Gone to the island

Ubuntu Notes

The release schedule of Ubuntu is tied to a 6 month cycle, also called cadence. Similarly, a lot of our work and planning falls onto our diaries like country festivals on farmer’s calendar.

Ubuntu Online Tour

Cloud and server Development

We realise that changing Operating System (OS) is a big thing for anyone thinking of testing something out. That becomes a huge barrier for people trying out Ubuntu for the first time and seeing if they like it. As a member of the web team I decided to take on the challenge as a cool ...

Introducing web apps

Ubuntu Design

As you might have heard from the blogosphere, we are going to start to ship our take on web apps. Let me take the opportunity to explain to you some of the reasoning behind them and some of their characteristics. Why I would split the why question in more parts. Is the Web relevant? Today, ...

Cake

Ubuntu Notes

Every weekly team meeting someone is tasked with baking a cake. Ivanka baked for this week’s cake day – check out her cheesecake! So you know, this is not going to become a culinary blog, but cake day is a good reason to post! Being a designer is not (always) a piece of cake.   ...

Design Is a Job

Ubuntu Design

Watch out for Ubuntu! The E-Pebble smartwatch

Ubuntu Design

In the year 2000 IBM showed off the WatchPad, a computer on your wrist, but one perhaps ahead of its time and still needing a little bit of design-love. Of course, we love highlighting beautiful design when it does finally come along, and in the last few days the beautiful Pebble smartwatch has appeared over ...

Holistic UI is smarter UX

Ubuntu Design

The Pangolin wallpaper selection takes flight

Ubuntu Article

For another cycle a selection of images has been put forward for inclusion in Ubuntu. As there have been some questions on other blogs about the process I thought it was worth doing a quick refresher. Each release we ask the community contributors whose images were included in the last release if they’d like to ...
