Right, I would prefer renaming it instead of removing functionality. The
whole reason I want this "Ubuntu Classic" mode is to retain functionality.

Patch pilot report 2012-04-23

2012-04-23 Thread Jamie Strandboge
Being release week, it was difficult to really do a lot with the queue
since I could only focus on SRUs and the ones I found fell pretty far
outside my expertise. That said, I made myself available in ubuntu-devel
and helped with:

 * review maas-provision apparmor profile changes, pointed out some bugs
   to the server team on the apparmor profile packaging and then 
   worked with roaksoax to iterate on various profile changes when using
   mass-import-isos

I then did an 'operation cleansweep' on bugs where the security team was
subscribed. I commented in a bunch, poked people on several and closed
21. While it wasn't a traditional patch piloting day, I do feel it was
constructive to attend to some of these older bugs.

It was pointed out to me that we still need the animal letter in the
blueprint title, so:

desktop-q-monoflamewar
servercloud-q-juju-charm-growth
qa-q-jenkins-is-awesome

and so on. Sorry for the confusion.

Blueprints for UDS-Q

2012-04-23 Thread Jorge O. Castro
Hello everyone,

As we wrap up the Pangolin I'd like to announce that you can file your
blueprints for UDS-Q on Launchpad here:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-q

This link is always linked from the main summit.ubuntu.com page. The
tracks for UDS-Q are:

servercloud
community
design
desktop
foundations
hardware
other
qa
security

All your blueprints should start with one of those names, example
"desktop-mono-flamewar", "servercloud-juju-charm-growth",
"qa-jenkins-is-awesome", and so on.

Tips and tricks for scheduling are now here:
http://summit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/scheduling.html

After you've submitted your blueprint you can ping the respective
track lead to get them approved, here's the list of track leads:
http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/tracks
After they've approved your blueprint it should then appear on the
schedule. Good luck! If at any time you are lost feel free to ping me
offlist or on freenode (I'm jcastro)

Unseeded universe needs *you*

2012-04-23 Thread Iain Lane
Greetings,

With the seeded world pretty much finalised for release, you might be
finding yourself with copious amounts of free time. Instead of twiddling
your thumbs, how about helping out the (unseeded*) universe? We have
just over a day until the Unseeded Universe Final Freeze, which happens
tomorrow (24/04/12).

You might like to

Fix / triage RC bugs that were reported in Debian but aren't known to be
fixed in Ubuntu yet.

  http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/bugs/rcbugs/

Fix FTBFS discovered by the recent archive rebuild. If these can be
fixed by syncing in new revisions from Debian that include new features
then the release team are usually willing to accommodate.

  
http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20120328-precise.html

Review the sponsorship list for things which we should squeeze into
Universe for the release.

  http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/

I'll try and make myself available for sponsorship and release questions
in #ubuntu-motu over the course of today and tomorrow. I hope others
will join me.

YEAH.

Cheers,
