Hi Greg/All,
we have seen 3.4 was announced to be an LTSI in Aug, 2012. I'd like to
know what is the next LTSI version since we might want to align our
next release with LTSI.
That might help us to plan the release cycle.
BTW, how many people and SoC vendors in ARM communicaty want to align
your releases with LTSI?
Thanks
barry

Who is "we" here?

As I've stated before, I do not announce the long-term kernel ahead of
time, we did that once in the past and it was a total mess. I announce
it _after_ the kernel is released.
I have also stated that 3.8 is NOT going to be a long-term kernel, that
would mean I would be handling 3 long-term kernels at once, plus 1-2
"normal" stable kernels. That is a sure way to drive me crazy and burn
out.

I do not know. There was an LTSI meeting last week at ELC where this
was discussed, I suggest you ask the people who attended it. I was
there, but it's not up to me to release the meeting minutes, and I
wasn't taking notes, sorry.
thanks,

if so, is there a time window for next LTSI? i am hoping there will be
another one in this year?

I don't take anonymous "we want this" requests serious at all, sorry.
Please provide details as you are asking me to do work for you, right?

Then my generic response is going to be, "It will be announced when it
will be announced."
