuntu. I use the Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but
| there doesnât seem to be an alpha release of
| it available yet so I installed the normal
| Ubuntu desktop. I downloaded Lucid Lynx Alpha
| 1 and created a live-USB system using USB
| Startup Disk Creator.

Ubuntu's Lucid plans

| In April the Ubuntu developers will
| release Lucid Lynx, the next version of

| from Ubuntu and is likely to have a strong
| focus on stability and security and will

Plymouth Running On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
,----[ Quote ]
| For those looking to play with Plymouth on
| Ubuntu right away, it's as easy as sudo
| apt-get install plymouth when running on
| the Ubuntu 10.04 development branch.
| Yesterday we installed Plymouth on an
| Ubuntu Lucid box and recorded the video
| below.
