An initiative called Ubuntu Weekly Update Videocast has been announced by Canonical in an effort to make the development process a lot more transparent.

Ever since the Mir and Ubuntu Touch announcements, Canonical has been under a great deal of scrutiny. More users are demanding to know what is actually going on and their wish has been granted.

“We have been working hard to ensure that the various engineering teams working on different parts of Ubuntu are being as open and transparent as possible.”

“This has included many of these teams (e.g. Unity, Mir, App Development etc) sending regular weekly updates of progress being made. Well, we want to amp that up to the next level, so I am proud to announce the Ubuntu Weekly Update Videocast!” stated Jono Bacon, Ubuntu's Community Manager.

Jono will do a series of interviews with the various development teams and present the progress they’re making in their fields of expertise.

Users will be able to take part in the discussion. The next interview is about Mir and it will take place on Tuesday, July 2, at 6pm UTC live, on Ubuntu On Air.
