There is not a set timetable for when each LTS release will come out. 
They are determined by many aspects lining up together (kernels, Gnome
releases, etc.) in such a way as to justify a long-term release.  So, we
don't know for sure when the next LTS release will be exactly, since the
many parts are unpredictable that far into the future, but it would
probably be a safe bet that they will be somewhere close to the time
from Ubuntu inception to Dapper I would think.
