Hello
Giorgio
,<br>
<br>
this issue of my newsletter will be shorter than usual. You might have noticed that it's sent later than usual, that's true. I have been <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b99a97d0c10e2725105878641&id=6989b8ccf9&e=1e8a56cf2f" style="color: #d70751;text-decoration: underline;font-weight: normal;">very busy in May</a> and did not manage to prepare it in time.</p>
<h3>
This month in Debian and Ubuntu</h3>
<strong>Ubuntu 11.04 is out.</strong> As usual, Ubuntu has been released on schedule. This new version features the <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b99a97d0c10e2725105878641&id=4de32453eb&e=1e8a56cf2f" style="color: #d70751;text-decoration: underline;font-weight: normal;">new desktop shell Unity</a>. Based on the feedback I could gather during Solutions Linux, it seems that the new shell is relatively well accepted. The hard work Canonical and the community has been putting into Unity pays off.<br>
<br>
<strong>Ubuntu Developer Summit.</strong> UDS was held in Budapest (Hungary). The next 6 months of work have been discussed and planned. During the <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b99a97d0c10e2725105878641&id=df7fd3c2b2&e=1e8a56cf2f" style="color: #d70751;text-decoration: underline;font-weight: normal;">opening keynote</a>, Mark Shuttleworth shared his goal to see Ubuntu on 200 millions computers within 4 years. I haven't noticed any big change for the coming cycle. Ubuntu will build up on what they started.<br>
<br>
Oneiric will still be the first release to incorporate GNOME 3 and lots of work is implied by this change. Many Ubuntu specific applications will be ported to GTK3, they want to get rid of GTK2 in their official CD. They will reintroduce a standalone screensaver since it was removed and integrated in gnome-shell (that Ubuntu is not using).<br>
<br>
<strong>Discussions about Debian rolling.</strong> Discussions about the release process continued on <a href="mailto:debian-devel@lists.debian.org">debian-devel@lists.debian.org</a> after I posted <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b99a97d0c10e2725105878641&id=75f43be006&e=1e8a56cf2f" style="color: #d70751;text-decoration: underline;font-weight: normal;">some</a> <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b99a97d0c10e2725105878641&id=6c6cf1213e&e=1e8a56cf2f" style="color: #d70751;text-decoration: underline;font-weight: normal;">articles</a> <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b99a97d0c10e2725105878641&id=185e888480&e=1e8a56cf2f" style="color: #d70751;text-decoration: underline;font-weight: normal;">about Debian rolling</a>. I participated heavily in those discussions and while my proposal to rename testing to rolling did not carry the day, the discussion still ended with a <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b99a97d0c10e2725105878641&id=cf6bf759c2&e=1e8a56cf2f" style="color: #d70751;text-decoration: underline;font-weight: normal;">somewhat concrete proposal</a>. I started working in this direction but it will take some time until a concrete result is available. I'll keep you posted.<br>
<br>
<strong>Misc Debian news.</strong> Two architectures (hppa and alpha) have been dropped from the official Debian server and have been moved to <a href="http://debian-ports.org">debian-ports.org</a>. They are losing momentum and were already not released with Squeeze. Perl 5.12 has made its way in unstable and in testing (replacing Perl 5.10). <a href="http://Alioth.debian.org">Alioth.debian.org</a> has seen some important structural changes to cope with the growth of the service (it hosts all the VCS repositories for Debian packaging).<br>
<h3>
What's upcoming?</h3>
Last month I announced that I would start the fundraising for the translation of my book. I did not manage it. But it's my number one goal for june. Hopefully it will work out.<br>
<p>
See you next month for a new issue of this newsletter,<br>
