Yes, that is all true. I can add this:<br>
<br>
Call it politics or philosophy. Every Ubuntu related project which
pretends to be an official distribution (flavour) has to follow
the Ubuntu project concept - new release in every 6 months, LTS
release every two years, etc. Everything depends on the manpower.
Releasing new versions of Ubuntu GNOME in every 6 months will
prove the stability and productivity of our team.<br>

6 Month releases in-line with Ubuntu Release schedule are one of the
requirements of being an officially recognized flavour. <br>
LTS Releases are optional<br>

Every advanced Linux user can install an old version of any Linux
distro and update kernel, software, desktop environment, etc. by
himself. And he can stay with this version as long as he wants (as
long as this distro is useful for him). But the 6-months cycle is
for all users who want to use Ubuntu: they are sure that in April
2014 there will be a download link for a stable and updated LTS
version of their favourite Ubuntu distro.<br>
<br>
That's why every open-source project always needs new serious
contributors, testers, etc.<br>
<br>
I hope the things will go in the right direction and in April 2014
we will be loving our Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS.<br>

<div> I am with Lance, <br>
<br>
I have a significant number of computers/vms, enough that I
maintain a local repo. The only machine that moves from LTS is
generally my laptop. <br>
<br>
</div>
However, I wonder, aside from the DE, since we just pull from
Ubuntu Main, the core still receives the updates to be on the
level with Ubuntu Main does it not? <br>

<pre>Are you required by Ubuntu to create a LTS?
To me a LTS is not really high priority on this great Gnome distribution,
as the main reason for selecting Ubuntu GNOME is newest Gnome release.
I think people looking for a LTS will go for regular Ubuntu - what do you
think?

Ren?

I hadn't ever really thought of that... I think that
maybe the logic behind the LTS is that we should be
as official and stable as possible. If we don't do
the LTS, less people may feel comfortable using the
OS. If we do the LTS, people can still add the
latest version of GNOME if they want it ( <a

<br>
I hear what you're saying though. I think the
choice here is between being a more official distro
and being more of an experiment. <br>

Well there are people such as myself who maintain a fairly
large number of computers and simply can't upgrade them
all every 6 months, thus LTS which means Long Term Support
is quite attractive. I currently have 51 computers running
12.04. <br>
<br>
Ultimately it will be up to Tim to decide if we can do an
LTS or not and I'm cool with that, I consider him our own
personal SABDFL :^) <br>
<br>
If we can do an LTS that would be great, but if we can't
it's not the end of the world ;^) <br>
