In keeping with tradition, Mark Shuttleworth has published in su Blog the name or nickname of the next Ubuntu version. Usually Shuttleworth will create a somewhat vague blog post to express the next Ubuntu cycle, what it will have, what aspects it will focus on, and why that name is chosen. In this case, the Ubuntu leader has been sparing in words and has expressed the name: yakkety yak.
If we really like cinema, surely you all already know the Yak, the mythical pack animal living in Tibet. An animal that is usually accompanied by a Sherpa or mountain guide. This animal will be the symbol of Ubuntu 16.10, an animal that seems that its quality will be that of talkative and heavy.
Yakkety Yak appear as a reference in Ubuntu 16.10 code
Yakkety is a vague term that comes to mean a lot and is used in many areas, but it seems that the best term that resembles Yakkety is the term "chatter". Thus the new name of Ubuntu 16.10 would be the «Parrot Yak"Or" the heavy Yak. "
In any case the name is already fixed since if we look in the Ubuntu repository, the name of Yakkety Yak appears as the nickname for a version of Ubuntu. Unfortunately we would like to say more about the new version, but we do not know anything, something that it could indicate that Ubuntu 16.10 could have Unity 8 as standard and hence the nickname of insistent. The truth is that Ubuntu 16.10 is a non-LTS version that could well incorporate new features that were not introduced in Ubuntu 16.04, as well as MIR or Unity 8, but it could also be the arrival of LXD and the new application package What do you think? What news do you think will come in Yakkety Yak?
