| Xubuntu Core (Base): - URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/livecd-rootfs/xubuntu-base - URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/debian-cd/xubuntu-base - URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/ubuntu-cdimage/xubuntu-base - Branches have been refreshed but could use another reviewer and testing. Since we're up to date on this, let's get this out the door first thing for bionic+1 AppStream: - URL: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2016-February/004785.html - Mostly upstream icon related issues. Icons need to be provided by the package or in the humanity icon theme. They must also be a minimum of 64px. - Many of the required changes are being picked up in each component. Considered complete from our perspective. Pidgin theme: - URL: https://github.com/shimmerproject/pidgin-elementary - Pidgin will require patching to support installing this theme globally GTK Theme Config - No longer possible to work universally with all GTK+ 3 themes - Removed from Debian and Bionic. It may return in a later release, but limited to a select few themes. Fonts: - URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oAkWhSp-Lpo-g1Vv91APlmr5L_erfarN_45CSxyxrxc/edit#gid=0 - All additional fonts installed on Xubuntu provide additional language support and should not be removed without a much larger discussion.

| Xubuntu 18.04: Documentation | Edit | |
| Xubuntu 18.04: Logo update | Edit | |
| Xubuntu 18.04: Marketing | 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 18.04: Website | Edit Whiteboard | |
| Redirects needed: - getxubuntu -> download - getxubuntu/requirements -> requirements - Article permalink structure? 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?) | ||
