Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Feeling abandoned?

[Che Dean]

Not sure about that, Pat. Mark appeared to back UBports taking over
development of UTouch earlier on G+.

"I would like to thank all of you for your spirit and intellect and energy
in the Unity8 adventure. Popescu Sorin, your videos of Unity8 have been the
best way for me to see that dream take shape! I hope they continue to
inspire desktop developers around the world. And the beauty of free
software is that projects are bigger than people or companies.

Many elements of the code in the Ubuntu Phone project continue - snaps grew
out of our desire to ship apps reliably and efficiently and securely, the
unity8 code itself will continue to be useful for UBports and other
projects. And the ideas that we have pushed for are now spreading too.

Finally, I should celebrate that Ubuntu consists of so many overlapping
visions of personal computing, that we have the ability to move quickly to
support the Ubuntu GNOME community with all the resources of Canonical to
focus on stability, upgrades, integration and experience. That's only
possible because of the diversity of shells in the Ubuntu family, and I am
proud of all of our work across that full range." ~ Mark Shuttleworth

[Pat]

One of the developers at Canonical says that they might not be opposed to a 
community developed Unity that could come back in as an official flavor.

I think it's safe to say that certain projects are pretty much dead. 
Just as the Mozilla phone kind of fizzled out, I think Touch is pretty 
much dead in the water. That makes Mir kind of useless, too. Which is 
good, because all flavors can benefit from Wayland. That's certainly the 
blessing we receive here.


That said, Unity itself may live on but so many people don't like it, I 
can't imagine it would really go anywhere. Eventually we'll have LXQt 
working happily thanks to Lubuntu's help. Upstream's been running it 
with Kwin instead of Openbox, so there's certainly a mid-weight desktop 
environment possible. Maybe someone should start the Ubuntu Qt flavor?

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Feeling abandoned?

[Ryein Goddard]

Yeah I use Kubuntu personally and was looking forward to a more Qt 
centric development on Ubuntu and I was watching development of Unity.  
Very sad.  Hopefully the community picks it up and just makes it better.


Anyway, I am going to try and make it.

As a contributor to two flavors, I can say they don't get nearly as

going on there. Anyone want to organize such a thing? I'm sure I could 
wrangle funding from Canonical.

Thanks James, for the Salem Ubuntu announcement.
Of course, once I send email, new mail arrives shortly afterwards.  Sorry -
I didn't intend to double post...
Needless to say I'll be there, as it's the place to be... down town...

Ciao for now

Disconsolate over the end of Unity? Or, just looking for a good time
with open source, in a warm, nurturing environment? Then come to
tonight's Salem Ubuntu Hour at the Broadway Commons Coffeehouse
, at 1600 NE Broadway, Salem, from
6 to 7 pm.
