Based on this last cycle following either Kubuntu or Edubuntu dev seems sensible to me. One of the Edubuntu maintainers, Jonathan Carter, has agreed to keep Metacity and Gnome Panel alive so there may be some shared interest there ............. although comparing Openbox to Metacity is kind of like comparing apples to pears.

I'm glad the boss is thinking about this though :^) IMHO all we've been doing this cycle is testing more often with less cooperation from upstream, and that just results in frustration and burn-out. Does anyone know what happened with Greg Faith?

Regardless I'm in for the long run and I'll go along with whatever Julien decides. IMHO Julien is our SABDFL and his word on things is final :^)

Hi folks,
as you will no doubt be aware, plans for 13.10 are already being planned. To save a mad scramble after 13.04, if you'd like to give your views on what Julien has said on the matter. At the end of the day, you good people do the testing and whilst I have my views I will go with the majority decision on this. I ask early, as if we do go for alphas, I'm going to also support kubuntu in having the week put forward by one so that their alpha's fall in the kde release schedule.

Regards,
Phill.

Ok to follow Kubuntu on it, having them 1 week later is not really a

problem for us.

We can discuss again the need of Alphas and Betas after the release of

13.04. I'm not against going back to Alphas, as long as we can test

them properly.

Julien Lavergne
