  Hi everyone,

In case you haven't yet noticed, I have
taken the time yesterday to work on many
things (think, plan, write, etc) and I
am done of many Blueprints (2 left
though because I felt so tired and
couldn't carry on) and to summarize all
that, I registered new one under the
name of:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntugnome-brainstorming/+spec/ubuntugnome-trusty-tahr-roadmap

  
  This blueprint has ALL the other 6
  blueprints and each are linked, etc. So,
  you should not be lost whenever you have a
  look :)
  

I am done with:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntugnome-brainstorming/+spec/qa-roadmap

  
  I also have worked on other blueprints more or
  less related to the above ones.
  

In order to move forward, you are required,
please, to have a read at these and vote as
explained.

  
  HOWTO Do that?

Each blueprint has detailed explanation :)
So, even if this is your very first time on
Launchpad, you still should be good. If you are
still in doubt, just ask. All what you need to do is
a Launchpad account :)

  
  I do hope before 1-1-2014 we are done from this. I
  maybe asking for too much but I am afraid we have no
  much time left.
  
  I still do need to steal sometime from my real life
  time for the other two blueprints. 
  

@Tim
I will need your help for:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntugnome-brainstorming/+spec/packaging-roadmap

  
  For the 4 blueprints I edited, I did my best to keep the
  suggestions as simple and short as possible. So, the Max I
  had to go was 5 suggestions for one and the rest have 4.
  

Since you are the developer, I believe you will be able to
edit the noted blueprint better :)

The above email was sent in 26th of October, 2013 :)

This was posted on our website on the 3rd of November, 2013:
http://ubuntugnome.org/urgent-need-for-more-contributors/

Same Call for Help had been posted on our Social Media: Twitter, Goolge+
and Facebook.

Good News?
We have so many replies and interested people.

BAD NEWS?
ONLY FEW are active and I have NO idea where is the rest? :(

Sad but true. While I can't deny I was expecting that but I set my hope so
high and was really interested to see more interested people.

Having that said, and to re-remind you of this email:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-gnome/2013-December/001240.html

Please be informed that we DO NEED more help, support and contribution.
Otherwise, and let me be super honest here, having an LTS release might be
really hard if not impossible.

Not trying to be negative here but rather honest and realistic. We are all
volunteers here. We appreciate your intentions but we do need your actual
contributions.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who responded
to our call of help and actually did contribute and still. THANK YOU so
much!

Happy Holidays everyone :)
