Introduction

Welcome to the Xubuntu Team reporting page. Every month this page should be filled with bullet points indicating the summary of some of the work you have been working on. As you work on something, try to summarise it here. A few guidelines for how to write good points here:

  • Keep it simple and short - single sentences are best;
  • Try to summarise your work and not be over-detailed; and
  • Where possible, include relevant links.

You should get all your reporting included here by the 22nd of every month.

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!

Website & Marketing

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.
