Hardy Heron has barely been released a few days ago that it's already time to focus on the Intrepid Ibex! And the first thing to do in a development cycle is... to choose what to do! That's the moment where the most promoted ideas at Brainstorm will be looked at.

Take a look at the planned schedule. You can notice two events in the next weeks: the FOSSCamp and the Ubuntu Developer Summit.

• The FOSSCamp is a two days un-conference that any Open Source project contributor can join. The goal of this event is to help get contributors to discuss how to work together. This semester, the event will take place the 16-17th may in Prague, Czech Republic. Take this chance to meet the Ubuntu Brainstorm and ISO Testing Tracker developers and discuss the evolution of these tools!
• The Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) is a week long event where Ubuntu developers from around the world gather to discuss what will be done for Ubuntu's next version. They will meet in sessions, discuss ideas, and write blueprints (also known as "specifications"), which are ideas with concrete technical steps to make it happen. At the end of the UDS, the roadmap will be set, and the work will begin towards the Intrepid Ibex! The summit is also open to anyone, and live audio streaming of the meetings will be available. This event will take place from 19th to 23th may, also in Prague.

Meanwhile, if you are not yet aware of it, the Ubuntu Open Week is now taking place: One week of IRC sessions on how to involve yourself in Ubuntu development!
