11.04 Alpha 2: February 3, 2010

11.04 Release Date: April 28, 2011

Release Overview

Actions Pending

  • UDS BOF/Post Mortem
    • [skaet] Rework release process pages to make explicit who/role, where and when; and apply refactoring (merging pages, checklist, etc. to make timeline not require back/forth linking). - IN PROGRESS

    • [release team] Need to schedule in advance who's on engineer and management tasks for each milestone in natty. DONE - see: ReleaseTaskSignup

    • [skaet] drive a discussion to resolve disconnect between what we're calling rc vs. a beta 2. Should we do a beta 2 weeks before, or rc and be strict about it? How many bugs tested post RC? Publish policy statement. Possibly adjust RC milestone to work around easter for Natty. - IN PROGRESS. Proposal is going to be for second beta on 4/14, and drop official release candidate on 4/21 - need to take to community and flavor leads for .
  • 2010/12/03
  • 2010/12/10
    • [skaet/ScottK] brainstorm with others on ways to help tackling the large number of linking failures backlog - IN PROGRESS

    • [skaet] figure out a way of calling attention to wishlist bugs(per: http://www.uk.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities), that are actually feature dependencies between teams (bug:56679, bug: 688142) - IN PROGRESS. Probably will need to have discussions at next UDS though for resolution.

Bugs and Features Summary

Team Updates

Overview

  • Alpha 2 tasks, as indicated by the burn down charts are starting indicate progress again after holiday break, but overall above trend line. Had discussions with ARM and Server team, and expecting changes post-rally. Will have better feel for which tasks move to Alpha 3 after the rally.
  • Not much motion on the current milestoned bugs over the holiday, but progress starting there again too.

  • Linaro Natty Freeze milestones have now been indicated on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseInterlock
