Edubuntu Revival

[eeickmeyer at ubuntu.com]

Hi Release Team,

Just giving this a bump as I haven't heard anything in response to this
since I posted a week ago. As you can imagine, we're anxious to get
moving on this.

I'd very much like to know what it is we need to do on our end to get
Edubuntu rolling again at this point, since we've received the go-ahead
from the Technical Board [1] and need Release Team coordination.

Thanks,
Erich
