,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu has rapidly established itself as the leading GNU/Linux distribution
| on the desktop, not least through its work with Dell. Less well-known is the
| fact that Canonical, the company sponsoring Ubuntu – and trying to create a
| viable business around it – is based in London. One of the key members of
| staff working there is Jono Bacon, Canonical's Ubuntu Community Manager.

Public beta release planned for 2008.0 release cycle
,----[ Quote ]
| Public beta releases play a major role in the Release Engineering team's
| revamped plans for 2008.0. Releng lead Chris Gianelloni said he hoped beta
| releases would increase community participation as well as the quality of the
| final release. These feature-complete public betas will require the earlier
| development of release materials, another component of the 2008.0 changes. To
| ensure sufficient time for beta testing, a mandatory 2-week testing period
| will follow the beta release.

| The state of the foundation is not something that will stop the kernel team
| from releasing kernels, the KDE team from working their butts off so KDE 4
| compiles on everyone’s machine, or the release team from creating and testing
| the forthcoming release. The same people are hard at work doing the same job
| they were doing two weeks ago.
