New Post-Release Repository For New Applications Starting With Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

,----[ Quote ]
| But Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat wants to 
| change the game: according to the 
| whiteboard of the "Implementation of 
| delivering apps post-release" blueprint, a 
| new Ubuntu repository "extras.ubuntu.com" 
| will be created and new applications will 
| be uploaded to this repository even for the 
| already released Ubuntu versions. The new 
| applications will have to be approved by 
| the Application Review Board.

The Spirit of Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| My father-in-law Ron is 88 years old, a 
| member of what Tom Brokaw called The 
| Greatest Generation, those who survived the 
| Great Depression and went on to fight World 
| War II -- in Europe, in Ron's case. Time is 
| taking its toll now on all of those folks: 
| limited mobility, slower reaction times, 
| often reduced vision. It can happen to all 
| of us who live that long. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| I sent copies of my articles to Ron from 
| time to time. He had been interested in 
| computer hardware some years ago and had 
| accumulated a good many bits and pieces, 
| but had long since given it away; 
| unfortunately, a lot of his enthusiasm had 
| gone with it. Still, he always read the 
| articles and a few months ago he remarked 
| that Linux sounded interesting. Naturally I 
| jumped at the opening, offered to send him 
| a Live CD, and to my surprise he said he'd 
| love to try it. I sent him Ubuntu 9.04, a 
| short summary of it, and references to the 
| Ubuntu sites on the web.

Impressions: Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat Alpha 1 â With Screenshots

,----[ Quote ]
| I am sure the people working on this release
| are painfully aware of the implications of a
| release number of 10.10, no failures will be
| tolerated in what has already been dubbed the
| 10/10 (ten out of ten) release.

,----[ Quote ]
| Pre-releases of Maverick are *not*
| encouraged for anyone needing a stable
| system or anyone who is not comfortable
| running into occasional, even frequent
| breakage. They are, however, recommended
| for Ubuntu developers and those who want
| to help in testing, reporting, and fixing
| bugs.
