In this week’s show:-

We talk about about what we’ve been doing including failing to give a talk because the laptop wouldn’t talk to the projector, failing to get some work done because the desktop wouldn’t boot, learning to write a Perl script in quite a short space of time, and releasing lots of code because it’s just that time of year.
We look back at the predictions we made this time last year, congratulate ourselves on the few we got right, and then make some predictions about what will (probably not) have happened by this time next year.
And we present this year’s UUPC Christmas play: A UUPC Christmas Carol! (Complete with lots of very dodgy accents.)
In the news:-
We mention some Ubuntu related news in the Gerald/bit-about-Ubuntu/ecosphere:-
And in Not-about-Ubuntu:-
- Collaborations proposed between document format organisations…
Finally we have your feedback.

I put it to you that 2011 *WAS* “The Year of the Linux Desktop”: The drama of Canonical’s release of Unity has been the direct and indirect cause of more commentary and shifts in the status quo of the Linux community than I can recall seeing in years. Even if desktop computing is increasingly a niche market, the attention on desktop environments will only help usability going forward, whether it be inprovements to Unity or to its competitors.

And I will make a prediction for 2012: In the wake of their recent fork of Gnome3, Linux Mint will move away from being based on Ubuntu to being based on Debian’s Testing branch (a move they have been prototyping with their Linux Mint Debian Edition), especially with the imminent move of Ubuntu away from X and on to Wayland.

My prediction for 2012 is that Canonical and Ubuntu will make a change that will cause an uproar in the community (like when they moved the buttons to the left, or changed Banshee Amazon refferal, or Unity vs. Gnome-shell discussions)
