| Xubuntu Core (Base): - URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/debian-cd/xubuntu-base - https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/debian-cd/xubuntu-base/+merge/347414 - URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/livecd-rootfs/xubuntu-base - https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/livecd-rootfs/xubuntu-base/+merge/347319 - URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/ubuntu-cdimage/xubuntu-base - https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/ubuntu-cdimage/xubuntu-base/+merge/347320 Pidgin theme: - URL: https://github.com/shimmerproject/pidgin-elementary - Pidgin will require patching to support installing this theme globally bzr-to-git migration (DONE): - All Xubuntu Bazaar branches were migrated to Git to have a consistent development workflow. lp-to-xfce migration: - We develop two Xfce applications in Launchpad. Migrating these back upstream should boost contributions. Xfce 4.13 components to include (https://pad.ubuntu.com/NMSlV657ha): - thunar (several plugins yet to be ported) - xfdesktop4 (with thunar) - xfce4-appfinder - xfconf (maybe, will start transition) - xfce4-panel (requires xfconf) - xfce4-settings (requires xfconf) - xfce4-session (maybe) Improved developer documentation. Useful topics to cover: - Configuring development environment for Xfce and Xubuntu - Debian packaging for Xubuntu packages (including gbp) - Launchpad git workflow (WIP https://wiki.xubuntu.org/devel/git) - Release process for applications (similar to the Xfce docs) - Standard SRU practices to backport fixes to LTS | ||
| Xubuntu 18.10: Documentation | Edit Whiteboard | |
| FLYER UPDATE: General: – Add a direct link to the download page Front page: – Replace screenshot with one from 18.04 What can I do with Xubuntu?: – Modify the text to be more about the Xubuntu experience as a whole rather than highlight specific apps (with names)? In the Ubuntu ecosystem: – Ubuntu does not use Unity any more... Software in Xubuntu: – Replace "from GNOME and KDE" with "from other desktop environments", or maybe just "with different toolkits like Qt"? – I'd drop mention of GNOME and KDE, and dependencies (a bit out of scope for a flashy flyer) and just say that it can run any Linux applications [lyz] Help & Support: – Mention official docs first under the Help & Support section (same with website)? Local communities: – Do we want to keep the community photo? – I'm inclined to drop mention of LoCos, there aren't many active ones these days [lyz] – In general, the flyer is very wordy, people like pretty things. Maybe replace the LoCo section with a section about our beautiful community-contributed default backgrounds [lyz] – Adjust the Contribute section and mention it's volunteer-driven [lyz] – Link to blog and social media stuff [lyz] | ||

| Xubuntu 18.10: Website | Edit Whiteboard | |
| Front page refresh: - Show the current LTS and regular release on the front page - News visible on the front page? - A different style for the header (maybe extend the background area and overlay the intro on it?) – Use Gutenberg for laying out content – A block for latest posts (output with the excerpt) and a parameter for offset? – Reliability of Gutenberg columns? cdimage.ubuntu.com CSS change process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseTeam/FlavorCSSChanges Website role/permission structure update: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2018-August/011699.html Launchpad Question #672116: Create ~xubuntu-website-admin (namespace blocked) https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/672116 | ||
