What is UDS?

Phone and tablet Notes

We’ve been talking a lot about UDS but some of you out there might not know what it is. Duncan McGregor, one of my colleagues, has had this very conversation with a speaker who will be attending this UDS. He took some time to compose a blog post explaining what the summit is all about. ...

Designing on Ubuntu

Ubuntu Article

The recent Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase competition produced some good work. Lots of great photos and plenty of interesting music tracks were submitted.But only four videos…This made me think. Why only four? Was it because we didn’t talk about it enough? Or maybe there’s just not that many Ubuntu users interested in video and animation? O ...

42 day widget

Ubuntu Notes

Yesterday we successfully released the new versions of Ubuntu family. As you all know, yesterday was such a special date which occurs every 100 years: 10/10/10. But if you are a fan of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, as we are, you would also know that 42 is THE answer. Since 101010 is 42 ...

Ubuntu Design

It’s release week! That means that the Millbank London office and home office locations this week are a buzz with activity getting things ready for our big release on Sunday. The members of the kernel team, and others, are modeling our very swanky new banners which are going out to eligible loco teams in the ...

The weird and wonderful world of Latin Extended B

Ubuntu Design

Below, Amelie Bonet from the Dalton Maag design team shares her thoughts: Latin Extended B is a block (0180-024F) within the Unicode standard. With its utterly mundane name no-one would guess the wealth of shapes and glyphs. This specific and somehow obscure character set gathers 195 glyphs supporting a good mix of languages from Romania ...

The new Maverick Meerkat and Natty Narwhal t-shirt delivery came in this morning, looking tip top I have to say. Check out the MM on the shop site in mens and ladies styles. For Natty you’ll just have to wait ’til UDS Im afraid. ...

Ubuntu emoticons

Ubuntu Design

“Say hello to my little friends…” I’ve just completed a set of emoticons that more closely follow our visual identity to replace the defaults on the Canonical Design Blog. The old ones grated rather badly in my opinion and stuck out as something that needed attention. We are still determining exactly what colours we intend ...

It’s _almost_ there. Happy “so close to release I can almost taste the Ubuntinis” Day everyone! And if you’ve not tried an Ubuntini, well you should.

29 days later

Ubuntu Article

It’s been 29 days since I’ve started working at Canonical and, let me tell you, they went by really fast. In the past few weeks I have worked on lots of projects and there is a lot more in the pipeline. I’ve mainly been working on the “realign” (rather than “redesign”) of canonical.com and ubuntu.com; ...
