Hi,

I have sent the proposal but on different thread. I see Ubuntu Release Team
is involved here so I'm replying to make sure everyone will be informed.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/14.04/LTS-Proposal

The Ubuntu GNOME
Team<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GettingInvolved/WhoWeAre>is
proposing that the Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 release be supported for 2 years
and 3 months as an LTS release.


Sorry for taking too long to do that. We had some busy real life.
