Ubuntu Studio 12.04 LTS

The Ubuntu Studio team is proposing that the Ubuntu Studio 12.04 release be supported for 3 years as an LTS release.

Considerations

• Xubuntu LTS Support Cycle Many of the packages shipped in Ubuntu Studio that are not shipped in Ubuntu are covered by Xubuntu. Xubuntu is applying for LTS status as well with 3 years of support for critical security updates.

• CVE Review Micah G. helped Scott Lavender and Janne Jokitalo review the CVE for the Ubuntu Studio packageset. See breakdown: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq2SNWIcKGyrdEVndWg1am1oczBVenFfR3VxSEJ1WGc#gid=0

• Debian Multimedia Ubuntu Studio has a fruitful relationship with the Debian Multimedia Team for bugs and packaging.

Point Releases

• Ubuntu Studio will be following the point releases with Ubuntu:

  • https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule

  • Ubuntu Studio 12.04.1: 19 July 2012
  • Ubuntu Studio 12.04.2: 31 January 2013
  • Ubuntu Studio 12.04.3: 15 August 2013
  • Ubuntu Studio 12.04.4: 24 January 2014

Support Plan

~ubuntustudio-dev team members will be the supporters of Ubuntu Studio 12.04 as an LTS.

additionaly support for XFCE will be realized from ~xubuntu-team.

Scott Lavender is the primary point of contact for Ubuntu Studio.

Ubuntu Studio security updates are to be handled by Scott Lavender and Janne Jokitalo, but will most likely not only require sponsoring but also some tutelage.
