Hi all,
we have had the communication below from Canonical, there won't be a
LoCo team allocation of DVDs for 13.04, but there will be something for
14.04. This is kind of a consequence of downplaying the non-LTS releases
and heading in a rolling release direction, whilst boosting the
importance of the 14.04 release - which is in theory the one that runs
on everything including desktops and phones and phablets.

Hi all, This is just to let you know that going forward, Canonical will
not be producing DVDs for standard releases.We understand that to
convert interested experimenters to Ubuntu users we need to provide and
outstanding initial user-experience, and the ability for the user to
explore and learn in safety with a supporting network of experts around
them. The LoCo teams are a key to that second part as you provide a
personal experience that's local to the user. While we love users to be
on the latest version of Ubuntu, the key thing for new users is a known,
stable and supported environment. So to make sure we provide that we'll
be shipping you the LTS release CDs rather than the latest standard
release. Therefore, there won't be DVDs for 13.04 as going forward our
focus will be on LTS releases. The next production of DVDs will be
14.04. To bridge the gap till 14.04,we will continue to supply 12.04
DVDs for events. You can request DVDs for events through Shipit as
normal.[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences] Thank you for your
continued and valuable support in making Ubuntu great. Michelle
