Many thanks to everyone who donated to the Ubuntu MATE community this
month. You have been generous as always and ensured that we can meet all
the costs associated with running the Ubuntu MATE project and the
community site. In fact, this month we are able to reward some other
projects that Ubuntu MATE benefits from.

• Ubuntu MATE Donates Money to a Project That Helped Them with Features

• DistroWatch.com: Ubuntu MATE

• Support Ubuntu MATE creating the sequel you’ve all been waiting for

• First peek at the next Ubuntu 15.04 nester line-up • The Register

If the torrent I downloaded is any indication — it had almost triple the number of seeders compared to the rest of the flavors — Ubuntu MATE is going to be a very popular release. That said, I’d wait for the second beta at least before jumping in with both feet.
