Dear Joomla Extension Developers
We need your to help spread the word!
We are currently planning the Joomla 2.5 marketing campaign. Joomla 2.5.28 is scheduled to be released on December 10th. As part of our campaign, we are asking extension developers to write a blog (of any length) that explains 2.5.28 will be the final release of the 2.5 series. Additionally, it would be helpful for your users if you provide documentation on how to upgrade your extension within your blog post.
Here is documentation by Jennifer Gress, Tom Hutchison, and Connie Lippert to help people plan for upgrading https://docs.joomla.org/Why_Migrate. The marketing team is preparing an information pack that explains 2.5.28.
Our goal for this campaign is to work together to help the community find the resources they need for successful upgrade planning. If you have suggestions on how else we can assist in this transition, please post here.
While we strive to be as efficient as possible, there are times when things don't go smoothly, causing stress and headaches for our user base and the community members who test and prepare our releases. This last week has been an example of some rough times for our releases, and though no single person or group is to blame for any of the issues that we've experienced with these last releases, they do highlight areas where our teams and workflows can improve.

Ok, so there’s been some questions about Joomla 3.4, the next big release for Joomla. I’m quite excited to be able to be a part of this release and we have some great things planned. Timelines are always the first thing people want to know; followed closely with what features will be available. In this particular release there are some additional new terms being used which may be helpful to define. Three quick topics, let’s discuss each in order.

Q: Will 3.5 be the LTS release for the 3.x series?
A: No. The strategies have been modified to not lock in a specific release as the LTS release of a series. Under the revised strategy, unless superseded with a newer minor release, there will be at least two years of support for the last minor release of a series. The concept of an LTS release is being eliminated in favor of this. For example, if 3.4 were to be the final minor release of the 3.x series, it would be supported for at least two years after its release.
