The goal is to describe the steps Ubuntu One software needs to take to nominate an Ubuntu One bug for freeze exception. This provides a bit more detail than the general [[FreezeExceptionProcess|Ubuntu freeze exception process]], so think of it as a supplement. :)

== Steps to nominate a bug for a freeze exception ==

 1. Let team mgr. (desktop+, foundations+, ops+) know you think bug needs to go into Ubuntu
 1. Make sure the bug includes the following:
  * Needs both a package and U1 project bug
   * Project bug should be at end of [[/UbuntuOne/Bugs/WorkFlow|bug work flow]] (where dev starts work)
  * Provide a reason for the exception in the bug description
  * Provide acceptance tests
   * Either point to a wiki page with the tests or include in the bug description
  * Add tag: ''freeze-exception''
 1. Notify
  * [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~ken-vandine|kenvandine]] or [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~rick-rickspencer3|rickspencer]]
  * Make sure they know when we expect the upload to be ready so they can set the milestone on the package bug
  * UI freeze exception?
   * Send email notifying:
    * documentation team - https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc
    * translation team - https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
 1. Subscribe ubuntu-release, ken-vandine, rick-rickspencer3 to bug
