So after the release which probably was most awaited in the last two years, it looks like next we’re gonna meet the Utopic, which is scheduled for release in October 2014. After a praised and successful LTS release, work at Ubuntu+1 has just begun.

And since the long-term supported Trusty comes with well-tested packages (but not the latest) like GNOME 3.8 while the latest is 3.12, we are to expect some bleeding-edge, new packages and groundbreaking changes in 14.10.

It’s a good time to shine a light on umbrageous if understandably imminent undulations in the landscape we love – time to bring systemd to the centre of Ubuntu, time to untwist ourselves from Python 2.x and time to walk a little uphill and, thereby, upstream.
