From my perspective, the Ubuntu GNOME community are welcome to
make a public commitment to supporting additional components of
Ubuntu GNOME that are not in main, for any period. Anything in
main will be supported by Canonical for the full LTS period, if
you need to support additional components its fine to say "we as a
community are making the commitment to this support period".<br>
<br>
HWE is strongly recommended - it enables your stack to work with
newer hardware, especially graphics hardware.<br>

Dear The Technical Board of Ubuntu,<br>
<br>
</div>
Greetings :)<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm one of the leaders of Ubuntu GNOME
[1] and I hope we're not late to ask
about this at this time.<br>
<br>
</div>
We'd like to go for an LTS Release for
Trusty and we were wondering if it is good
time to ask? or it is too late?<br>
<br>
</div>
Also:<br>
</div>
1- How long do we have to apply?<br>
</div>
2- Minimum Support Period? we guess it is about
2 years or maybe 3?<br>
</div>
3- What happens with hardware enablements stacks
and point releases? are these mandatory?<br>
<br>
</div>
Please note that I am not a developer so easy on me
:)<br>
<br>
</div>
We have done and put - example [2] - extra ordinary
efforts to be able to have an LTS release for this
cycle and everyone involved has worked so hard to
achieve that on all the areas, not just the
development side. But of course, your approval and
statement will decide that.<br>
<br>
</div>
Thank you! <br>

<p>I checked and I found my email on the archive but I didn't
get an email that confirms my email was approved. I suppose
it was approved indeed, that is why it appeared on the
public archive:</p>
