[K12OSN] tentative roadmap, request for input

[Jim Kronebusch]

I figured as much.  I just want to follow the new Ubuntu/Muekow setup as
close as possible.  But with a release in October that leaves me just
shy of using it for next year in September with my new setup.  So now I
know to plan accordingly.

Thanks
