[Thinking Loudly] The Future of Ubuntu GNOME and The VV Cycle

[Will Burton]

Hi all

First off just wanted to congratulate everyone on the 14.10 release, being
a recent returner to the platform its great to see this branch grow :)

On point 4,  I think this important but consideration would need to be made
on how this would affect the release schedule ?

Skipping to points 6 and 8, this 'should' be fairly easy to do using
WordPress and buddypress which will allow a user/admin structure - which
will give everyone the ability to post, we can also feed in the various
digital channels we have and I would be happy to step up to this challenge.

All the best
