“Founded in 2010, the Unity project started by Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical has gone on to deliver a consistent

user experience for desktop and netbook users alike. Putting great design at the heart of the project, Unity and its

technologies such as Application indicators, System indicators, and Notify OSD, have strived to solve common problems in the

Free Software desktop while optimizing the experience for touch, consistency and collaboration.”

“I’m writing to let you know that we will end our investment in Unity8, the phone and convergence shell. We will shift our

default Ubuntu desktop back to GNOME for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.”
