Shuttleworth: 2 year cadence for major releases: some progress
[Distributions] Posted Mar 15, 2010 14:45 UTC (Mon) by corbet

Mark Shuttleworth claims some progress toward his goal of having distributions synchronize their major releases and calls for more distributors to join in. "I think this is a big win for the free software community. Many upstreams have said 'we'd really like to help deliver a great stable release, but which distro should we arrange that around?' Upstreams should not have to play favourites with distributions, and it should be no more work to support 10 distributions as to support one."
