This article is more than 10 years old.


We’re now well into 2014 and working on several exciting projects that will be released throughout the year.

In the last few weeks we’ve worked on:

  • Ubuntu Resources: we’ve been working on designs for a new homepage and topic landing pages for the upcoming beta release
  • Canonical website: the new canonical.com is now live!
  • Videos: we’ve finalised the designs for a web video player, which should soon be added to www.ubuntu.com
  • Front end mini sprint: we discussed what we’ve learned from making canonical.com and how it might impact the update of ubuntu.com and of the Web Style Guide

And we’re currently working on:

  • Ubuntu Resources: we are making improvements based on feedback we’ve received and adding some new features, like filtered search
  • Ubuntu 14.04 release: we’ve finalised all the planning for the 20th Ubuntu release and have started to work through the long to-do list in the run up to April
  • Ubuntu.com: we are in the process of updating our Web Style Guide to become responsive, which will mean a responsive www.ubuntu.com
  • Juju GUI: we’re working on improved relationship lines
  • Fenchurch: an initial Juju charm has been released and we’re now enhancing it with additional hooks
  • Cloud sprint: many of us are getting ready for a cloud sprint taking place next week in Cape Town, South Africa
