Release Cycle Changes
As you are all no doubt aware, a Canonical manager has proposed significant changes to the development and release process for the entire Ubuntu project: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-February/036537.html Is the decision about this proposal one the tech board will be making or will it be made by Canonical corporate outside the Ubuntu governance process?

My working assumption is that: a) This is a very drafty proposal, that they decided to open up quite early. b) If/when it shapes up into a solid proposal (with much input from all contributors, volunteers and employees alike) they will bring it to the TB for approval. I'll stick with that assumption until proven otherwise, because it leads to the best possible outcome all around. :) Agreed. I expect that after a good set of discussions at UDS in the community that a final proposal will be presented to the Tech Board for review.

As a member of both Canonical and the TB I haven't heard an official word about this yet. My expectancy is certainly that changes of this magnitude should be discussed and blessed by the TB. But please let's first have the detailled discussions about the pros, cons, and implementation details at the ML and UDS. However, it's certainly Canonical's prerogative to decide which kind of support model for stable releases it's willing and able to fund. So community and TB discussions have to come to come to a conclusion which will actually work in practice under the boundary conditions of what and how much of the work gets funded.
