=== Mir + Unity QML + Unity APIs = Unity ===

 

Olli Ries, Engineering Director for Unity and Display Server at

Canonical, announces and shares some insights about the Mir display

server and Unity QML. According to what Ries calls their ambitious

goal, Unity will transition back to Qt/QML, and Mir will replace

Xserver in 2013.

=== Not convinced by rolling releases ===

 

Mark Shuttleworth, responded to the case of rolling releases.

Shuttleworth expresses that he is not convinced of the idea as it

injects uncertainty where certainty is needed, among other issues.

The proposal rose up again this year and Shuttleworth allowed the core

engineering team at Canonical to create a "trial balloon" proposal.

Shuttleworth noted that the proposal put forward by Rick Spencer was

not final action as it was not put forward to the Technical Board and

that, though the Community Council was briefed on it, they had not

taken action either.

 

Shuttleworth indicated that there were unexpected findings by the team

putting the proposal together. The releases, the mechanisms for

releases, and the release paradigms all presented conundrums that

needed to be untangled. Shuttleworth also indicated that some

expectations expressed by stakeholders, such as providing support for

PowerPC architecture, were unrealistic based on the nature of today's

consumer market.

 

Beyond that, Shuttleworth called for an end to what he termed as

"melodrama" and indicated that the "sky was not falling." While

noting that there has been a paradigm shift from integration to

leadership, Shuttleworth also stated that those who feel the need to

move on should not "poison the well behind them." Shuttleworth noted

that there is now - what he calls - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

for Ubuntu to dominate in the consumer electronics space, and it is

time to strike while the iron is hot.

 

The post ends with questions to try to steer the discussion back into

debating the rolling release proposal prior to it being submitted to

the Technical Board later in March.

=== Follow Up from "Let's Discuss Interim Releases" ===

 

Rick Spencer follows up on his original proposal to switch Ubuntu to a

Rolling Release. He starts by reassuring that the proposal was a call

for discussion, and then invites everyone interested to provide input.

The final proposal is planned to be put to the Technical Board on

March 18th.

== Ubuntu Cloud News ==

 

=== Lock-In: Why Your OS Choice Matters in the Cloud ===

 

Robbie Williamson reflects on a recent article, which expresses vendor

lock-in concerns in the cloud market. Williamson writes that important

choices when selecting an operating system include selecting an

independently produced OS, and selecting an OS with service

orchestration support. He makes the case for using Ubuntu to fill this

role. "Obviously I'm going to encourage the use of Ubuntu Server, but

not just because I work for Canonical or am an Ubuntu community

member, but because I actually believe it's currently the best option

around."
