Join Phabricator - Inspired by the wonderful KDE folks, Lubuntu has created a Phabricator instance for our project. Phabricator is an open source, version control system-agnostic collaborative development environment similar in some ways to GitHub, GitLab, and perhaps a bit more remotely, like Launchpad.

We were looking for tools to organize, coordinate, and collaborate, especially across teams within the project. In particular, we wanted a taskboard similar to - http://lubuntu.me/2658-2/

Lubuntu 16.04.3 has been released!

This release does NOT include PowerPC, although users of the PowerPC platform can still receive updates. This is due to the fact that PowerPC users would be left with an unsupported kernel because PowerPC is no longer supported in the non-LTS releases.

More info: http://lubuntu.me/lubuntu-16-04-3-released/

Lubuntu Artful Aardvark Alpha 2 (soon to be 17.10) has been released! Also in this release (in addition to the usual LXDE ISO) is an experimental image with LXQt instead of LXDE.

You can grab the Lubuntu images from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/artful/alpha-2/

You can grab the experimental Lubuntu Next images from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu-next/releases/artful/alpha-2/

#Lubuntu has always been an all-inclusive #Linux distribution. Many of our contributors have non-traditional sexual/gender identities, for example.

This may not be apparent, but now with our mascot, Lenny, showing his leather/bear side, maybe it's a little more obvious 🤗
