The State of Ubuntu Studio 2010
When I started helping the Ubuntu Studio developers I had no previous developer experience (this is an important point). However, Ubuntu Studio was without active leadership and within a year I decided that I would provide that leadership. Ubuntu Studio was too important to me to stand by idly as it decayed and slowly died.
The lack of leadership did not preclude others' involvement including some who have had long associations with the project. Although Ubuntu Studio is not necessarily their priority they are still improving the systems and foundations upon which Ubuntu Studio is built. Examples, oversimplified as they are, include crimsun and TheMuso working on the audio stack among other areas.
Recent contributions that have greatly helped including packaging of new multimedia applications for the archives (quadrispro) and invaluable ISO testing for quality assurance (rlameiro and holstein). However, there are fewer new (not to mention inexperienced) contributers that are joining the project than the older (and more experienced) ones that have left the group recently.
Therefore, the current state of Ubuntu Studio could be described as losing momentum characterized by limited development in contrast to its substantial potential.
