Ubuntu Linux leader proposes six-week delay

[David Barzilay]

New versions of Ubuntu Linux have been released at a steady six-month
cadence, but project founder Mark Shuttleworth is considering a six-week
delay to improve the reliability of an important new version.

The next version, called Dapper Drake, is due in April. It's the first
version that will have longer-term support commitments--three years for
the desktop computer version and five years for servers, compared to 18
months for the current 5.10 "Breezy Badger" version.

Getting those features right is important, Shuttleworth said in an e-
mail on Friday. "We will live with Dapper for five years--so let's give
it a few extra weeks now so that it can be a real asset to the Ubuntu
project for the full duration of its lifespan," Shuttleworth said.

Thomas,

I actually knew it was March 20, but mistyped the day.

Just wanted to point out FC5 Launch can make a big splash with all our
Marketing contributors worldwide and get in front of Ubuntu... ;)

Just like said Smith in Matrix to Morpheus...
IT´s OUR moment...
IT´s OUR time!

Combining Fedora in the Streets and a marketing aproach
could be interesting.

Hi Pablo,

Can please you tell us some more details about your experience similar
to Fedora in the Streets.

Maybe put it on your wiki page on fedoraproject.org? Or relate it to
