+ At this point it appears that it is proposed that:
  
  1.  Semi-annual release cadence is disappearing
  2.  There will not be a 13.04 release
  3.  Support and stable release updates are going to decline in importance.  It was noted that we must move forward rather than preserving the past in mainline Ubuntu
  4.  There will be daily rolling releases with monthly roll-ups.

+ not necessarily align.  In terms of contingencies at present and
+ considering potential action, we have to consider:
  
  * With the possible dropping of the 13.04 release, how do we effectively conclude the goals we set for this cycle?
  * What process should be put in place before UDS-1306 to determine milestones and goals for Xubuntu to take us into 2014-04?
  * How can we effectively backport our efforts from this cycle and 12.10 for inclusion in 12.04 to ensure nothing is lost from prior efforts?
  * What are we going to do with Xfce 4.12 having a release target of 2013-03-10?  Are the timing of new Xfce releases going to give us issues akin to what the Kubuntu team is facing with KDE SC releases?
  * What contingencies arise that will impact Ubuntu Studio downstream from us?
- * What contingencies that the Kubuntu team are facing equally affect us?
- * How can we increase availability and usage on armhf devices such as BeagleBoard-xM?
+ * What contingencies impact that the Kubuntu team also affect us?
  
  This is not exhaustive but meant to open discussion.
