China to standardize on Ubuntu

Canonical has announced a collaboration with the Chinese government to create a standard operating system reference architecture based on the Ubuntu distribution. "The initial work of the CCN Joint Lab is focused on the development of an enhanced version of the Ubuntu desktop with features specific to the Chinese market. The new version is called Ubuntu Kylin and the first version will be released in April 2013 in conjunction with Ubuntu’s global release schedule. Future work will extend beyond the desktop to other platforms."
