<p class="MsoNormal">I wish to apologize for the tardiness of this note, but on behalf of the Lubuntu Council and the Lubuntu Team, I would like to reassert that Lubuntu will be participating in 24.04 LTS with a 3 year support period on our part.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Simon Quigley was present at today’s TB meeting and made a note that he has a draft written up for the recertification paperwork and messages going to the TB, but I wanted to reassert that we’re working on getting it fully filed, but I
wanted to affirm we are still participating despite the delay in getting information to the TB and Release teams.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wish to apologize on our slowness, lots of things happened towards EOY 2023 and everyone got very busy, and this was delayed and overlooked, so my apologies to the Release Team and the Technical Board.<o:p></o:p></p>
