Ubuntu 12.04 development is now in full swing – but do you know when the first beta is due to drop or when the final polished product is scheduled for release?

Grab your filo’s – the Ubuntu 12.04 release schedule is, tentatively, as follows: –

  • December 1st Alpha 1
  • February 2nd Alpha 2
  • February 16th Feature Freeze
  • February 23rd User interface Freeze
  • March 1st Beta 1
  • March 29th Beta 2
  • April 26th Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Feature Freeze is the milestone at which new features and packages are no longer added (although ‘exceptions’ can be filed).

User Interface Freeze is the milestone past which no significant changes to the user interface occur (although ‘exceptions’ can be filed).
