Ubuntu begins Edgy development [LWN.net]

The initial timeline for Edgy development has been posted. Much of the planning for Edgy will take place at the Paris summit so proposals need to be submitted before then. The deadline for proposing specifications is June 12, 2006.

The Ubuntu Hardened team is setting goals for proactive security in Edgy. "There is already a Proactive Security Roadmap, created originally as a Breezy specification but never brought to fruition. The specification for this details several steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of exploitation of existing vulnerabilities. This e-mail contains my suggestions for first steps that should be taken to give Ubuntu users the benefit of largely increased security."
