Shooting for the Perfect 10.10 with Maverick Meerkat

,----[ Quote ]
| Our mascot for 10.10 is the Maverick
| Meerkat.
|
| This is a time of change, and we're not
| afraid to surprise people with a bold move
| if the opportunity for dramatic
| improvement presents itself. We want to
| put Ubuntu and free software on every
| single consumer PC that ships from a major
| manufacturer, the ultimate maverick move.
| We will deliver on time, but we have huge
| scope for innovation in what we deliver
| this cycle. Once we have released the LTS
| we have plenty of room to shake things up
| a little. Let's hear the best ideas,
| gather the best talent, and be a little
| radical in how we approach the next two
| year major cycle.

Ubuntu 10.10 to be codenamed Maverick Meerkat

,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 10.04 is a long-term support
| release, which means that the focus during
| the current development cycle has largely
| been on stabilization and refining the
| existing technology. Shuttleworth says
| that we can expect to see a return to
| experimentation in the 10.10 release, with
| the potential for some radical changes.
|
| Some of the most important goals include
| delivering a new Ubuntu Netbook Edition
| user interface, improving the Web
| experience, boosting startup performance,
| and extending social network integration
| on the desktop. Shuttleworth also hopes to
| advance Ubuntu's cloud support by
| simplifying deployment and making it
| easier to manage cloud computing
| workloads.
