14 DAY TRIAL // Not much happened this week, with the holidays and all that. Ubuntu Live Conference was announced and it will take place on July 21st-22nd, 2008 in Portland, Oregon. The Ubuntu team invites you to watch some videos from the last conference and get a feel for how the conference works and what should you expect.
It's time to squash bugs, as Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Alpha 3 is expected to be released on January 10th and the Ubuntu team urges all developers to implement this freeze on their end before uploading packages to the archive. Alpha 3 will bring some new features, such as Firefox 3 Beta 2 and PolicyKit integration! We will talk more about these Alpha releases on the next newsletter.
