Indeed, we took work items at our last UDS to focus a bit more on the
server testcases and try and bring more people into testing server.
Perhaps this would be an excellent opportunity for you to work towards
improving and testing ubuntu server. Take a look on iso.qa.ubuntu.com at
the server testcases for say a ubuntu amd64 iso to get a feel for what's
out there. Then help fix up, contribute new, or improve the testcases by
submitting changes to the ubuntu-manual-tests project on launchpad. You
don't have to go through the difficulties of creating a new team to do
this, rather rally the support that already exists and have at it.

I spoke with Scott Kitterman on IRC briefly about this, and he stated
that he thinks the existing server test cases might do what you are
already suggesting. Did you check all the testcases that exist in
order to see whether they actually do the kinds of tests you're
describing?

Or rather than a realy physical network, the services can be
tested on a virtual network or (cloud).

Thanks Thomas Ward. I will view the ServerTeam wiki to get an
idea of what they do. What I had in mind was not only do we
test the services and functions in ubuntu server but actually
deploy ubuntu server on an already running network and
evaluate how these services actually perform. By doing this,
notes can be taken on anything unexpected encountered, the
ease of deployment, ease of management and of course bugs.
Consider this a friendly experiment. After all the ubuntu
server cores and newly added services have been tested, get
them running servicing a real network. Then the quality level
of these services will be graded. Any service with a
satisfactory grade level will then be aggressively
promoted.
The same is done with Xubuntu and Kubuntu. All the required
testcases are tested and the system is then used as a
production desktop system. You get a better understanding of
the stability of the system, functions of packages and its
ease of deployment.
If there are any questions you need answered please ask.

Is there a launchpad group for ubuntu servers? If
there isn't one, I would like permission to start one
so we can start creating some server projects. I am
finding ubuntu server fascinating. It is easy to
setup, configure and scale. Rather than having
testcases, it should also have live use cases.
What do you guys think?

There is an Ubuntu Server Team already, but I'm not sure
that's what you're looking for.
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server
<https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-server> The server team
does a bunch of different things, and you can get involved
with the server team in a variety of ways. (start here to
read up on the team, though:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam). But again, I'm not
sure if what the server team does is what you want to have
this "Ubuntu Servers QA group" do.
I don't think the QA team has a server-specific group,
though, but I'm not certain what this "ubuntu server
group" you wish to create would actually do... perhaps you
can detail what specifically you think the group would do,
before we start deciding on whether to create a new group
for ubuntu server stuff?
