I don't think it's "in addition to ubuntu-release", rather that some members of the release team will watch out for queries in the MOTU IRC channel. > * Set the Final Freeze date (typically at release minus 5 days) > for universe/multiverse for the packages that are NOT found on > any installation media. Last time we had UnseededUniverseFinalFreeze at release minus 1.5 days. I think it worked fine. This is also what the release schedule says, and what you (Kate) said earlier in the thread, so I'm a bit confused on this point. That said, I wouldn't mind tightening up our definition here a bit. We're using UUFF to mean "no more uploads after this point", which is a bit different to what Final Freeze means normally: "RC uploads only". It might be valuable to establish a cutoff for Universe FFes at Final Freeze time and a cutoff for non-world-ending bugfixes at UUFF time so that we can all focus on bug fixing after final freeze, albeit with a slightly lower standard for unseeded universe until UUFF. > * Broadcast universe/multiverse delegates and final freeze date to > ubuntu-devel-discuss and ubuntu-devel-announce. As above, I don't think we need specific delegates. Just let people know that release team members will be watching #ubuntu-motu on a best-effort basis and that questions should be addressed there.
