General Community News

Changes in Ubuntu releases decided by the Ubuntu Technical Board

The Ubuntu Technical Board announce their decision to change support for non-LTS releases from 18 to 9 months, and the adoption of a mechanism to allow users to continuously track the development focus without explicitly upgrading from release to release.

http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/03/19/changes-in-ubuntu-releases-decided-by-the-ubuntu-technical-board/

Also read the follow-up post by Rick Spencer, Vice President of Ubuntu Engineering, for his comments on the decisions by the Ubuntu Technical Board, and how they will impact users: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/03/19/ubuntu-technical-board-looks-at-shuttleworths-proposal-for-release-management-methodology/
