Responses Needed: Flavor Participation for 24.04 LTS

[Simon Quigley]

Hello flavors!

As we do around the start of every new cycle, I am reaching out to all
the current official Ubuntu flavors to confirm active participation in
the upcoming Ubuntu release - 24.04 LTS, codenamed Noble.

Working towards a release requires a lot of effort, so we'd like to make sure 
all the flavors are ready, properly staffed, and have enough time allocated to 
make 24.04 LTS happen for their users. This is why, similarly to last time, I 
will need a confirmation follow-up message about Noble participation and your 
planned efforts this cycle from every flavor, that is:

  * Edubuntu
  * Kubuntu
  * Lubuntu
  * Ubuntu Budgie
  * Ubuntu Cinnamon
  * Ubuntu Kylin
  * Ubuntu MATE
  * Ubuntu Studio
  * Ubuntu Unity
  * Xubuntu

Diversity of opinion within the Ubuntu ecosystem makes us stronger. Flavors play 
an important role in making a resilient, inclusive, and technically-sound 
Ubuntu, for all of us, inspiring us to do better, and be better. As important 
players within the project, we especially value your opinions, and are happy to 
address concerns if you run into trouble.

This release, we are making a concerted effort to move off of Ubiquity entirely 
and across the board, in time for the LTS. Ubuntu Budgie has paved the way for 
flavor participation with the new Ubuntu Desktop Installer, while Lubuntu 
continues to innovate and push the limits of what is possible with Calamares. 
Whatever route your flavor chooses, it would be an incredibly wise decision to 
move off of Ubiquity.

If you have any concerns regarding your participation, or a switch in 
installers, please feel free to reach out to me, or anyone from the 
~ubuntu-release team.

Thank you!
