Ubuntu Weekly Update and Hour-long Mir Interview

by | Tue 2 Jul 2013

Beginning last week, we started our *Ubuntu Weekly Update* videocast that provides a range of weekly updates to keep our community, press, upstreams, and partners in the loop and up to date with recent progress.

Today’s show was a special *two-hour* show with two parts:

1. The first part (**beginning at the start of the video**) includes status updates from the engineering mangers and project leads of Mir, Unity, Juju (Core and Ecosystem), Click Packages/App Upload Process, Ubuntu Touch, Unity APIs, and Community. We also fielded questions from the community who were viewing the show.
2. The second part (**beginning at 59.54**) includes an hour-long interview with *Chris Halse-Rogers* (Mir Engineer), *Kevin Gunn* (Mir and Unity Engineering Manager), *Oliver Ries* (Director of Display Server and Unity Engineering), *Robert Ancell* (Mir Technical Lead), *Steve Langasek* (Ubuntu Foundations Engineering Manager), and *Thomas Voss* (Technical Architect). Again, viewers of the show asked a number of questions that were answered by the team.

You can view it below:
