From https://ubuntu-mate.org/support/ it would appear that the main support mechanism is the ubuntu-mate.community discourse and associated LP bug reports against these packages. One question I have to ask is that from what I see over in the Ubuntu MATE discourse is that various folks seem to think you are focusing on NixOS now and have abandoned Ubuntu MATE (https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/plans-for-24-04-lts/27110/14, https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/plans-for-24-04-lts/27110/22) - although I can see you have been active in the ubuntu-mate github organisation. Can you clarify what your personal plans are going forward for Ubuntu MATE and specifically what that looks like for the proposed 3 year timeframe for a possible 24.04 LTS? > Thanks! > > -- > Martin Wimpress > Ubuntu MATE Technical Lead > bluesabre - Launchpad <https://launchpad.net/~flexiondotorg> > > -- > technical-board mailing list > technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board -- Alex Murray Staff Engineer | Security Engineering Adelaide, Australia (GMT+0930) -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
