After a busy six month release cycle, we can all step back and look at the result of our efforts with [Ubuntu 12.10](https://www.ubuntu.com/download). Many people from all around the world, from all walks of life, each bringing their own passion and talent, all contributed to this release. Thank-you for your wonderful contributions; if it wasn’t for our wonderful community, Ubuntu would not be what it is today, both in terms of technology and awareness.

Now we have the release out the door, in the coming weeks you will be hearing more from the community team about our focus and goals for 13.04; you can [read a summary I posted a little back](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/2012/10/03/the-canonical-community-team-and-13-04/), but we will be following up with plans for UDS and our efforts to continue to grow our community, evolve and grow Ubuntu, and make Ubuntu a fun place to spend your time and contribute.

In the meantime though, everyone enjoy the release, and take the time to celebrate in whatever way you enjoy. Thanks, everyone!
