I hope this won’t mean you will lose your forum and get lost in the official Ubuntu forum like Xubuntu.

According to @Wimpy the community will continue.

Nice to see you efforts are finally paying off!
Next consecration: entry in Distrowatch (that will not be in too long I predict).

One practical question: maybe the fact Ubuntu MATE becomes an offical flavour brings more changes under the hood that a simply version update.
Will it be possible to update from 14.10 to 15.04 in a button click, or is a fresh install recommended?

Good question about upgrade path. I have not tested it. Perhaps someone could test this in a VM and document the process?

Thanks Rodrigo.
This is really recent, right? Yesterday again I checked distrowatch and “ubuntu mate remix” was still on the list of “submitted distribution” and not to be found in the “search distribution” drop down menu!

EDIT: Indeed I saw since then that the paint is still fresh on Martin’s announcement.
