Hi All,

As many of you are already aware, a new version of Ubuntu and Edubuntu
and Kubuntu is released every 6 months.

The Edgy release is due out on October 26th it is now in Beta.

>From there the whole cycle starts again; to plan, build and release
Edgy+1 in April 2007.

SPEC PLANNING
-------------

Specifications for Edgy+1 Ubuntu and the rest of the family will be
hammered out at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in the second week of
November.

REQUEST
-------

Please can you send ideas and suggestions for features you'd like to see
on the table for discussion.

If you can, please break the comments into:

* Ubuntu
  - base operating system
  - the features here would apply across Ubuntu / Edubuntu / Kubuntu

* Edubuntu 
  - the classroom desktop
  - the classroom server

We'll debate the suggestions in the list, and then take the popular ones
forward.

So please feel free to comment on other people suggestions.

Thanks
Richard
