[ubuntu-uk] No DVDs for the 13.04 release

[Alan Bell]

Hi all,
we have had the communication below from Canonical, there won't be a 
LoCo team allocation of DVDs for 13.04, but there will be something for 
14.04. This is kind of a consequence of downplaying the non-LTS releases 
and heading in a rolling release direction, whilst boosting the 
importance of the 14.04 release - which is in theory the one that runs 
on everything including desktops and phones and phablets.

Hi all, This is just to let you know that going forward, Canonical will 
not be producing DVDs for standard releases.We understand that to 
convert interested experimenters to Ubuntu users we need to provide and 
outstanding initial user-experience, and the ability for the user to 
explore and learn in safety with a supporting network of experts around 
them. The LoCo teams are a key to that second part as you provide a 
personal experience that's local to the user. While we love users to be 
on the latest version of Ubuntu, the key thing for new users is a known, 
stable and supported environment. So to make sure we provide that we'll 
be shipping you the LTS release CDs rather than the latest standard 
release. Therefore, there won't be DVDs for 13.04 as going forward our 
focus will be on LTS releases. The next production of DVDs will be 
14.04. To bridge the gap till 14.04,we will continue to supply 12.04 
DVDs for events. You can request DVDs for events through Shipit as 
normal.[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences] Thank you for your 
continued and valuable support in making Ubuntu great. Michelle
