Roadmap for 14.04

[David Yentzen]

Hi Julien
 Thanks for your detailed email.  I understand there is not enough
infrastructure currently to support training, mentoring, and performing
many changes prior to 14.04 roll out. I am mostly concerned with the future
development of our community. Since I am not only new to Lubuntu( and
Linux) but also have no computer background( all biological sciences and
economics here), I rely on your opinion and input. Are there any steps, you
know of, that we as a community can take now to attract and promote the
technical human power we need for a growing future?


Sincerely,
David Yentzen
