DRAFT

The Ubuntu Budgie Team is proposing that the Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) will be supported for three years as our first LTS release.

Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 will be our third release as an official flavour.
Had the 4th release in a non-official capacity. (Budgie-remix - 16.04)
Many consumers of Ubuntu expect and run the x.04 version to be an LTS release with a longer lifespan.
Ubuntu Budgie is formally a part of the upstream budgie-desktop team.
budgie-desktop v10.4 is designated at its LTS release. Budgie-desktop v10.4 will be maintained beyond the initial uplift to budgie-desktop v11.
Many of the packages shipped in Ubuntu Budgie are covered by Ubuntu developers (i.e., gnome-control-enter, mutter, xorg, etc.)

The primary focus of our support will be the budgie-desktop and associated applications that the Ubuntu Budgie org develops or maintains.
SRU - Ubuntu Budgie has PPU upload rights for our key packages. (To date we have only ever had 4 SRUs).
We have a bug test team of approximately 70 members with two official team leads from the Ubuntu Budgie team itself. To handle testing, with release management to be done by the team leads.
Ubuntu Budgie security updates will be managed by the Ubuntu Budgie Team.
Sponsorship and uploads will be handled by Ubuntu Budgie Team.

The Ubuntu Budgie team will be following the point release cycles with Ubuntu itself.
