**Ubuntu MATE is looking for new a maintainer, as project lead Martin Wimpress says he no longer has the ‘passion’ for the project he once had (nor the time).** Wimpress created Ubuntu MATE back in 2014, pairing Ubuntu with the traditional MATE desktop created as fork of the old GNOME 2 codebase (now very much its own thing). Ubuntu MATE was made an _official_ Ubuntu flavour in 2015, and its first _official_ long-term support (LTS) release arrived the following year – but there won’t be an Ubuntu MATE 26.04 LTS release as it did not apply for LTS qualification1. A non-LTS will be released and, arguably, the practical differences of that for fans of the distro will depend on what they expect: the desktop will work and receive underlying updates for the duration of the LTS cycle, but not the MATE packages themselves. _“As another development cycle passes, I find myself lacking the time I once had to work on Ubuntu MATE. And, to be frank, I don’t have the passion for the project that I once had. When I have time to tinker, my interests are elsewhere”,_ Wimpress writes. _“With that in mind, I’m interested in handing over the reins to contributors who do have the time and energy to work on Ubuntu MATE”._ Ubuntu MATE is not the only Ubuntu flavour to be low on contributors. Lubuntu, per its devs, is ‘effectively in maintenance mode’, while Ubuntu Unity is bootstrapping under new leadership following the departure of its creator. Unlike the regular version of Ubuntu, its flavours are run by volunteers who work, largely, for free, fuelled by nothing than motivation. A lack of contributors is something a lot of free software projects suffer from – alas, demands and grumbles from their users is not. Maintaining an Ubuntu flavour takes a lot. It’s not just the “fun” aspect of curating packages and applying some themes. There’s upstream code to track, test and package; Ubuntu’s quality standards to maintain; cross-flavour meeting and schedules, and a degree of development expertise needed to identify, fix and triage bugs in a timely fashion, and pay due diligence to security. And that’s before you add in documentation, translations, the occasional bit of politics and inter-team management, and needing to keep your flavour’s community of users engaged and involved. There’s a saying about ‘seeing how the sausage gets made’ – in this case, how the flavour is added. Anyone who thinks they have the time, passion and skills (experience in maintaining packages in the Ubuntu archive is not something blind hope and a Claude Pro subscription can cover) can reach out to Martin Wimpress to get involved. Let’s hope Ubuntu MATE has plenty of friends (I know it’s a drink so the simile doesn’t work) who can step in to keep the friendly green flavour strong (better?) 1. The nature of LTS is in the name, and while flavours only commit to 3 years of timely fixes for their LTS users, it’s not a commitment they can or should make idly. Wimpress has done the right thing by the flavour’s users in not seeking (re)qualification. ↩︎
