There are some specific goals that we need to meet in Jaunty. One of them is boot time. We want Ubuntu to boot as fast as possible — both in the standard case, and especially when it is being tailored to a specific device.... Another goal is the the blurring of web services and desktop applications.
I'm looking forward to integration between Ubuntu and Launchpad that will let me branch an Ubuntu package with Bazaar and easily publish my own changes with Personal Package Archive support. Especially now that Launchpad has a roadmap for going entirely Open Source."
