Development Cycle
Currently, development is done in 6 months periods, correlating with our releases. Usually Ubuntu Studio is released in April and October of every year. LTS (long term support release) is released every 2 years, and development for that is done over a two years period.
Release Schedule
To keep track of important dates, we use a development release schedule. See our current developmemt release schedule for an oversight of important dates.
