Pues, si señores, una cabra , o para ser más exactos un Ibex sera el animal que acompañará a la versión posterior a Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.
Hoy Mark Shuttleworth ha dado a conocer desde una lista de correos de desarrollo de Ubuntu el nuevo nombre de la versión 8.10 planeado para el mes de Octubre. Este nombre es Intrepid Ibex, que traduciendo seria una Cabra montesa Intrépida o Íbice Intrépida (yo prefiero este último).
Iba a realizar una traducción del mail enviado por Mark, pero alguien se me adelanto, así que mejor en vez de dividir esfuerzos aquí les doy un vínculo de la traducción que la gente de ubuntu-es ha realizado.
Aunque a grandes rasgos se presentarán mejoras con respecto a la conectividad utilizando diferentes medios, con esto probablemente se refieran a la versión móvil que se viene desarrollando hace unos meses.
También para recordar que los cambios visuales que se iban a realizar en Hardy han sido postergados a Intrepid, así que será una versión muy esperada que concuerda con el 4 aniversario de Ubuntu.
Aquí el mail original:
A particular focus for us will be pervasive internet access, the ability to tap into bandwidth whenever and wherever you happen to be. No longer will you need to be a tethered, domesticated animal - you’ll be able to roam (and goats do roam!) the wild lands and access the web through a variety of wireless technologies. We want you to be able to move from the office, to the train, and home, staying connected all the way.
The Intrepid Ibex will take shape at our next Ubuntu Developer Summit, an open event to which members of the Ubuntu community, upstream communities, corporate developers and other distributions are all invited. That summit takes place in beautiful Prague, in the Czech Republic from 19th - 23rd May 2008. Together we will draw up detailed blueprints for Ubuntu 8.10. Please join us there to help define the Intrepid Ibex:

Ubuntu 8.10 will be our ninth release, and the fourth anniversary of the first release - 4.10. In those four years, Ubuntu has grown as a project, an ethos and a community. The Ubuntu community have worked to set the benchmark for open, inclusive, and collaborative development processes. We have open specifications, open governance structures and a willingness to empower everyone to make their unique contribution to the success of the project.
This has created an extraordinary diversity in participation; a depth of talent including packagers, programmers, translators, writers, testers, advocates, technical support, artists and many others. Those contributions come as much from the corporate world - Canonical and other companies that have embraced Ubuntu as a core of their offering - as from a huge number of individual professionals. It is this combination of expertise and perspectives that makes it such a pleasure for me to be part of this project, and I thank all of you for your continued passion, participation, and energy.
Hardy is our best development cycle yet, delivering on our promise of reliability and stability for the Heron. We must stay focused on that goal. To the extent that you have a brilliant idea for the future, you now have a peg to hang it on - the Intrepid Ibex. When the Hardy Heron has taken flight we will engage fully with the Ibex.
Give it horns!
Mark
