Around 6 months since Ubuntu 14.04 came out and unfortunately I've had to use Ubuntu due to upgrading my PC components back in April. Of course I went out of my way to get free software friendly hardware, but I didn't want to go back to 12.04 code.

Just release the damn thing already so I can get off of Ubuntu and upgrade my servers.

I'm pretty sure Trisquel 6 was released late like this too, wasn't it? So it's not really anything new. In fact, I remember Trisquel 6 being released right around the time that Trisquel 5.5 was losing upstream support, so the situation this time is much better.

Honestly, I'm not complaining. I'd appreciate having wxWidgets 3.0 available so I can try Game Develop (that's an interesting game development program that became libre recently), but I've got other things that I can do in the meantime.

"Just release the damn thing": is it a way to communicate with the
developers of Trisquel who, if I'm not wrong, didn't sign something
with you agreeing to release this version at some date? Id' rather
thank them for the great job they do in order for us to be able to
launch a good and fully free distro.
Just my two cents.

Well, I did buy jxself a few beers at PAX in Seattle a few years ago so I guess that counts?

I know it's not "released" yet, but if you need the bleeding edge, isn't it possible to try Trisquel 7 "as is" before release? I seem to hear people are already beta testing it.

In fact, t3g, it looks like you've posted about trying 7 already so I suspect I'm missing a subtlety here.

Exactly, you can run T7 today so long as you are prepared for odd little issues to arise - work in progress and all of that. Personally I have found it to be brilliant so far but I'm could be the exception.

I direct people to the pre-release media on devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/ What conditions have to be met in order to have a release called "ready"? For my purposes, it's close.
