Ubuntu 15.04 named: Say hello to 'Vivid Vervet'
Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth has announced the new monkey-themed name for the latest Ubuntu build (15.04), dubbing the operating system 'Vivid Vervet.'

Now, if you are not a huge monkey fan and have never heard of the breed (trust me, I had not), Shuttleworth explains that the Vervet is 'upstart' and 'volant' in nature, just like the new update.



Reads the founder's ever loquacious blog post: "In my favourite places, the smartest thing around is a particular kind of monkey. Vexatious at times, volant and vogie at others, a vervet gets in anywhere and delights in teasing cats and dogs alike. As the upstart monkey in this business I can think of no better mascot. And so let's launch our vicenary cycle, our verist varlet, the Vivid Vervet!"

The latest Ubuntu is set for release in April 2015.
