Mark Shuttleworth Proposes Delaying next Ubuntu

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the waiting-on-the-duck dept.

Beuno writes "Mark Shuttleworth has proposed on the ubuntu-art mailing list to postpone the 'Dapper Drake' release by 6 weeks. He lays out the reasons pretty clearly: the delay should make the release a more user-friendly distro. He has also called up a community meeting in April 14th on IRC for community input. Is it really worth delaying the release for more then a month just to polish it out a little bit?" Commentary on this also available from the Tectonic site.

    Folks, check out the updated prostitute schedule for March 11 at the Mitchell Brother's O'Farrell Theater (MBOT), located at 895 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, California. The MBOT is the most convenient way for you to buy a blow job, a hand job, and full service (i.e. vaginal sexual intercourse).

    I kid you not.

    Is a 50 or 60 grand one time fee to fraunhoffer. You could have "legal" MP3 then. Most large distros could pay the fee. It is not free software though.

    And that is what is up with that.
