## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth.
## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here.
## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so.

Migrating all seeds to Git

Simon Quigley writes to the Ubuntu Release mailing list about the decision to migrate all Ubuntu and flavor seeds from Bazaar to Git, having the required tooling in place, ideally before the new development cycle advances too far. Simon points to a wiki page with details, advising all seeds should be migrated within a week of his writing, unless any of the affected teams object to the change.
