With 2012 quickly coming to a close, Mark Shuttleworth wrote a blog post this morning about his views on Ubuntu Linux in 2013.

They key points from Ubuntu in 2013 blog post come down to:

- "It matters that we not exclude people from our audience" -- whether that means a simple end-user preferring Xfce to the Unity desktop or artists working on content creation atop Ubuntu.

- "It matters that we make a platform which can be USED by anybody."

- "Unity in 2013 will be all about mobile – bringing Ubuntu to phones and tablets."

- "We’ll push deeper into the cloud, making it even easier, faster and cost effective to scale out modern infrastructure on the cloud of your choice, or create clouds for your own consumption and commerce."
