=== Ubuntu Touch OS wins its first smartphone partner ===

 

Stephen Shankland of CNET informs us that Mark Shuttleworth has

confirmed that Ubuntu Touch has its first official smartphone partner,

though the partner remains unnamed. Four other brands are also in line

to become partners in the near future. With carrier support from

nearly all the big names, Ubuntu Touch is positioned to make a big

splash when the first phones begin shipping next year.

release of Ubuntu Touch and why he ultimately got involved in the

project many years ago - to put Free Software in the hands of people.

He also reaffirms that this is a community project and that it will

not succeed without your help.

activity has been in preparation for the upcoming 14.04 release - if

you're interested in becoming involved the documentation team can

=== Confirmed: Canonical Is Forking GNOME Control Center And GNOME

Settings Daemon For Ubuntu 14.04 ===

 

Andrew of WebUpd8 informs us that Robert Ancell has confirmed

Canonical will be forking GNOME Control Center (commonly known as

System Settings) and GNOME Settings Daemon for the upcoming 14.04

release of Ubuntu. Recently Ubuntu GNOME has been blocked from

shipping the latest releases due to the need to have them heavily

patched for Ubuntu, as a result from now on Ubuntu GNOME will be able

to do so without conflicts.

 

http://www.webupd8.org/2013/12/confirmed-canonical-is-forking-gnome.html

 

OMG! Ubuntu also covers this news in the next article.

 

=== Ubuntu Confirm GNOME Control Centre Fork for 14.04 ===

 

Joey-Elijah Sneddon of OMG! Ubuntu! writes that Ubuntu has confirmed

they will be forking the GNOME Control Center for the upcoming 14.04

release. Through the 13.10 release, they've been shipping a heavily

patched version and have opted to simply fork it rather than

continuing to apply updates and patches. He notes that on the plus

side, it will no longer conflict with the vanilla version being

shipped with Ubuntu GNOME.
