Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx coming next year
The folks at Canonical are putting the final touches on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which should be available next month. But in one of the first steps toward looking even further ahead, Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth has announced the alliterative codename for Ubuntu 10.04 which will be released in April: Lucid Lynx.
Ubuntu comes out on a six month schedule, which means that you get a major update every April and October. Lucid Lynx will be a LTS or Long Time Service release, which means users and organizations that don't want to feel the need to upgrade every six months can install the operating system and expect 2 years of support from Canonical. The last LTS release was Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.
Ubuntu 10.04 will use the GNOME 2.0 desktop (the following version will move on to GNOME 3.0). There'll be a push for more cloud computing features. More details should emerge in the coming months.

would be surprised to see gnome 2.0 in action, considering that 2.26 is the stable release.

Anyone having issues with the audio on the video?

The audio is mono and not in stereo . May be encoding error or a problem with the mic .

Gnome 2.28 is the latest and I think it will have Gnome 2.30. Gnome 3.0 was delayed until 9/2010 so 10.10 will have for sure. Shuttleworth wants Lucid to be the pinnacle of Gnome 2.0. 10.04 might not be the bleeding edge but it doesn't have to since it's an LTS release. LTS releases are all about long term stability and not the latest of everything. Then again they put a beta version of Firefox 3.0 instead of FF 2.0.
