Discussion:
- topic view and team
- status.ubuntu.com
- works really great for tracking work items!
- would like to be able to reset the graph.
- proper support for milestones.
- making sure that getting list for individuals for team
(community member gets item in blueprint)
(assignee getting all the remaining items)
- mythbuntu and xubuntu were broken for auto testing through the cycle - net install issue.
- new iso tracker, education still needed.
- notification for first boot, and add to tester. -- report results on tracker.
- adopt an ISO - should we try to recruit subscribers for flavors? looking at subscribers. Extend way subscribe to test tracker future... (see iso tracker future).
- xubuntu doing a lot of daily testing.
- retesting actually working.
- documentation - in QA section of wiki.

- checkbox
- Milestones need to match in both in local-iso tracker, and weekly & final. but should not be overlapping.
- Next cycle more testing.
Hooking into translations - working fairly well. Hooking into langpacks (including Universe). SRUs for translations. KDE language packs. Signoff of image
- queue bots: publishing to team specific channel when images ready.
- Langpack content
UDS scheduling? - work with "other" track lead.
"derivative" vs "flavour" - official documentation needs to be cleaned up.
- http://
* might expand page name to "flavors and derivatives"
* the page might also point out that derivatives could include external distro based on ubuntu
