[Trisquel-users] Re : What would make you become an associate member?

[magicbanana]

Although the schedule is not official, it exists. Trisquel's versions usually  
are released during the LibrePlanet conference and for the Free Software Day  
(it is going to be September 15th this year). This bi-annual pace is about  
five months delayed w.r.t. Ubuntu's. As a home user, I am happy with it: I  
prefer not to go go through the issues met by early adopters of Ubuntu. For  
companies/institutions, the five month shift applies to the support and I  
believe it is not a big deal either since these users usually want to stick  
to LTS releases (for more stability), which are supported 4 years and 7  
months (the 5 year-support of Ubuntu minus the 5 month shift) with a 2 years  
and 7 months that are overlapping with the availability of the next LTS.

You did not clearly answer Chris' question: "what is holding you back to  
contribute financially/technically to the project?". Is your answer "I would  
if the governance makes a commitment to reduce delays w.r.t. Ubuntu's  
releases and work on a new Unity-based edition"? If so, don't you think your  
contribution should precede this greatly augmented load of work for the  
developers (otherwise this augmentation may never be possible)?
