DVD news

[Laura Czajkowski]

Aloha folks, 

A number of people have been asking for an update on the 13.04 DVD allocation, the LoCo Council contacted Canonical to see what was happening this cycle.
Below is the mail we were asked to share with people from Canonical.

============================================================================================================
Hi all,

This is just to let you know that going forward, Canonical will not be producing DVDs for standard releases.We understand that to 
convert interested experimenters to Ubuntu users we need to provide and outstanding initial user-experience, and the ability for the user to 
explore and learn in safety with a supporting network of experts around them. The LoCo teams are a key to that second part as you 
provide a personal experience that's local to the user. 

While we love users to be on the latest version of Ubuntu, the key thing for new users is a known, stable and supported environment. So to make sure we 
provide that we'll be shipping you the LTS release CDs rather than the latest standard release.

Therefore, there won't be DVDs for 13.04 as going forward our focus will be on LTS releases. The next production of DVDs will be 14.04. To 
bridge the gap till 14.04,we will continue to supply 12.04 DVDs for events. You can request DVDs for events through Shipit as normal.[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences]

Thank you for your continued and valuable support in making Ubuntu great.

Michelle
