Ubuntu 18.04 will be called "Bionic Beaver", in tribute to Ubuntu workers

Bionic Beaver, the new Ubuntu 18.04 mascot

Many of us are still impressed by the new version of Ubuntu, Ubuntu 17.10, a version with many changes and quite new for many users. However, Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth hasn't waited to introduce the next version of Ubuntu.

The next version of Ubuntu will be LTS, a version that It will be called Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver or also known as the Bionic Beaver. This version will be a collection of all the news that Ubuntu has included in recent years, but also a small tribute to the Ubuntu team.

Ubuntu leader Mark Shuttleworth wanted to make a little tribute to Ubuntu workers: developers, advisors, beta testers, members of the official flavors, those who document, the designers, etc ... Everyone who has helped to build this artificial product, this "bionic" product. Hence the nickname for the next big version of Ubuntu, an LTS version that will succeed Ubuntu 16.04.

Shuttleworth remembers Unity at Bionic Beaver presentation

Mark Shuttleworth has not only done referencia to the new name of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, it has also done reference to all the technologies that Ubuntu contains, to the official flavor desks and to Unity. The old Ubuntu desktop has been the protagonist of Shuttleworth's writing, of which you want developers who want to keep the desktop to be quite successful and Unity can move on.

Personally I did not expect the name or the animal, but it is true that Bionic Beaver is a great tribute to all those who help maintain Ubuntu and its Community. The reference to Unity is also striking, a desktop that could perfectly follow in Ubuntu but that other projects have made it not so, projects that at the moment are not having a great impact among end users and companies Do not you think? What do you think of the nickname of Bionic Beaver? Do you think this tribute is fair?
