UDS has wrapped up and we got some good feedback from the Ubuntu TV UDS session as well as made some goals for 13.04.

The format of the weekly updates is changing. First, the weekly updates will no longer be weekly. They will be as often as progress allows (when there is news, it will be here). Second, the weekly updates will no longer contain all of the information from the previous week. You’ve told us that it is hard to read/see what is new, and we’ve listened. Starting today, the new format will only contain information that is new since the previous update. We’ll continue to have the old format on a different page, so it’s still easy to see the status of everything, but updates to that page may be less often.

As I mentioned earlier, we’ve set some goals for 13.04. If you have reviewed the work items below, you can see we’re quite ambitious for the upcoming development cycle. If you would like to assist in any of the work items (or you have other things you’d like to work on) you can usually find the person working on the work item (the nick listed in [ ] ) in our IRC channel ( #ubuntu-tv ) on irc.freenode.net. You can also post any questions or comments on the Ubuntu TV mailing list: ubuntu-tv@lists.launchpad.net
