Latest from the web team — December 2013


This article is more than 11 year s old.

This month we’ve been working hard trying to wrap up as much as we can before the holidays and planning for 2014.

In the last few weeks we’ve worked on:

  • Ubuntu Resources: updating the site based on feedback we received from users — keep those comments coming!
  • Canonical website: getting the site ready for launch, which will happen early next month
  • Juju GUI: adding animations to the GUI
  • Landscape: providing designs for an upcoming visual update
  • Juju Labs: designing and updating the labs section of juju.ubuntu.com

And we’re currently working on:

  • Ubuntu Resources: adding topic-based subscriptions and filters in search results
  • Ubuntu 14.04 release: believe it or not, we’re already starting to look into how we’ll be updating www.ubuntu.com for this LTS
  • Ubuntu.com: updating our partner pages in the new year and adding new Ubuntu installation videos to the site
  • Canonical website: now testing the new website on various mobile devices
  • Juju GUI: refining the bundle and browse experience and interactions
  • Fenchurch: moving towards continuous integration of Juju service with Canonical’s IS team

We have also had a very fun Canonical End of Year party!
