Hi Folks, I am delighted to have the pleasure of announcing the Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04), the next version of Ubuntu that will succeed Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10, due for release in October 2007). Not only will the Ubuntu community continue to do what it does best, produce an easy-to-use, reliable, free software platform, but this release will proudly wear the badge of Long Term Support (LTS) and be supported with security updates for five years on the server and three years on the desktop. We look forward to releasing the Hardy Heron in April 2008. With the opening of each new release cycle of Ubuntu, we have more and more opportunity at our fingertips. Not only are our friends in the upstream world constantly innovating and extending their applications and software, but the Ubuntu community continues to see incredible growth in its diverse range of areas such as packaging, development, documentation, quality assurance, translations, LoCo teams and more. Each new release gives us all an opportunity to shine, irrespective of which bricks in the project we are laying, and this is at the heart of our belief – working together to produce an Operating System that will empower its users and shape the IT industry, putting free software at the corner-stone of our direction. Most people only ever see the end-user view of Ubuntu, running it on their desktops, servers and mobile devices around the world. For these users, Ubuntu provides a simple, convenient means to do what they want to do easily, effectively and without unnecessary complexity. For many of us though, we want to open up the hood and understand how the system works and how to extend and grow it. Thousands of us get out of bed every day, united behind Ubuntu, ready to make a difference, working together to make our vision happen. Importantly, our ethos of collaboration and freedom extends to the development process as well as the end product. As such, the Ubuntu development process is a very open, transparent one, and anyone is welcome to get involved. It works like this: – Everyone is welcome to think of and develop ideas for features that could be present in the Hardy Heron release. These ideas are written as specifications (detailed documents outlining how the idea would work and be implemented). You are welcome to add your specifications to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu. – In October 2007, we will hold the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and generate a schedule of sessions to discuss these specifications. The sessions provide a means for interested parties to help scope out the proposed feature and determine methods and plans to implement it. The Ubuntu Developer Summit is a semi-virtual event in which those who cannot attend can dial in with VoIP and use IRC and collaborative editing with Gobby to take part in the summit. Everyone is welcome to participate, everyone is welcome to get involved, and everyone is welcome to help shape the form of the Hardy Heron. Let’s work together to shake things up, make things happen and make the most compelling Ubuntu release yet. Start your engines…

人最多的一次
国庆回来后,我就在想什么时候去爬山呢,去完成自己定下的一周去一次的目标。定一个目标容易,坚持下来太不容易了,就像让你把1+1=2每天在本子算10遍一样简单的事,能坚持一个月也不简单了。昨天T问起我,这周还去不去爬山。我也怕自己坚持不下来,我看到天气预报说周六和周日有雨的,有雨可能就去不了了,昨天下午和晚上又要上课。早上起来看窗户外面,昨天晚上还真下雨了,早上雨停了。上午四节课要上,当然不能去了。抓紧时间联系人,下午去,第一节下课在教室找了几个人,今天大家答应的还比较快,想出去走走。一共五个人,说好中午1点到东门****。中午的时候,除了LFZH因为女朋友过来了要陪,其余四人1点都按时到了东门。四个人:WZHSH、LWY、CHH没有什么说的,出发了。考虑到天气的关系,这周应该去中山陵了。这是人最多的一次了,本来想去紫金山的,考虑到天气的原因,就去了中山陵。老****下走了一次,回来时想换个新线路走走,就走了明孝陵那条路。四个人对那里的路都不太熟悉,就随意走吧,到了明孝陵进去参观了下,以前去过的W、CH说现在这里新装修后没有以前那种感觉了,至于是什么感觉,我以前没有去过,现在也没有想得太明白。在明孝陵参观的时候,L一直提醒我要看那面墙上的字。上去的时候我就专门注意了下,原来是“此山为明太祖安之墓”,呵呵,一个山?因为下起了小雨,我们就没有上那“山”顶,到了城墙我们就下来了,城墙上面也有个像四方城那样的一个方形的“城堡”。就是少了石碑,听说这当初为了显示孝心,把石碑尽量做大,大的不能移动了,所以就没有放上来。呵呵
随便写些
一周没有上QQ空间了,也没有来更新下日志。这一周一直在UBUNTU系统下,没有启动过WINDOWS系统。马化腾设计的这个QQ不仅没有LINUX版的,而且还经常把LINUX自己开发的软件给封掉。只要在UBUNTU下就没有办法上空间,没有办法用QQ语音和视频,不知道责任在谁呢?虽然我用的不是盗版的WINDOWS,但用UBUNTU的舒心,快速已经让我很少去启动WINDOWS了。现在记些自己的事情,写些自己的心情,希望QQ的空间不会像传说中的那样要收费。上周申请了个MSN,一直在MSN上和好友联系。就一个原因,MSN在UBUNTU下用着没有限制。以前听说QQ只是人小时候的一个玩具,大了之后就不会再用了。但现在这个玩具已经发展得让你离不开它,因为和很多朋友的联系都在QQ上面,国内也开发了不少即时通信软件,但没有一个能竞争过QQ的。 我的MSN:[email=yunfan_1982@hotmail.com]yunfan_1982@hotmail.com[/email] 不说了,按自己喜欢的方式去生活吧!
