Would you like to contribute to OpenFOAM maintenance to cover the cost of creating packs for new releases of Ubuntu as soon as they are released?

Can you provide funding to support OpenFOAM releases for Ubuntu?

@kothekarswaraj
You can see the supported releases of Ubuntu here:
https://openfoam.org/download/8-ubuntu/
As you may notice, OpenFOAM is mainly provided for LTS-Versions of Ubuntu (don't pay attention to 19.10. release).
Always provide new packages for OpenFOAM for every new non-LTS release is in fact not worthwhile because the time of support for such releases is something about nine month. Also there is always a new release every six month of Ubuntu.
So you see, it's much more affordable to develop and provide packages for OpenFOAM only for LTS-releases which are supported for five years (up to nine years).

I suggest you to make your calculations on an LTS-Release of Ubuntu, e.g. 20.04.

@henry
correct me please if I told something wrong here, just wanted to help out a bit.
