Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Coming Ubuntu Studio Releases
Hi, It is not necessary to have packaging experience. But if it interests you, it can be learnt over time. There are plenty of roles you could take to help keep Ubuntu Studio alive. Checkout our wiki, and all the different roles and teams, and sign up! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio Let us know what you would like to try working on, and what experience you have. What do you use US for at the moment? As a first step to helping with the up and coming releases, you could test the Artful & Bionic Daily ISO images, and report your results (good and bad): http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ Of course, I have been focusing on testing, but there is bug triage, documentation, website, joining in on forums/mailing lists, and trying to help users as best as you can...

Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Coming Ubuntu Studio Releases
I am very interested in stepping up thing is I have no previous experience in such a role. I also do not have any experience with packaging or anything of that sort?

Who is around to do the Release Manager duties for the 18.04 Final Release (testing, confirming when images are releasable, writing release notes, helping with website/social media announcements)? Should we release 18.04 at all?

There is enough with just application upgrades to make it worthwhile I think. The other end of it is that if 18.04 is not released, it is probably not worth keeping Studio around at all. 16.04 is already too old in many ways... the big thing is that developers of some of applications Studio ships are getting bug reports on issues they have fixed years ago. Unless someone has the time to step up and steer this beast, I think it is finished. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
[ubuntu-studio-devel] Coming Ubuntu Studio Releases
Hi All, We have some coming release dates that require testing of the ISO images. Ubuntu Studio 16.04.4 Xenial point release: The date has been put back to the 1st of March. I should be around for that. Ubuntu Studio First Beta: As far as I know, we have no new features to test, so we should probably opt out of this release. Ubuntu Studio 18.04 Final Beta: April 5th. I should be around for that. Ubuntu Studio 18.04 Final Release: April 19th - 26th. I will not be available for that (due to work). Who is around to help testing for the first 3? Who is around to do the Release Manager duties for the 18.04 Final Release (testing, confirming when images are releasable, writing release notes, helping with website/social media announcements)? Should we release 18.04 at all?
