The roadmap for the next Ubuntu Linux version has been released:

As of today the archive for development of the next release of Ubuntu is open. Here are some pointers to information about the goals we have set for Dapper, the roadmap, the process we are following to identify and specify features, and the tools we will be using to coordinate and deliver The Drake.

We are preparing for our Montreal Developer Summit, which takes place http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBelowZero in Montreal, Canada next week, and where the final list of features and release schedule will be decided. If you would like to participate in that discussion, please read the documents attached to this mail, or the newest versions on the web at the URL's given, and make sure that you contribute your feature specifications and suggestions. Don't mail them to me - capture them on the wiki and in Launchpad.net so that the entire community can participate in shaping them, prioritising and implementing them.

Edubuntu 5.10 has been released:

The Edubuntu team is proud to announce the first Edubuntu release Edubuntu 5.10.

The Edubuntu 5.10 release consists of an Install CD for the PC (Intel x86) ad 64-bit PC (AMD64) architectures.

Edubuntu is a flavour of the Ubuntu Linux operating system, which is optimised for classroom use. It has been developed in collaboration with teachers and technologists around the world. The aim of Edubuntu is that an educator with limited technical knowledge and skill should be able to set up a computer lab, or establish an on-line learning environment, in an hour or less, and then administer that environment without having to become a fully-fledged Linux geek. This is our first step towards that goal.
