quality

Make the difference in quality between 12.10 and 12.04 at least as great as the difference between 12.04 and 11.10.

Testing

automatated

• continued boot time metrics (pgraner)
• can we add power draw tests? (pgraner)
• deeper, broader smoke tests (pgraner)

• extend per commit testing to at least one more upstream (LibreOffice)? (pgraner, jasoncwarner)

manual

• more rigorous community driven test cases and bug reporting (jono)
• more rigorous "calls for testing" (jono)
• proper attribution of bugs found via proper testing so that they are easier to find and fix (jono)

maintenance

12.10 archive

• more rigorously scheduled +1 maintenance (all)
• having the right packages in the right parts of the archive in a way that allows Canonical to focus properly (slangasek)

12.04

• rigorous kernel and other SRUs (pgraner, slangasek)

release

• reduced image set (skaet)
• tighter change control in images, especially around releases (skaet)

Development

• bug agents so teams don't have to monitor bug lists (rickspencer3)
• bug work flow (again) (slangasek)
• easier autobuild, etc... (???)
• using proposed for building and testing (skaet, slangasek)
• trying -updates to permit continued development during release weeks (skaet, slangasek)
• better use of blueprints to capture intent and test plans (skaet)
• revisit how we support flavors and other community projects, can we have more impact with our current investment? (skaet)
• tweeks or revisits to acceptance criteria? (jasoncwarner)
