What are the things to be developed in Intrepid Ibex?

Intrepid's feature set hasn't been determined yet.

I've read the following in various places:

- The art team will rework the interface. This was originally planned for Hardy, but I suppose it got pushed back for the sake of stability testing.
- Mark Shuttleworth once said that one of the main focuses of Intrepid would be system portability. Easier hotspot hopping, additional methods of Internet connection...

Aside from that, I speculate there will be an emphasis on improving speed.

As for portability, some focus should be put on a live USB system.
Even better, combine it with a VM in a portable app...

I agree. In an age of USB keys and cheapskates, one should be able to put a bootable Ubuntu install image onto a USB stick without much fuss instead of using up another CD-R.

you can put Ubuntu on a usb stick or media card , I have hardy on a smartmedia card in my eeepc :) .

After UDS-Intrepid (starts on the 19th to the 23rd) we will know what the plans are, at the start of every development cycle there is a "Ubuntu Developers Summit" held when ideas are discussed and launchpad blueprints are discussed.

Mark said on the mailing list that the main focus will be portability and networking.

I thought you could put Ubuntu on a USB stick and boot from that if you have a PC that can boot from USB. Maybe I'm confused or missing something...

BTW - You can use CD-RW or DVD-RW and reuse them.

as I said above you can put Ubuntu on a usb stick if your machine will boot from one. or for that matter anything your box will boot from . I put it on a smartmedia card for my eeepc because that don't stick out making a target for breakage (physical) , but a usb stick works also and a usb harddrive or usb cd/dvd.

if you want it on a usb try this

That is Mark Shuttleworth's post to the mailing list explaining some basic goals for Intrepid.

UDS-Intrepid (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Intrepid) starts on Monday. I'm in Prague to attend it, and I (and I assume, Mike and Jorge and others) will post about what's going on. Watch this forum (as well as http://planet.ubuntu.com).

Thank you :) Will be watching with great interest :)
