If you like, you can work at adding a Cinnamon based meta for Ubuntu Studio. It's not that big of a deal really, once you learn what you need to know. You'll need a launchpad account, and a development release install to do the coding. Testing can be done either on a separate testing partition, or on a Virtual Machine. Both could be virtual, if you like.
