We didn't update in Ubuntu the bluetooth stack to bluez5 for quite some cycles. This one provides more protocol supports as well as low energy bluetooth capability. The transition may happen in vivid with the right amount of coordination. However, bluez 5 is uncompatible with bluez 4 and most applications needs to be update cross-desktops.

I suggest that we make 16.04 LTS the last release with x86_32 bit images of the Ubuntu desktop, server, and cloud images. I want to announce it long before 16.04 is released so organizations can plan. I have ~580 responses from a servey I conducted on the matter (Planet Ubuntu / Phoronix), with the above idea being part of the premise. I'm hoping to analyze the results and share them soon. If anyone wants "raw" access (minus emails) please just get in touch. Several people have already contacted me (mostly from Lubuntu) about making 32 bit a community supported port. Previous related blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-s-32v64-bit

Figure out the release schedule, milestone volunteers and other related things.

kevin gunn will go over where things are in terms of Unity8 & Mir development and what will be the areas of focus for the coming months

Re-visit the porting guide, discuss how to proceed with a re-write now that the underlying architecture doesnt change anymore.

I wonder if people would like to run Ubuntu on their car? If so, I believe there is a path to doing this. As GENIVI's Community Manager I've seen how car companies and their suppliers are moving to Open Source to bring the power of the community to software development of In-vehicle infotainment systems. Why shouldn't Ubuntu be a choice for these companies and developers? They often use Ubuntu to develop their software, why shouldn't they use it to run their software too? This talk is to gauge the interest on making Ubuntu in your car a reality.

Next steps for the developer mode implementation on the phone (update to android-tools, integration work with the desktop etc)

Migrade the system init daemon (PID 1) from upstart to systemd.
