So they have to fix the bugs listed on launchpad in order to release it?
I was always wondering: ubuntu has so many developers/programmers etc, why do they work so slow? In launchpad there is only one bug being worked on (in progress)
Other than that there are thousands of bugs that are not being fixed.
Can someone explain???

they might not be interested in working on those bugs... I mean... why aren't you? Your answer will probably be the answer of the developers.

Really? If you were, you wouldn't be making such comments.

As a non-programmer, I would like to take this opportunity to point out the fact that I have a lot of gratitude for all that the F/OSS dev community does for all of us, and that I don't expect to have everything handed to me on a silver platter.

i don't always agree with everything you post Mike, but such is life in an online forum, 100% with you on this one though ;)

Yep, they deserve it. I can imagine how hard should be to make a new Ubuntu release every 6 months.

Have they updated the theme yet? E.g. New wondrous (not brown) theme? ;)

Impossible! I alone worked on 4 bugs today. You just aren't looking properly.

It's out and awesome:lolflag:

To the OP: non programmers have a lot of opportunities to get involved in the Ubuntu project community (wiki, translations, design, news, just name it).

They do? I always thought that Canonical was a fairly small company with an annual operating budget of $20 million. With the cost of hardware, servers, rent etc., there isn't that much left for salaries.

Considering MS and Apple and their size and resourses and how often they put out a new release (or even updates), I'm amazed by how quick Canonical can put out new versions. As for bugs, all OS's have them, its the nature of the beast. IMHO Linux, at least with its transparency, appears to be actively trying to fix theirs.

[QIII]

BTW ... if anyone is interested.

I downloaded the Alpha 6 for 32 and 64 bit for my test machines.

The 32 bit version installation was such a turd I didn't even bother with the 64 bit version.

I'd wait a couple of days.

I'm heading over to Launchpad. I'm sure there have been a lot of complaints already, though.

sounds reasonable.
Thanks for the mature answer.
But since ubuntu is open, it has more programmers than windows and mac right?

Don't confuse "open source" with "everyone in the world is programming it."

Canonical has about 200 employees.

It is a "community project" in that those of us who use it can submit bug reports an make suggestions. That includes you. Which means you can make it better.

Making snide and uninformed remarks on a forum intended to serve the user community is hardly constructive. Reporting bugs and suggestions through Launchpad is.

BTW: Just checked. You are off on your "In Progress" count by 2899. That's out of 28776 confirmed bugs. Of those, there are things like "Emblems should have ToolTips". Assuming that every person who works at Canonical is a developer, that's about 14.5 active bugs being worked on per person. I wonder how the secretaries and janitors get their work done when they are programming all day.
