=== Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu 12.04 will be LTS === Ubuntu 12.04 will be an LTS (Long Term Support) release, but it’s up to all the official flavors themselves to decide whether each will be an LTS release or not. The Technical Board approved plans for at 3 year LTS for Xubuntu and 5 year LTS for Kubuntu and Edubuntu during its meeting on January 9th. Details, including links to each proposal are available in the Tech Board meeting notes: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2012-January/000922.html === Ubuntu Success @ CES === Canonical recaps the successes of its demo at CES. With more than 5000 people stopping by the booth, readers should not be surprised that the supply of Ubuntu CD’s and Ubuntu TV promotional material was exhausted. http://blog.canonical.com/2012/01/12/ubuntu-success-ces/ === Another Successful User Days! === With another successful Ubuntu User Days come and gone we look forward to the next and ask those who attended to do a brief survey. http://ubuntuclassroom.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/another-successful-user-days/ |

Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu 12.04 will be LTS
Ubuntu 12.04 will be an LTS (Long Term Support) release, but it’s up to all the official flavors themselves to decide whether each will be an LTS release or not. The Technical Board approved plans for at 3 year LTS for Xubuntu and 5 year LTS for Kubuntu and Edubuntu during its meeting on January 9th. Details, including links to each proposal are available in the Tech Board meeting notes:
