Habemus nominem: Ubuntu 18.10 will be called Cosmic Cuttlefish.

Canonical quietly announced the name of its upcoming version of Ubuntu 18.10. It was already known that the first part of the alliteration was Cosmic, and now we know the full title will be Cosmic Cuttlefish, according to a blog post from none other than Mark Shuttleworth himself:

With Ubuntu 18.04 LTS out of the way for the development teams, Ubuntu 18.10 marks the beginning of the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Shuttleworth also outlined that he wants the next cycle to heavily focus on improving the security situation, which is probably a good goal in a world which is seeing growing cyber attacks, with Linux having seen triple the number of malware threats in the last few years.
