Gnome gets official status within the Ubuntu family
Amid all this controvery, there is some good news for Gnome users. Ubuntu GNOME, initiated by none other than Jeremy Bicha, has earned the status of official Ubuntu flavour. The UbuntuGNOME team recently applied to theUbuntu Tech Board to be recognized as the official and it was approved in a meeting.
One advantage that the team will get by becoming the official flavor is access to the infrastructure provided by Canonocal to such flavours.
This is good news for GNOME users as till now there was no easy way to get daily images as things develop. Tim Lunn writes on the mailing list, "We will not be participating in this week's Beta 1 Release but we are planning to release images for the Final Beta at the end of the month. Daily image builds are currently being set up and we except that they will be available within a few weeks."
He further wrote that, "Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 will be released with GNOME 3.6, since Ubuntu held back on GNOME this cycle. We are however making GNOME 3.8 available from the gnome3-team PPA."
