Hi,
For the very first time, not only in Ubuntu GNOME Community but within all Ubuntu Communities (Ubuntu + Official Flavours); Ubuntu GNOME Team has taken the initiative and the productivity by establishing the very first Human Resource (Recruiting) Sub-Team within Ubuntu Communities.
For more details, please see this blueprint.
Now, Ubuntu GNOME Sub-Teams has a new arrival and we hope the rest of Ubuntu Communities will follow our steps 🙂
Ubuntu GNOME Blueprints for Utopic Unicorn are ready to be approved. We had 7 Roadmaps for 7 Sub-Teams but now, we have 7 + 1 = 8 Roadmaps.
We’re so excited about this new addition and we hope this experience will be very excited and helpful for our team.
Thank you!

Hello everyone,
After a very successful and long 6 months with Trusty Tahr Cycle, here comes another cycle and another 6 months of fun, hard work and more great and successful achievements to accomplish.
As with any start of any cycle, there is a planning phase, then a brainstorming phase and then the implementation phase.
The Planning Phase of Ubuntu GNOME Utopic Unicorn
Blueprints are done and we have the main roadmap for Ubuntu GNOME Utopic Unicorn with 7 blueprints for each Sub-Team and more to come whenever needed.
Ubuntu GNOME Utopic Unicorn Roadmap
Above are the main Blueprints for Ubuntu GNOME Utopic Unicorn Cycle. There is one main roadmap of course which is the umbrella of all the other 7 main blueprints for each sub-team.
More blueprints will be added whenever needed and will be linked to one of the 7 blueprints, depending on the area these new blueprints will be created under. Example: if the new created blueprint will be related to Ubuntu GNOME Slideshow, this will be under Artwork Sub-Team and therefore, will be linked to: Ubuntu GNOME Artwork Roadmap for Utopic Unicorn.
The Brainstorming Phase of Ubuntu GNOME Utopic Unicorn
Ubuntu GNOME Team will start many meetings, one for each Sub-Team, in order to discuss the blueprints. Once these blueprints are discussed and approved, we shall start then the Implementation Phase.
The Implementation Phase of Ubuntu GNOME Utopic Unicorn
This phase obviously will be longest which will start right after the discussion and brainstorming phase. Planning Phase is done. Brainstorming Phase will start very soon right after publishing this post. It might take 1-2 weeks Maximum and then we shall start the Implementation Phase.
Each Sub-Team will have specific tasks to do. Our Team is more than ready to carry on with the great and amazing work we have always showed and we’re looking forward for yet another cycle of fun, team work, achievements and smiles on the faces of Ubuntu GNOME Users.
We promise that we shall never let you down. However, don’t expect to find/see ALL what you have in mind on Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 😉 nothing is perfect as you know.. Yet, from your side, you can play a great role to help and support. That can be easily achieved and done by:
Joining Ubuntu GNOME and Getting Involved.
Thank you!

Hi,
Two days ago, the entire world has celebrated the release of Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS and the other official flavours of Ubuntu.
Ubuntu GNOME Team has received many Emails and Posts on our Social Media Channels about the very same question/issue.
“Why the system information is showing Ubuntu 13.10 instead of Ubuntu 14.04”?!
Same question is being asked daily even before the final release of Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.
Ubuntu GNOME Team is asking everyone to please read the release notes of Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS before downloading or upgrading to Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS.
This is actually a must-do step with any new release/version of any Operating System/Software in the world and to be more specific here, it is a must-do step every time Ubuntu and its official flavours announce a new release every 6 months.
Why reading the release notes is very important?
The answer is very simple: because the release notes will explain everything about the new release and above all, show the known issues for every new release that all users must be aware of before anything else.
Sorry for the inconvenience
Ubuntu GNOME Team would like to apologize if we caused any kind of confusion and/or headache to the users of Ubuntu GNOME. Our Developers are working on the known issues, specially this problem:
System Details shows Ubuntu 13.10 instead of 14.04
A Workaround
Meanwhile, you can check and verify which release/version of Ubuntu GNOME you’re using by following these steps:
How can I find the version of Ubuntu that is installed?
Thank you!
As always, thank you for choosing and using Ubuntu GNOME and thanks for reading this very important note. Please keep that in mind with each and every release, you do need to read the release notes. This will save your time and save the trouble for you and for everyone else.
Enjoy and have fun with Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS
