Hi Everyone - With 12.04 LTS around the corner, it is time to be crisp with our language about what it means to be a LTS and an Ubuntu flavor. Part of the that is clearly delineating roles and responsibilities as well as articulating the criteria required to be accepted as LTS[1].
The wiki explains and outlines the guidelines required to be a recognized flavor as well as what is required by the tech board for LTS consideration. Further, the wiki explains what services and resources will be provided by Canonical and what is expected to come from the community. Practically speaking, not much should change. Community leaders should drive the flavors in terms of vision, direction, scope, day-to-day work items and release. Canonical is committed to providing the various bits of infrastructure as well as the platform upon which to build the flavors. The move aligns all flavors to a community driven and supported model with Canonical providing core infrastructure. More specifics on what support is Canonical provided vs Community is on the Ubuntu wiki[1]. LTS details[2] and Ubuntu flavors[3] are also on the wiki. Thanks everyone, Jason [1] - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedDerivatives [2] - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [3] - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFlavors
