Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) has approved our freeze exception request, and will be including OpenShot 1.2.2 (the newest release) when it launches on October 10, 2010.
If you have the beta of Maverick, you can find version 1.2.2 already in the Ubuntu Software Center!
Strangely, the software center has truncated one of our bullet points in the description (i.e. "Videand"). You can check it out on the screenshot here. I guess I'll file a bug about this one. =)

Does this mean that Blender 2.5+ will also be included in Ubuntu 10.10? Everything I can find points to Blender 2.49 as the version to be included in Meercat. This could be a problem.

@Ben,
No, Blender 2.5 will not be included in Ubuntu 10.10, but the 3D title feature will fail gracefully, and instruct the user how to proceed.
I also fully expect the Blender integration to be broken a few times by newer releases of Blender 2.5, until it's official release. So, we are planning on a few small bug fix releases when that happens.
Hopefully for 11.04, we can have Blender 2.5 in the repositories, and probably many new 3D titles by then. =)

That sounds acceptable. It's really not hard to get Blender 2.5 installed.
P.S.
I absolutely love OpenShot. I've used both iMovie and Windows Live Movie Maker, and OpenShot is better than both of them. I love the way you defer to other established programs to get complicated things done. Using OpenShot has also inspired me to learn to use Inkscape and soon Blender. I think you're creating one of the most important programs for converting users to Linux. Thank you.

Sorry, but don't speak english.
Se podría usar el paquete .deb que está en Debian Experimental?
Voy a hacer las pruebas y les cuento.
