== Release Life Cycle ==
Ojuba 4 was based on Fedora 13 and from 24 June 2011, Fedora 13 had reached its end of life for
updates and support. No further updates, including security updates,
would be available for Fedora 13 (and Ojuba 4).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-June/002979.html |title=Fedora 13 End of Life |author=Jared K. Smith |date=Fri Jun 24 15:32:28 UTC 2011|publisher=lists.fedoraproject.org |accessdate=3 September 2011}}</ref> Ojuba is a Fedora-based Linux distribution is still active.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ojuba |title=DistroWatch.com: Ojuba |accessdate=25 October 2011}}</ref> But if the system isn't updated in the future, the system may become [[Vulnerability (computing)|vulnerable]] to [[Exploit (computer security)|exploits]]. The [[Sabily]] Linux distribution is a operating system designed by and for Muslims and is supported. Sabily has also suffered from lack of resources and has e.g. made a suspension of Sabily 12.04 codename "Ibn-AlBaytar" to name the next release 12.10 "Ibn-AlBaytar".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sabily.org/website/en/component/content/article/6-news/1040-suspension-of-sabily-1204.html |title=Sabily.org: Suspension of Sabily 12.04! |accessdate=5 December 2012}}</ref> Generally to accelerate the development, more developers, graphical designers, packagers, iso builders must be found. Ojuba 16 was released on 20 April 2012<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ojuba.org/downloads/releases/16/ |title=Ojuba.org Downloads تنزيل الملفات  |accessdate=5 December 2012}}</ref> and will supported until 2013. In addition the 16 release [[GNOME Shell|GNOME 3]] has replaced the GNOME 2 desktop environment.
