The Dapper Drake Ubuntu


Recommended Posts

From E-mail Ubuntu Announcements

 

In keeping with tradition, it's time to name the next+1 release of Ubuntu.

 

Ubuntu 6.04(ish) will be special, because as a community we are going to

commit to supporting it for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the

server. In Montreal (October 30-Nov 6, all hackers welcome, companies

send your developers, chip in and define it 'cos we all have to live

with it, details at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBelowZero etc) we will

be figuring out what changes are needed to the release process to ensure

we can deliver on that commitment. We're likely to want to be a bit more

conservative in the feature goals, and freeze a little longer.

 

It's 6.04 that will be up against Windows Vista, so let's make it a

zinger and give folks a real choice.

 

The 6.04 release will be the culmination of 2 years hard work, with

Warty, Hoary and Breezy having set the style and the pace. We want it to

represent the fruit of that labour - it brings to a close this first

major cycle of development for Ubuntu. It will be a release that people

can plan for, participate in and build solutions on top of. It will get

even more polish than we put into Breezy, so we think it deserves a name

that reflects that polish.

 

And so, after much deliberation, it has been decided that 6.04 will be

known during development as:

 

  The Dapper Drake

 

I'm sure the Ubuntu Artwork Team will have a field day  ;-)

 

As usual, the "dapper" repository will be opened after the release of

Breezy. Till then, let's focus all of our energy on the upcoming release!
