In keeping with the subtitle of his presentation, "Collaboration Delivers", Matt Zimmerman begins with a discussion of the development cycle and the importance of continuous community participation in the process. The Ubuntu development process is completely open, and users are encouraged to provide their ideas, feedback, and even code.

When it comes to platforms, Ubuntu's focus remains firmly on the desktop, and Zimmerman discusses the enhancements that Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 provide with improved support for wireless networks, Windows settings migration, codec installation, and additional features that desktop users have asked for. He also touches on the development of the server edition of Ubuntu to address the needs of business users and Ubuntu's recent exploration of the mobile environment in cooperation with Intel.

Zimmerman clarifies the rationale behind the regular six-month releases as compared to the LTS (long term support) releases and how each serves a different segment of the Ubuntu community. He concludes with a look at what's coming for Ubuntu and the role that the growing community of users and developers plays in accelerating innovation. Following the presentation is a short Q&A session covering support for virtualization and security software.
