This is what a Cuttlefish looks like, from Wikipedia:

He didn't really talk about any other major features to be worked on this cycle, but he did separately also just talk about ideas for a new installer. There will also likely be continued Snap work and other improvements.
Ubuntu 18.10 is scheduled to be released in October and should be arriving with GNOME 3.30, Linux ~4.18, Mesa ~18.3, X.Org Server 1.20, and a wealth of other package updates now being on a non-LTS release cycle. As of writing, an official Ubuntu 18.10 release schedule has yet to be published.
