falling a bit behind for final Beta??
Hiya Adam, Couple of questions: 1) why hasn't there been a post to ubuntu-devel-announce to let the developers know we'll be freezing for final beta shortly? [1] 2) I didn't see a resolution on the mail list about whether we'd be doing the beta freeze tomorrow [2] or next monday. Right now it calls for tomorrow per the process page and the schedule, is this going to hold? What about UIF?

Re: Beta Process - reworked - DRAFT available for discussion.
Hi Release Team, I didn't see any feedback on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BetaProcessReworked so I've assumed its close enough, and replaced BetaProcess with it.It can be reverted if folks disagree. I saw Colin made some edits to both earlier today, and there's just no point in keeping two copies around. Hi Adam, Since I see you're down for this cycle for the checklist tracking [1], do all the tasks that were scheduled to be done today (Release minus 10 days) still make sense from Canonical's perspective? There were some I'd question. If they're no longer applicable, can you please delete them so we can clean up the list to just what is actually needed? Hi Pete, Are you still going to be putting together the release notes for this Beta [1]? Or with your new role, is this a gap?

There are '?' where its worth discussing what should be done.

13.10 (Saucy Salamander) Alpha 1 Released!
Perhaps I'm too saucy or provoking? -- Benjamin Franklin The first Alpha of the Saucy Salamander (to become 13.10) has now been released! This alpha features images for Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, and UbuntuKylin. Pre-releases of Saucy Salamander are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting and fixing bugs as we work towards getting this release ready. Alpha 1 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider testing. This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. While these Alpha 1 images have been tested and work, except as noted in the release notes, Ubuntu developers are continuing to improve Saucy Salamander. In particular, once newer daily images are available, system installation bugs identified in the Alpha 1 installer should be verified against the current daily image before being reported in Launchpad. Using an obsolete image to re-report bugs that have already been fixed wastes your time and the time of developers who are busy trying to make 13.10 the best Ubuntu release yet. Always ensure your system is up to date before reporting bugs. There have been some adjustments to the release schedule for 13.10 since the last vUDS, so for the latest plans, please check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseSchedule Kubuntu: Kubuntu is the KDE based flavour of Ubuntu.

12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) Final Freeze - now in effect.
Dear Developers, Final Freeze [1] is now in effect. If you know of a bug currently targeted for Quantal that is not going to get fixed in the time remaining, please decide if its a candidate for an SRU, and if so, milestone it as quantal-updates. Also, if its clear the bug is not going to get fixed in Quantal, and is not a good target for an SRU, please nominate it for a 'R' series task, and then mark the bug as won't fix in quantal. This will help the release team focus on those last key bug fixes we'll be trying to get included.

Starting off R blueprints and cleaning up Q ones.
Dear Developers, After tracking down and resolving several blueprints that weren't labeled properly so they'd get into the list[1] for R series and UDS planning, it seemed like a refresher of the conventions to use might be appropriate. ;) When registering a blueprint, most efficient way to get it created and sorted into the right place is to Register a Blueprint from r-series page [1]. Some conventions to follow: * Name: of blueprint should be of the form track-r-topic name * Propose for sprint: Ubuntu Developer Summit-R * Click on propose for series goal There are also some draft conventions[2] for the content to put in the blueprint that will permit automation. There will be a separate email to discuss those further. Would like to come to closure on this at UDS-R on standard format for all of us to use, so we can start making effective use of bots to help with the housekeeping tasks... And on that note ;), could approvers and assignees of blueprints, please take a pass through the current set of blueprints [3], and make sure they all are up to date by 10/4 1200 UTC.

Quantal Archive to remain in pre-release freeze until 12.10 Release.
Dear Developers, We've just released Beta 2 now, and I wanted to say thank you for all your excellent work on the release to date! :) We're now entering the final phase of polishing the release and removing those last nasty bugs. We will be keeping the Quantal archive in pre-release freeze state from now until release, due to the high rate of churn on some projects, and the need to keep the dailies building between now and final freeze. Please continue to upload your fixes to quantal (or quantal-proposed, if there is likely to be archive skew issues from the build), and they will be reviewed by the release team. Only bug fixes should be uploaded now, and features should NOT be mixed in with the bug fixes. If you have a compelling reason why a FFE/UIFE needs to be granted, please make sure that code is in its own upload, and discuss it with the release team on #ubuntu-release in advance. Some of the key dates coming up [1] are: * October 4 - Kernel Freeze[2], Desktop Infrastructure Freeze[3] * October 9 - Translation Deadline[4], Seeded Images Final Freeze [5] * October 11 - Release Candidate [6], and Release Note Content Freeze[7] * October 16 - Unseeded Universe Final Freeze [5] * October 18 - 12.10 Release As you can see, there not that much time left between now and Final Freeze, so all fixes to Critical/High bugs are most welcome in this next upcoming week. Thank you again for all your excellent work over this release cycle, and your help on feeding our Quantal Quetzal those last important bug fixes. :) Kate Stewart, on behalf of the Ubuntu Release Team.

Quantal Beta Freeze now in effect.
Dear Developers, Beta Freeze[1] is now in effect (Thursday, September 20). All uploads to the archive will now have to be approved manually by the release team, prior to inclusion. Please use the rls-q-incoming tag on any bugs found if its urgent to get fixed, so it comes to the attention of the appropriate development team as soon as possible. Also, this is now the time to review your blueprints, and for those blueprints with features ready, please mark them beta available or complete as appropriate. This will aid in generation of better release notes. If you have information that should be added to the techical overview for beta 2, the draft document is now available for input.

Default Languages on Ubuntu iso for 12.10?
Looking at the current daily images, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ Now that feature freeze is passed, we may end up having some space to add some additional language packs back in, since we've made the decision to no longer restricted to the CD size. Is this the list that's historically been used to decide which ones to carry? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers or was other criteria involved?

That's how things are. When we unfortunately hit a bug at the last minute, like happened last week, the release team needs to check how critical it's. If it's considered as a show-stopper, like was the case here, the only action to take is to fix it as soon as possible, re-test and then release. If we know it's technically impossible to get it re-tested in time, then we need to release a day later, but that's a very last resort as releasing on a Friday brings its own set of problems. Which kind of problems do you face when releasing on Friday? I think it'd be good for us to know the consequences as well. The problem with releasing on Friday is that we don't have as good coverage available to react to problems if they occur. This is standard policy for stable release updates as well as releases, and has become so as a result lessons learned the hard way. Exceptions do occur, but they are very special cases, and contingency/monitoring plans need to be figured out in advance. In the case of 12.04.1, we noticed on release day that an image didn't actually fit on its target media and apparently no tester bothered to actually burn it to a standard CD... You could use du next time right after the image is built to satisfy yourself that the size is good, it could be a standard check that you guys do. Certain mandatory manual tests can only be run if a CD is burned, specifically the AMD64+MAC based systems don't work with USB. We have added some static validation tests to jenkins and are in the process of publishing them. The information was already published on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily-live/current/ (and related pages). Its standard practice that an oversize indicator in bold red is published on the page, when an image is over a predetermined size as specified by the development teams. It was a failure of both the QA and release teams that no one looked at the page before Thursday. Release team had been looking at them pretty heavily the prior week, and thought we had all the issues solved. Based on discussions with Stéphane there are now plans to be adding an indicator to the ISO tracker to make oversize issues more visible in the future, as that is where some folks are now focusing, rather than the original publishing pages. I don't think we need to burn a CD to know if the image is going to fit or not. But if you want us to validate things manually, adding a test case to the current set in the iso tracker will help track that someone has bothered. Unfortunately I don't feel confident enough yet with the admin mode of the iso tracker to change anything, so your expertise there would be appreciated. There is the implication that a CD is burned in some of the test cases already, so I'm not sure that another test case need to be added, but rather an existing one be split to make it explicit a CD or when appropriate a DVD be burned as part of the test. If you have specific questions on admin'ing the iso tracker, please feel free to join us in #ubuntu-iso-tracker. There are multiple folk available (me, Jean-Baptiste, Nick), that can help as well. Anyway, looking forward rather than backwards, for Quantal the size is 800MB so, what media do you suggest we test on for size next week? https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-q-one-iso-for-q For Desktop, please test on both USB and DVD. For Ubuntu Server, please test on both USB and CD. We want to make sure both paths work since they are likely to be common based on what hardware folks have access to, and we'll be manufacturing CD's for Server, and DVD's for desktop, so making sure there are no significant problems is important. We found an obvious way of fixing it (removing a langpack) within just a couple of hours, got the change reviewed, tested, the image rebuilt, the content checked and then fully re-tested by 3 testers in less than 3 hours. Leaving us a good 10-12h before we actually released the set. In my opinion, it is not possible for 3 people to do 10 installs + 3 upgrades each to a good level of details in less than 3 hours. Yes, you can rush through things or split the test cases between the three of you, or consider some tests done because one test case is sort of a subset of another, and do some risk based testing, but the level of risk we are accepting is not clear nor understood by all the parties. Its a case of testing smart, which we should all be aiming for. I had good confidence after Stéphane, Jean-Baptiste, and Nick had exercised the tests, after discussing their methodology with them. We understood the scope of the changes and possible

If we know it's technically impossible to get it re-tested in time, then we need to release a day later, but that's a very last resort as releasing on a Friday brings its own set of problems. Which kind of problems do you face when releasing on Friday? I think it'd be good for us to know the consequences as well. The problem with releasing on Friday is that we don't have as good coverage available to react to problems if they occur. This is standard policy for stable release updates as well as releases, and has become so as a result lessons learned the hard way. Exceptions do occur, but they are very special cases, and contingency/monitoring plans need to be figured out in advance. In the case of 12.04.1, we noticed on release day that an image didn't actually fit on its target media and apparently no tester bothered to actually burn it to a standard CD... You could use du next time right after the image is built to satisfy yourself that the size is good, it could be a standard check that you guys do. Certain mandatory manual tests can only be run if a CD is burned, specifically the AMD64+MAC based systems don't work with USB. We have added some static validation tests to jenkins and are in the process of publishing them. The information was already published on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily-live/current/ (and related pages). Its standard practice that an oversize indicator in bold red is published on the page, when an image is over a predetermined size as specified by the development teams. It was a failure of both the QA and release teams that no one looked at the page before Thursday. Release team had been looking at them pretty heavily the prior week, and thought we had all the issues solved. Based on discussions with Stéphane there are now plans to be adding an indicator to the ISO tracker to make oversize issues more visible in the future, as that is where some folks are now focusing, rather than the original publishing pages. I don't think we need to burn a CD to know if the image is going to fit or not. But if you want us to validate things manually, adding a test case to the current set in the iso tracker will help track that someone has bothered. Unfortunately I don't feel confident enough yet with the admin mode of the iso tracker to change anything, so your expertise there would be appreciated. There is the implication that a CD is burned in some of the test cases already, so I'm not sure that another test case need to be added, but rather an existing one be split to make it explicit a CD or when appropriate a DVD be burned as part of the test. If you have specific questions on admin'ing the iso tracker, please feel free to join us in #ubuntu-iso-tracker. There are multiple folk available (me, Jean-Baptiste, Nick), that can help as well. Anyway, looking forward rather than backwards, for Quantal the size is 800MB so, what media do you suggest we test on for size next week? https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-q-one-iso-for-q For Desktop, please test on both USB and DVD. For Ubuntu Server, please test on both USB and CD. We want to make sure both paths work since they are likely to be common based on what hardware folks have access to, and we'll be manufacturing CD's for Server, and DVD's for desktop, so making sure there are no significant problems is important. We found an obvious way of fixing it (removing a langpack) within just a couple of hours, got the change reviewed, tested, the image rebuilt, the content checked and then fully re-tested by 3 testers in less than 3 hours. Leaving us a good 10-12h before we actually released the set. In my opinion, it is not possible for 3 people to do 10 installs + 3 upgrades each to a good level of details in less than 3 hours. Yes, you can rush through things or split the test cases between the three of you, or consider some tests done because one test case is sort of a subset of another, and do some risk based testing, but the level of risk we are accepting is not clear nor understood by all the parties. Its a case of testing smart, which we should all be aiming for. I had good confidence after Stéphane, Jean-Baptiste, and Nick had exercised the tests, after discussing their methodology with them. We understood the scope of the changes and possible
Ubuntu 12.04.1 (Precise Pangolin) LTS released!
The most important rule is to formulate, clearly and precisely, the goal to be reached, and then to retain it unswervingly in mind throughout all the stages of the execution, which are often long and complex. - Roberto Assagioli The Ubuntu team is very pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (Long-Term Support) for Desktop, Server, Cloud, and Core products. The Ubuntu LTS flavors are also being released today. In the 12.04.1 release, we’ve added support for the Calxeda ECX-1000 SoC family, so businesses can prepare for a datacentre dominated by low-energy, hyperscale servers by testing their workloads on the new hardware now.

12.04.1 Freeze updates
Dear Developers and Testers, The data center move had a few surprises, and some of you may have noticed we haven't had working image builders today.As a result, the last builds and testing prior to final freeze have been impacted. Fixes to be included in 12.04.1 should still be validated by 2100 UTC and copied into -updates. (original FinalFreeze). To give us time to get the final adjustments made (and builders to get back online and caught up), candidate images for 12.04.1 are targetted to be published on the iso tracker on 8/17. We're pushing out the 12.04.1 Release Note Freeze until 2100 UTC 8/20.

upcoming 12.04.1 release plans...
Dear Developers and Testers, As of 2100 UTC, we have started creating the images and ramping towards getting Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS ready to ship. All key fixes we want in 12.04.1 should now be in precise-proposed (or at least queued up to be accepted). We are now building daily images again for all the LTS images that will make up the 12.04.1 release. Precise daily images can be found on: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/204/builds Please try them out, and report on the iso tracker if you see tests passing or any issues. What’s going to be happening between now and when we release on 8/23? now - 8/9 Daily images built from -proposed, smoke testing, finding blockers (and fixing). No uploads accepted into -proposed without stable/release team ok. Fixes moved from -proposed to -updates. 8/10 -8/16 Daily images built from -updates, all key fixes should now be in -updates. Fixes again accepted in -proposed that won’t be pushed to -updates until after 12.04.1 comes out. Smoke testing, critical blockers and security updates until final freeze. Release note updates. 8/17-8/22 Candidate 12.04.1 image set produced and all mandatory tests executed. Images only respun on demand if absolutely necessary. 8/2312.04.1 released. If you have any questions, please feel free to ping Stéphane Graber (stgraber), Dave Walker (Daviey) or myself (skaet) in #ubuntu-release channel.

12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) Alpha 3 Released!
Welcome to Quantal Quetzal Alpha 3 image set, which will in time become the 12.10 release. Pre-releases of Quantal Quetzal are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs as we work towards getting this release ready. Alpha 3 is the third in a series of milestone images that will be released throughout the Quantal development cycle, in addition to our daily development images. The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Quantal.

Quantal Alpha 3 milestone release prep
Dear Developers, We'll be starting to spin the images for Quantal Alpha 3 tonight. We'll be continuing with the processes we used in Alpha 2, since they seem to work fairly well, until the tooling is deployable. For this milestone following rules will apply: - If a package is needed to fix a bug that would block the milestone, it should still be uploaded to quantal. - If a package does not touch any of the images, it can still be uploaded to quantal. - All other uploads should be done to quantal-proposed first. In particular, an upload that will increase the count of uninstallable packages in main, even temporarily, MUST be done to quantal-proposed instead of to quantal. Affected uploads include: - all shared library packages (due to multiarch) - any uploads that will leave packages uninstallable on one architecture while the autobuilders catch up (due to out-of-sync Arch: all / Arch: any binary packages) - any packages that introduce new versioned Conflicts/Breaks and require coordination between multiple source packages If you have any questions about where you should upload, please ask on #ubuntu-release first.

Re: Timing of EOL notices
On Fri, 2012-05-18 at 10:58 -0500, Jamie Strandboge wrote: Hi Kate, I took an action item at UDS to discuss with the release team the timing of the EOL notices. Because we are currently backporting the kernel (and eventually X stack) to earlier releases, the timing of the EOL notice has an effect on the support for people running an LTS with backported kernel/X packages. Because the security, kernel and desktop teams will stop performing security updates past the EOL, it the EOL happens earlier than the release day, there can be a gap in support. A specific example: 10.10 was EOLd in early April this year. 10.04 LTS users with a backported maverick kernel therefore no longer received security updates for this kernel after the EOL announcement (naturally), but these users did not have a viable upgrade path to maintain security support. They couldn't go to 10.10 (it was just made EOL) and 12.04 LTS was not released yet. I suggest the EOL announcement go out on the Friday or Monday after release such that there is at least a day of overlap. This is still within the spirit of 18 months support, even if it is actually off be a few days. How do you feel about it being release + 2 week task? That will account for the 25/27 week split, and still give us the 18 months. I don't think the pattern of 10.10 will happen again, so it should be treated as a once of, rather than systemic problem. Challenge is that there are a lot of events to track around the release going out, and bringing the new release on line. Adding the shutting down and cross checking that needs to happen, risks confusions occuring. Will release+2 weeks to shut down the -18month release work for your team?

A daily review meeting seems like a lot of overhead just to have packages doled out for review. Why should this be a daily meeting, as opposed to release team members claiming packages as they come in the queue and reviewing them immediately? I can certainly see that we might need more coordination between team members about what's actually going in, for you to have better control over what's going to trigger image respins. I just have my doubts that a meeting is the most effective way to accomplish that. If you've got better suggestions on how we can keep in synch with who's doing what reviews, etc. I'm definitely interested. If we had a queue audit, this would be less of an issue. But we don't have the queue audit and people don't remember to always flag in the channel that they were the reviewers of a package, so there's definitely been some wasted time, tracking down why something was approved. Also there have been a couple of times where people have flagged things NOT to approve in the channel, but left them in the queue as SRU targets, and someone else later came along and let them in. Would like to avoid seeing this happen this time around. Also, to the point in the my mail that -proposed is unnecessary overhead in the case where we know it's not causing uninstallability and we know we're going to take the fix: if we're asking whether to copy from -proposed vs. rebuilding into release, that's usually a good sign we shouldn't have used -proposed for it in the first place. Fair enough, maybe we should look at it the other way, and if things are uploaded to -release queue, and its clear they may cause issues, but we might want them as SRU or opportunity targets maybe rejecting and requesting they be uploaded to -proposed?

In that past we've started directing uploads to -proposed to make them available for SRU verification right at release. I see some potential in the end game for this new use of proposed to conflict with the old one. We should sort out how that's going to work in advance. Actually, for packages where we are not 100% sure about, the nice thing with that is that we can have it in -proposed, test it, and at that point still decide whether we want to copy to -updates or release. Yes; furthermore, given that we have to manually approve any uploads through the 'unapproved' queue anyway, if it's a fix that we know up front that we want on the CDs and it doesn't cause archive uninstallabilities, it would be more straightforward to just have these packages uploaded to the release pocket instead of incurring the overhead of pocket copies. I agree. Those should be the 100% sure cases. The flipside is that we don't want to be having to bounce lots of packages back out of -release and ask people to reupload to -proposed. So maybe this could be done as, no uploads to the release pocket without prior sign-off? LGTM. Seems reasonable to me.

Release Team Members: input requested...
Dear Release Team members, Thank you for your excellent work in getting our Beta 2 out the door! :) The use of -proposed for the first time was very cool to see in action and made the Unity and late Kernel changes go a lot smoother than they would have otherwise. The new queue bot was very useful at keeping down the adrenaline as well. :) Now that Beta 2 is out, and we're entering the last stretch before we put out the 12.04 LTS[1], there are a couple of things we need to figure out for the remainder of the month, especially on how we want to be managing the archive frozen period, and -proposed. A goal for this release is to have the image we produce at the start of the release candidate window be a true release candidate, and any images from final freeze on be potentially shippable. The schedules were earlier aligned to permit this, now its time to figure out rest of details... For the past 2 releases[2][3], we've kept the archive frozen after Beta 2 went out, until Final Freeze[4]. This time we've got two weeks until now and the Final freeze, so keeping it frozen and asking for review of all the bug fixes, etc. throughout would be a lot of work. On the other hand, if we want to be able to have TRUE release candidate image, a week before release, we need to start the hard choices about what fixes go in, and which ones go to SRUs, before the Final Freeze[4], based on past experiences.We also now have -proposed to leverage here, and experiment with as part of this. To mitigate risk, and make effective use of the release team's review cycles, I'd like to propose we try out the following for any packages in our seeded images (main+universe): now-4/5 - Archive stays open to bug fixes and approved FFes only. 4/5 - KernelFreeze[5], and archive goes into pre-release freeze state at 2100. Release team reviews all patches targetted to -release. SRUs can start to go into -proposed, and get reviewed at discretion of release team for opportunity inclusion into -release. 4/12 - Final Freeze[1] - ALL fixes should go into -proposed, and only copied into -release after review meeting. Full QA ISO testing run done at start, to identify problem cases. Release team meets daily for 1/2 hour at 1600 GMT in #ubuntu-release to figure out which fixes we want to include in overnight images, and determine who is best match for reviewing them for risk/upside, and copy vs. rebuild into -release. There should be no fixes being added, unless its a fix that a member of the release team specifically requests. Images continue to be built daily.All packages should be reviewed and built by 2300 GMT in -release, so they can be included in the nightly builds. 4/19 - CandidateWindowStarts[6] - from this point forward, any of images produced could be the final one. CRON job is disabled. The full set of QA results needs to be gathered on these images. Continue with daily release team meetings to agree if any additional fixes in -proposed MUST be included, and let QA teams know explicitly if another round of full manual testing is going to be needed. 4/26 - Ship it. Does this seem like a reasonable way to leverage -proposed? spread the release team review work to where it matters most and still accomplish goal? alternatives? Also, for those packages that are in unseeded universe, FFes and fixes will continue to be reviewed and accepted into -release until the FinalUnseededUniverseFreeze at April 24 at 0900 UTC (per earlier discussions [1]. Iain, Stefan, Stefano, Scott, Iulian - will one of you volunteer to be the focal point contact? Am assuming you all be using #ubuntu-motu to discuss/monitor unseeded universe during the time from when the archive freezes? Is this correct? Any other questions/issues/thoughts on the upcoming month? If the above seems reasonable I'll start updating the checklists[8] to reflect this, and working with the other teams to get us all coordinated.

Proposed new release team member
Dear Ubuntu Release Team members, I'd like to propose Stéphane Graber ( Edubuntu co-lead, Foundations team, IRC: stgraber) as a new release team member. With all the change he's been making to the release infrastructure to make all of our lives easier (new iso tracker, improved channel queue bot to work with iso tracker and frozen queues), as well as his technical expertise on Edubuntu and sorting out some of the nasty foundation problems, having him as a formal member seems a very useful addition to the team.

Precise Beta Freeze now in effect
Dear Developers, Beta Freeze[1] now in effect (Thursday, March 22nd). All uploads to the archive and any user user interface changes will now have to be approved manually by the release team. Some may be staged in -proposed before being copied into the release archive, at the discretion of the release team. The documentation team and translation teams will also need to be notified of any further User Interface changes. Dear Documentation writers, The one large piece that hasn't landed, and will impact the interfaces is unity 5.8.0 and some dependent pieces [1]. Since this is after freeze, we'll be using our new staging area, and uploading it to -proposed (hopefully tomorrow), and then moving it over after its checked out. You may want to look at taking screen shots from the version in proposed, or their PPA, or wait until it lands in the release. Thank you for your cooperation, Kate, on behalf of the Ubuntu Release Team.

Release Meeting - new format trial
As agreed at the last weekly release meeting, we'll be trying a new format today of an open forum question and answer session for the weekly release meeting. To make this efficient for everyone (and hopefully reduce confusion), would appreciate it if everyone tried to follow these conventions. At start of meeting, please wave or say hi so we know you're present and paying attention. Once the topic, becomes Question and Answer Session, when you have a new question to ask, or thread of conversation to start off, please raise your hand o/ If your just asking a follow up question/commenting on the current open question - just type. When possible, please target your questions to specific individuals by using their nick. Others should feel free to comment if they have information to add to the discussion. When you've finished your comments, please use the convention .. so we know you're done, and we can move on to the next queued up question. I'll try to call on folks in the order I see o/s showing up after the QA session starts. Once there are no more o/'s in the queue, we'll end the meeting, there won't be an any other business topic, etc. Suggestions on improving the above conventions are most welcome. I'll paste the above into the channel at the start of the meeting as well so folks have it handy. Thank you for your help in trying out this experiment.

Weekly Release Meeting - format change for Precise
Hi, Based on the discussions at UDS, we'll be changing the release meeting format a bit going forward[1]. The consensus at the meeting was to shorten the weekly IRC time down to just a QA round table (hopefully around a 1/2 hour) with a more detailed team status getting mailed before so folks can study and come up with questions before the meeting[2]. To make this effective, it will mean that a team summary will need to be mailed out to ubuntu-release at end of day on Thursday[3]. For ease of people finding/filtering the emails, please adhere to the following syntax for header of these emails: Subject: [team name] update In the text of the message please include: * What was done engineering wise? * What's about to land that might impact the other teams? * Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) * Dependencies on other teams, blocking items * Issues? The first of the weekly meetings will start up this Friday, Nov. 18th. I expect we'll be refining this as we go along, so if there suggestions on how to continue to make this more effective for folk, don't hesitate to raise them. Thanks, Kate [1]https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-p-release-meeting [2] Release meeting remains on Friday at 1600 UTC on #ubuntu-meeting on Freenode IRC.

End of support for Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) Netbook and ARM - 2011/10/29
Ubuntu announced the 10.04 Netbook Edition and Ubuntu for ARM products 18 months ago, on April 29, 2010. At that time, Ubuntu committed to ongoing security and critical fixes for a period of 18 months for these specific products. This support period is now ending, and on October 29, 2011 the 10.04 Netbook Edition and Ubuntu for ARM products will no longer be supported. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop and Server products continue to be supported. The upgrade path from Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook and ARM is to Ubuntu 10.10. Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for Desktop and Server products continues to be actively supported with security updates and select high-impact bug fixes. All announcements of official security updates for Ubuntu releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce mailing list, information about which may be found at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce. Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes, schools, businesses and governments around the world.

Proposed Schedules for next few releases
Dear Release Team Members, Based on the developer input gathered by Alison earlier (Thanks!), and other feedback received through this cycle, I've updated the straw man proposals for the next 5 releases. Highlights: even them out from 28/24 weeks to 27/25 weeks. Move Feature Freeze after Alpha drops and even out its timing a bit too. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PReleaseSchedule 27 wks, FF@18 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QReleaseSchedule 25 wks, FF@17 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RReleaseSchedule 27 wks, FF@18 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SReleaseSchedule 25 wks, FF@17 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TReleaseSchedule 27 wks, FF@18 Please review and let me know if you can see some factors overlooked, or interactions that need to be considered. At UDS-P we'll be doing a final review of the P Release Schedule milestone dates and freezes, before removing the **DRAFT** from P Release Schedule.

P Release - Interlock with other events
Dear Release Team members and other interested upstream developers https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PReleaseInterlock has been set up to track interactions between other projects and Ubuntu Development release. If you know of an upstream release date that we all should be aware of and considering, please add it to the other community events column.

FinalFreeze - implications on Universe?
Dear release team members, Based on some discussions we've been having on the other Freezes, would like to see if there is consensus to make FinalFreeze[1], apply to Universe as well as main. Right now the process states: For packages in universe that aren't seeded in any of the Ubuntu flavors, this final freeze is nominal; packages must be manually accepted by the archive admins, but no additional approval is required. There's no timing on this, but historically we've not been accepting into the archive after a certain point. What is seeded is also a bit ambiguous these days as well. So... 1) does it make sense to declare FinalFreeze to be freeze on all the archive? or 2) do we want a separate explicit universe Freeze (and be clearer what is ok to upload in the period between FinalFinal freeze, and this date) or 3)... Thoughts?

Should we revert that one change (not provide libjpeg-dev in libjpeg8) or should we try to do the transition? There are a number of incomplete transitions ATM (libnotify, libssl, libav, boost1.4.6, and a few more with ~10 packages each). Attached are a list of rdepends affected. ...ouch. Given we'll be putting out the A3 release next week, and I don't believe this update and transition is essential, my preference would be to revert it for now, and then after A3's out, assess if if makes sense to pull it in and manage the transition, or wait until P-series for this one. Given all the stuff about to land for A3 and Feature Freeze almost upon us, it seems a bit risky to add this in, esp. with folks going on vacation right now. What do others think? I agree, best to back this out. Micah, will you upload the necessary change? (Sooner better than later, so we don't drift too much while libjpeg8-dev is the default?) Actually, libjpeg8-dev isn't the default ATM. Anything with libjpeg-dev as a build depend will FTBFS since 2 packages provide the same virtual libjpeg-dev package. I'll prepare an upload to fix, but I need it sponsored still. Thanks, Micah This has been uploaded and should be available after the next publisher run. Thanks Micah! :) Kate -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
Unscheduled Debian Archive Synch
Dear Developers, As some of you may have noticed, we had an unscheduled Debian archive sync earlier today. This was caused by a javascript bug uncovered while doing some final testing on the new launchpad native sync capability (which will allow those developers with upload rights to sync those packages they have upload rights for directly). Basically a sync only this package got translated into a sync everything. To see if any of the packages you care about have been affected, please review the attached files (any further updates can be found at [1]): - synced_in_main - list of main packages affected. - synced_in_universe_multiverse - list of universe/multiverse packages affected. - packages_with_diff: contains a list of those packages that got synced even though there was an Ubuntu update already (yes, another bug was found). Didier has been manually cleaning these specific packages up, but would appreciate additional review and help with a couple of the affected packages. All of the affected packages have now been marked for building, so there may be some instability until they get rebuilt and incorporated. The launchpad team has reproduced the bug on their staging server and will be doing further testing there. We will be testing it again on the live system to ensure no other inadvertent side effects before this capability is generally rolled out. Thank you for your patience and help while we get this sorted.

Improving releases - feedback and ideas from 10.04.3
Last Friday (7/22), there was a feedback meeting held for the 10.04.3 point release. The meeting was called so that ideas and suggestions for point release improvements could be captured, while they were all still fresh in our minds. Many thanks to those who were able to participate. :) For those interested, the summary of the discussions has been documented [1]. Please feel free to review and add comments or propose solutions, the point release process page[2] will be updated based on the feedback starting next week.
