Martin Wimpress, Ubuntu MATE co-founder and leader, who served as the director of desktop systems at Canonical from 2019 to 2021, announced that his participation in the project is coming to an end, and he is looking for developers who are willing to continue working on the Ubuntu MATE distribution and can maintain packages related to the MATE desktop environment in the Ubuntu repository.
It is noted that Martin no longer feels the same enthusiasm, his interests have changed, and he no longer has the time to devote to the Ubuntu MATE project. In this regard, he would like to pass the project management to developers who have the time and energy to work on Ubuntu MATE.
Ubuntu MATE jääb endiselt MATE 1.26 harule, mis moodustati 2021. aastal, ja seisab silmitsi lahendamata probleemide ja arendajate puudusega. Ubuntu MATE 26.04 versioonile ei otsustatud määrata LTS staatust, ja väljaandmise küsimus on endiselt õhus — vaatamata Ubuntu 26.10 beetatestimise algusele, ei ole Ubuntu MATE 26.04 beetaversioonide koostamised endiselt toimunud. MATE töölauda arendamine on alates 2024. aasta kevadest stagnatsioonis.
