Ubuntu Core on Nexus 7

The core of the Ubuntu Desktop has been enabled on the Nexus 7 tablet to serve as a developer reference platform. As Mark writes on his blog:

• So I think it’s time to look at the core of Ubuntu and review it through a mobile lens: let’s measure our core platform by mobile metrics, things like battery life, number of running processes, memory footprint, and polish the rough edges that we find when we do that. The tighter we can get the core, the better we will do on laptops and the cloud, too.

Ubuntu is getting back to basics and we'll use the 13.04 cycle to get Ubuntu Core leaner and meaner. Below, you'll find a collection of resources to help you get started. We'd love your contributions!
