== General Community News ==
=== Ubuntu in 2013 ===
Mark Shuttleworth shares his thoughts about Ubuntu in 2013 with
following: "It's important to me, and to the wider Ubuntu community,
the people be able to derive some benefit from our efforts. We know
that there are plenty of smart people whos needs are well served by
what existed in the past. We continue to maintain older versions of
Ubuntu so that they can enjoy those tools on a stable platform. But we
want to shape the future, which means exploring territory that is
unfamiliar, uncertain and easy to criticise. That's why Unity in 2013
will be all about mobile - bringing Ubuntu to phones and tablets."

=== Ubuntu in 2013 ===
Mark Shuttleworth shares his thoughts about Ubuntu in 2013 with
following: "It's important to me, and to the wider Ubuntu community,
the people be able to derive some benefit from our efforts. We know
that there are plenty of smart people whos needs are well served by
what existed in the past. We continue to maintain older versions of
Ubuntu so that they can enjoy those tools on a stable platform. But we
want to shape the future, which means exploring territory that is
unfamiliar, uncertain and easy to criticise. That's why Unity in 2013
will be all about mobile - bringing Ubuntu to phones and tablets."
