At the beginning of every release cycle, we try to create a road map to document the work needed for the next cycle. The work is divided into what we call blueprints. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/BlueprintHowto for creating a blueprint. Below is a list of blueprints on which the KernelTeam has actions for the release.
