在ubuntu官网的邮件列表上出现了社区管理者Jono Bacon的Hardy Heron介绍 ，总的来说就是很高兴，7.10推出了，8.04工程也已经上马，明年4月准备正式推出。bacon表达了对ubuntu的不断发展装大的欣喜之情：
the Ubuntu community continues to see incredible growth
in its diverse range of areas such as packaging, development,
documentation, quality assurance, translations, LoCo teams and more.
同时表达了开发者的些许担忧和期待：
Most people only ever see the end-user view of Ubuntu, running it on their desktops,
servers and mobile devices around the world.
……
we want to open up the hood and understand how the system works and how to extend
and grow it.
最后提出了一些号召，希望大家多多思考和开发你所希望在Hardy Heron上出现的feature，以规范形式写出并添加到这里：
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu.
然后07年十月的时候，Ubuntu开发者大会召开，这个大会实质上是一个半开放性的虚拟大会，你可以通过IRC或者VoIP来参加。
最后，老大喊了几句口号
Everyone is welcome to participate, everyone is welcome to get involved,
and everyone is welcome to help shape the form of the Hardy Heron.
Let’s work together to shake things up,
make things happen and make the most compelling Ubuntu release yet.
Start your engines…
恩，我在这里就不喊口号了，简单介绍一下情况，有能力有想法的朋友就积极参与提交意见甚至可以试着直接参与开发者大会。俺目前没有这精力了。
