——————————————————————————–
With Hardy now past feature-freeze it’s time to start to planfeatures that are being lined up for inclusion after Ubuntu 8.04 LTSis released in April.
And so I’d like to introduce you to the Intrepid Ibex, the releasewhich is planned for October 2008, and which is likely to have theversion number 8.10.
During the 8.10 cycle we will be venturing into interesting newterritory, and we’ll need the rugged adventurousness of a mountaingoat to navigate tricky terrain. Our desktop offering will onceagain be a focal point as we re-engineer the user interaction modelso that Ubuntu works as well on a high-end workstation as it does ona feisty little subnotebook. We’ll also be reaching new peaks ofperformance – aiming to make the mobile desktop as productive aspossible.
A particular focus for us will be pervasive internet access, theability to tap into bandwidth whenever and wherever you happen tobe. No longer will you need to be a tethered, domesticated animal -you’ll be able to roam (and goats do roam!) the wild lands andaccess the web through a variety of wireless technologies. We wantyou to be able to move from the office, to the train, and home,staying connected all the way.
The Intrepid Ibex will take shape at our next Ubuntu DeveloperSummit, an open event to which members of the Ubuntu community,upstream communities, corporate developers and other distributionsare all invited. That summit takes place in beautiful Prague, in theCzech Republic from 19th – 23rd May 2008. Together we will draw updetailed blueprints for Ubuntu 8.10. Please join us there to helpdefine the Intrepid Ibex:

Ubuntu 8.10 will be our ninth release, and the fourth anniversary ofthe first release – 4.10. In those four years, Ubuntu has grown as aproject, an ethos and a community. The Ubuntu community have workedto set the benchmark for open, inclusive, and collaborativedevelopment processes. We have open specifications, open governancestructures and a willingness to empower everyone to make theirunique contribution to the success of the project.
This has created an extraordinary diversity in participation; adepth of talent including packagers, programmers, translators,writers, testers, advocates, technical support, artists and manyothers. Those contributions come as much from the corporate world -Canonical and other companies that have embraced Ubuntu as a core oftheir offering – as from a huge number of individual professionals.It is this combination of expertise and perspectives that makes itsuch a pleasure for me to be part of this project, and I thank allof you for your continued passion, participation, and energy.
Hardy is our best development cycle yet, delivering on our promiseof reliability and stability for the Heron. We must stay focused onthat goal. To the extent that you have a brilliant idea for thefuture, you now have a peg to hang it on – the Intrepid Ibex. Whenthe Hardy Heron has taken flight we will engage fully with the Ibex.Give it horns!
