Hi Kris,
We appreciate the offer, but we currently have temporary hosting set up
and one of the perks of being an official Ubuntu flavor is that
Canonical is supposed to give us hosting. They're just being slow to get
the ball rolling. I'm probably going to ping the Information Services
team within the coming weeks to see what the hold up is. Chances are
they just haven't prioritized us.
We do, however, appreciate it!

Hello all,
If I may, I am a web hosting reseller and I would like to offer up hosting for
Edubuntu.org or even if a temporary area is needed. I would just need to know
what requirements we would need. If there is any interest in this let me know.
Thanks,
Kris

Subject: Re: Edubuntu 24.04 LTS Qualification
Hi Erich,
Thanks for taking the time to elaborate - this looks great. Can I please ask
that once a suitable location is established for Edubuntu that these details be
documented there too?
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Since this is the first LTS for Edubuntu in 10 years, I understand the need for
a few more details than provided for Ubuntu Studio. Unfortunately, there's a
few caveats with regards to a semi-permanent location:
* The current edubuntu.org website is a temporary placeholder until IS works
on the RT for bringing back the original edubuntu.org website that was sunset
not 6 months prior to my RT.
* The entire wiki area for Edubuntu is severely outdated and, considering
everything is moving to discourse[1], I don't recommend anyone use it.
With that in mind, I think the semi-permanent location will have to be this
very thread in the lists.ubuntu.com archives.
Now, on to the main topic (statement of support):
* Edubuntu 24.04 LTS will be supported for 3 years.
* Our support is limited to the educational and instructional packages we
include as well as our own developed utilities (e.g. Edubuntu Installer,
Edubuntu Menu) as well as any GNOME extensions we provide
(gnome-shell-extensions-alphabetical-menu)
* The desktop environment is maintained by the Ubuntu Desktop team as
Edubuntu is mostly an add-on to the Ubuntu Minimal seed.
* Most applications come from Debian and are maintained upstream.
* GNOME packages not maintained by the Ubuntu Desktop team are maintained by
the Debian GNOME team. We work closely with Jeremy Bicha for advice and bugs on
these packages.
* Bugs are filed against packages in Launchpad.
I think that should cover it.
Thanks,
Erich

Hi Erich,
Thanks for submitting this - it's great to see Edubuntu coming back
into the LTS fold :)
From my perspective the only thing missing here is a statement of
the level of support that users can expect for Edubuntu 24.04 LTS.
Similar to the thread for Ubuntu Studio

can you please also provide a statement on the support plan? As part
of this could you also please include details on where users should
file bugs etc since even though Launchpad is the defacto for Ubuntu
it may not be the case for flavors, so it would be good to have this
stated explicitly even if this is the case for Edubuntu too.
Finally, would you also be able to also have this support info
documented somewhere semi-permanent like the wiki or on edubuntu.org?
Thanks,
Alex

Good morning technical board,
For the first time in 10 years, Edubuntu would like to qualify for
LTS status for 24.04. We have had two successful non-LTS releases as
an official Ubuntu flavor again and have a solid team (~edubuntu-dev).
I'll serve as primary point of contact for development purposes with
amypenguin serving as secondary contact/team lead. Support period
would be 3 years.
Thanks,
Erich
