A tentative release date for Ubuntu 13.04 has been announced – April 25th 2013.

Although subject to change, the date appears on the in-progress release schedule for the ‘R’ release cycle.

Key dates at the time of writing look like this:

  • Ubuntu 13.04 Alpha 1 – December 1st
  • Ubuntu 13.04 Alpha 2 – Feb 7th
  • Ubuntu 13.04 Beta – March 7th

With the final release scheduled for:

  • Ubuntu 13.04 Final – April 25th

None of these dates are set in stone so don’t be too surprised if they’re adjusted over the coming months.

That written, April 25th is a Thursday – Ubuntu’s traditional release slot.
