Gavin-
Okay, here's a kind of road map for the rest of the year.
Ubuntu beta release 9/22, 800 words by 9/23
Ubuntu final 10/13 1200 words on 10/13
Mint 18.1 should be about one month after ubuntu, I'll keep you posted
Fedora 25 final is due 11/15, but that will probably slip a few weeks
Elementary OS doesn't have a date yet, but last year it came out in December. There's a beta out now I could use like we did last time, seemed to go over well.
##Pitches
I also have a few linux-related software pitches
GIMP 2.9, which is a preview of the next stable release, just came out a couple weeks ago. It's got a ton of new stuff including a new theme, so it doesn't look like it crawled out of windows 95 anymore. There's also a bunch of new color calibration tools that put GIMP well ahead of Photoshop on quite a few fronts. I was thinking I could do 1000 words on what's coming in
The Kdenlive video editor had the first major release it's ever had since I've been using it (it's been at least five years since it saw a significant update). It's got some great new stuff like 3 point editing, drag and drop autosizing, and background pre-rendering. It's probably the best linux video editor at the moment.
I've never done a review of Arch Linux, and since that's the main distro I use these days I was thinking it would be interesting to compare it to more mainstream releases. I think a high level look at the advantages of a rolling release distro would be an interesting piece. I was thinking 1200 words but let me know what you think.
I also found a new "developer" web browser based on Chrome/Chromium that has some nice features like phone emulation, synchronized simultaneous mobile and desktop views, auto refresh and a ton of nice testing features. It's a bit like Firefox developer edition, but based on Chrome so it's fast. I thought it would be worth a quick look, say 800 words.
