“Yet another year is coming to an end. As far as Ubuntu
and Canonical are concerned, 2010 is perhaps *the* most eventful
year in their history. Let us take a quick flashback and analyse
the most important changes Ubuntu has made during the year.

“Ubuntu in 2010 – How Things Changed!

“Year 2010 had been a dramatic one for Ubuntu. A lot of
groundbreaking changes happened during the year for Ubuntu, first
with the release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS codenamed “Lucid Lynx” and
later with release of Ubuntu 10.10 “Maverick Meerkat” which was
affectionately called the perfect 10. Lets learn more about these
changes in detail.

“Brand Ubuntu had a Complete Makeover

“Ubuntu started the year with a bang. Ditching the brownish
color scheme Ubuntu followed since its inception in 2004, Ubuntu
chose to be bold and beautiful instead. Ubuntu had a complete
branding makeover. Everything from Ubuntu logos, GTK themes,
bootscreen, website and even the CD cover now have a totally
refreshing new look and feel. Read more about Ubuntu branding
makeover.”
