Where can I keep tabs on Ubuntu Development?

[shaggy999]

I was wondering where I can go to see what plans are being made for the next release of Ubuntu. Major decisions being made and stuff, like where would I have seen ongoing discussion regarding moving to pulseaudio or switching to brasero for CD writing app or the decision to move to firefix beta 3 in hardy back when hardy was being developed? Is there a central web page where I can see what's going on overall in development of the next release?

I'd like to move from simply waiting every 6 months for releases and being surprised regarding changes to actively monitoring overall development.

The only place I could find that seemed close was this:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-8.10

That's a good page to watch.

Expect more activity in a few months when the developer conderence takes place. (http://en.oreilly.com/ubuntu2008/public/content/home)

You may also want to look at the blueprints:

Thanks for the replies. Those do seem like good pages to monitor.

Ubuntu Live is not the developers conference, that's more of a thing for businesses to learn about Ubuntu. You want https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Intrepid which starts in a week.

http://planet.ubuntu.com is a good place to keep track of how things are going.

Let's just hope that Mirco gets his new Facebrowser for GDM finished and it will be a very awesome release even if it doesn't bring anything new besides that.
Also: Jackster: Grim Fandango was awesome!

Could you rebuild that thread for this forum? (Copy it and alter what needs to be altered)

I think I will join the testing team. It will be fun to help out in this area.

My machines usually have 100% compatibility, so anything that goes wrong will be major and worth reporting I think.

Within a few days I'll write an improved one rather than just copying it. I don't want to make the changes in place, because most people will look at it just once.

Well, there is no simple way because probably 99% of all used code is developed upstream.

Ubuntu then intregates this upstream material, more or less in a good way.

Its also hard to find good Blueprints about upstream integrations.

One example is PulseAudio which can be studied here. (also about future) http://www.pulseaudio.org/

Another is Gnomes development
http://live.gnome.org/

A Good Example... IMHO

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/FeatureList

Ubuntus Launchpad list is often a mess to follow...:)

[Eclipse.]

Yeah, a nice wiki page would nice and alot easier to follow.

Yup... Fedoras wiki for new dists is just great..:)

---------------------------------

Perl was interesting. (a mess for the moment in Ibex)

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Perl510

Sid is also running 5.10
http://packages.debian.org/sid/perl

-----------------------------------

Sids repo is also an important factor for Ubuntu development.... "OnTopic"

http://packages.debian.org

How is https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid any harder to find and less organized?

Yes with all respect...:)

Re-sorted to Hardy
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy

Perhaps "the inner-circle" can figure out "whats on" .

I can sort the list with "Delivery" but... a few maybe do that..


Compare it with this.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/FeatureList


Just perfect including upstream references...:)
