A hajónaplóba kéretik bevésetni a Canonical tervét is:
Canonical is planning to eventually ship its own SDK (Software Development Kit) for Ubuntu Linux [...] The API for the Ubuntu SDK is expected to be stable and maintained for some time and will also incorporate support for all form-factors of devices where Ubuntu is supported [...] Areas that are likely to be covered by this Ubuntu SDK include GUI, audio, video, networking, file I/O, localization, accessibility, internationalization support, test coverage, data syncing, online accounts / credentials, background processes / service, user configuration and settings, tools/IDE/compilers/packaging, meta-data tracking, indicator support, notification support, and application documentation.
