I don't know, but it will be after Ubuntu 14.04 is released (Apr 17)

Patience. I know you are impatient for the next release to come out but you must wait, at least, to the release of Ubuntu 14.04. Then, Ruben, will do his work as best as he can.
In order to keep the good quality, he will not launch the next verion until it's "ready".

For some reason, I think the next version is going to be awesome.

So remember, patience is a virtue.

For me, Trisquel 6 runs like lightening and error free. Not that I doubt V7 will be any worse but if it takes a year to get it there so be it. I install so many other distros onto machines for testing that break with updates or for other reasons, why should I risk this on my main PC just because I'm in a hurry to replace a number 6 with 7? :)

Because I want to use all those new GTK+ themes.

And with all the madness that's showing in the different toolkits that is somehow grouped under the GTK+3 umbrella that's actually a pretty legitimite reason.

Not as legitimite as the reasons behind the "wait 'till the bl**dy thing is ready" approach, but still somewhat important :)

I want to run Trisquel on a server, but in the past I was worried about the stability of the project and releases. Technically, since Trisquel uses LTS releases of Ubuntu, I have around 5 years of support and longer deadlines for Trisquel releases don't hurt as much.

I'm sure most of you have heard that the Linux Mint team is going to be using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as their base for their next 3 releases. They will still have a 6 month release cycle, but each release will have that stable LTS core and they can focus on making each release more stable and not worry about the libraries and toolkits changing every 6 months.

Honestly, I think that Trisquel moving to LTS releases is probably one of the smarter things to come out of the project in the last few years. It allows more time for the team to perfect the OS with a stable base. The 6 month release cycles of the past added too much pressure with minimal benefits.

So with the community backports project for Trisquel 7. Trisquel 6 didn't follow through with this, but I can see some real potential for 7. Does the team plan on running their own repository or should it be as a PPA on launchpad like Elementary OS? That means that someone else can handle the bandwidth and it makes Trisquel more accessible to Ubuntu users that may want to grab something Trisquel has (or liberated) that they cannot get with standard Ubuntu.

I agree. Especially since the STS versions of Ubuntu are now supported only for 9 months.

I'm a big advocate for sticking to the LTS releases. While it's been slow going Rubén should have more time to work on 7 then has for 6. Hopefully we'll see support, stability, and functionality return to what it was (and more) in the days of the 4-5.5 releases. What I feel was/is missing right now is ISO updates with newer kernels, backported xserver, and backported hplip mainly. Components needed for maintaining modern hardware support. There may also be a need of backporting other software like abrowser and libeoffice.

Adding Orca to the pile, per Dave.

Most of us wanted the Saucy backports in the 6.01 ISO and in typical Ruben fashion, he didn't listen and did what he wanted even though supporters of his project and hardware providers (like ThinkPenguin) have requested the Sauncy stack for the new ISO to streamline the releases and cut down on unneeded work.
