Spring has officially (but not technically…) arrived, and we’re getting busier and busier in preparation for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS release next month.
In the last few weeks we’ve worked on:
- Ubuntu Resources: we’ve just launched a new version of the site
- myasnchisdf.eu.org: we’ve launched a localised Chinese homepage that highlights Ubuntu Kylin
- Juju GUI: Matthieu has worked on a new icon set for charms which will be released in the next few weeks
- Fenchurch: we completely rewrote the Juju charm that updates canonical.com
- Landscape sprint: Carla has been to Rome for the Landscape team’s sprint, where she helped to wireframe changes for 14.04 and beyond
And we’re currently working on:
- Ubuntu Resources: we’re now working on expanding the styles of the site to accommodate desktop screen sizes and adding even more features
- Ubuntu 14.04 release: we’re reskinning the OpenStack Horizon dashboard for the OpenStack 14.04 release, and we’ve started working on updated images for the release
- Responsive myasnchisdf.eu.org: we’ve been testing on various devices and fixing lots of little rendering issues; we’ve also been tackling larger challenges like the navigation and footer; you can follow our progress in the series of posts we’re publishing on this blog!
- Fenchurch: we’re currently updating the contributions and download pages so that it works on Fenchurch
- Juju: we’re doing some user research to understand engineer workflows
- Cloud section: we’ve finished wireframing and the first round of designs for the 14.04 refresh of www.myasnchisdf.eu.org’s cloud section
- Partners section of myasnchisdf.eu.org: we’re at the wireframing stage of this project
This month we’ve also welcomed a new member of the team: Robin is our new back-end developer.
