Martin Owens: Give Jono a Break, Grow the Community
Martin Owens writes about the immense amount of work that the Canonical Community Team does for Ubuntu, but that even with long days, the team is unable to meet all needs of the Ubuntu community. Instead of having the Canonical Community Team as the perceived “center” of the Ubuntu Community, he proposes that the community seek to “find an identity for Ubuntu which lies outside of Canonical.”

In The Press
Ubuntu considers “huge” change that would end traditional release cycle
Jon Brodkin of Ars Technica reports that Canonical is considering switching from the traditional release cycle to a rolling release, where a major version is released every two years, with updates rolled out in between. Reasons for the switch include being able to stay current with security updates and software fixes, as well as giving developers more time and fewer restrictions to deliver features.
Ubuntu CEO: two-year releases are only “an idea”
Canonical’s CEO Jane Silber told PC Pro that the move to a rolling release is at “very, very early stage discussions.” She notes that she doesn’t know how likely a decision to switch to the new release cycle is, stating, “it’s an idea at this point, and I think the decision merits discussion.”

Ubuntu Audiocast - Episode 05
"Chuck, Bucky, and Philbare talk about people who think Ubuntu is a product, some new kernel features that you might not have known about, why scooters in Korea are slow, why people line up for things that are really mediocre, a hate hotline for Unity, and why marketing people should be ashamed. They discuss Ubuntu more than that of course, but not enough to make you think that this is yet another show about software. Enjoy the show."
