August

Xubuntu team report for August, 2010

Bug Triage

  • Our bug triage efforts are paying off for Xubuntu. Many bugs were squashed this past month.

Packaging, Development, & Testing

  • We tested Maverick Meerkat Alpha3 with good results.
  • Uploaded new bugfix releases of Goffice (0.8.8) and Gnumeric (1.10.8) in Maverick Meerkat.
  • XRandR 1.2 support (multiple layouts, rotations, reflections, etc.) added to Xfce4-display-settings, to be released with Xfce 4.8, thanks to the work of Lionel Le Folgoc (mr_pouit).

  • Development packages of Xfce 4.7.x (future 4.8) updated in Xubuntu developers' PPA. Feel free to test them and report bugs on http://bugzilla.xfce.org to make Xfce 4.8 rock!

Artwork

  • Xubuntu wants your artwork! We need a countdown image and timer for Maverick.
  • We still need a good plymouth theme.
  • Selected the artwork for Maverick. Everyone that submitted artwork deserves a huge thank you.
  • Xubuntu 10.10 / Balls/Curve will be the new wallpaper for Xubuntu 10.10.

  • A new GTK theme from Shimmer Project called Bluebird was also chosen by the team.

Community

  • We are striving to get more users to blog about Xubuntu. We would like to keep word out of the changes being made, as well as new releases.
