Latest from the web team — October 2013

Release month is always a busy one for the web team, and this time was no exception with the Ubuntu 13.10 release last week.

In the last few weeks we’ve worked on:

  • Ubuntu 13.10 release: we’ve updated www.ubuntu.com for the latest Ubuntu release
  • Updates to the new Ubuntu OpenStack cloud section: based on some really interesting feedback we got from Tingting’s research, we’ve updated the new pages to make them easier to understand
  • Canonical website: Carla has conducted several workshops and interviews with stakeholders and has defined key audiences and user journeys
  • Juju GUI: on-boarding is now ready to land in Juju soon
  • Fenchurch (our CMS): the demo services are fixed and our publishing speed has seen a 90% improvement!

And we’re currently working on:

  • Responsive mobile pilot: we’ve been squashing the most annoying bugs and it’s now almost ready for the public alpha release!
  • Canonical.com: with some of the research for the project already completed, Carla will now be working on creating the site’s information architecture and wireframing its key sections
  • Juju GUI: Alejandra, Luca, Spencer, Peter and Anthony are in a week-long sprint in San Francisco for some intense Juju-related work (lucky them!)
  • developer.ubuntu.com: we have been working with the Community team to update the site’s design to be more in line with www.ubuntu.com and the first iteration will be going live soon
  • Fenchurch: we are now working on a new download service
