Latest from the web team — December 2013


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!
