Latest from the web team — November 2013


Even though Ubuntu 13.10’s release is behind us, we always find ways to keep busy. Here are the highlights of the past four weeks.

In the last few weeks we’ve worked on:

And we’re currently working on:

  • Ubuntu Resources: we’re iterating on the current alpha release, improving the design and adding new features
  • Canonical website: we’re currently exploring design directions and finalising the content for the site
  • Juju GUI: we’re refining the bundle experience and interactions for the 14.04 release
  • Fenchurch: we’ve been improving deployment scripts and asset deployment
  • Live chat trial: we’ve been helping the sales team to test a live chat feature on www.ubuntu.com

We also welcomed a new member of the team: Felipe is the new Lead User Experience. And we’ve learned about Karl’s cage fighting past.

Team lunch to welcome Felipe and Karl
