BOF release team to review current processes, clarify and simplfy when possible
This BOF is to brainstorm on the current release process and ways it can be improved for Natty. Some of the open questions up for discussion:
- There are more projects now interacting (ubuntu on cloud, linaro, and other flavors), that need to have inter-dependencies clarified.
- There are many process pages for managing a release is scattered over many different WIKI pages, and the role as to who needs to do which tasks is not always clear ( does it make sense to create a unified summary page with roles a bit clearer? ).
- How to get better feedback/bugs earlier in the release cycle?
- Interaction between stable release updates and linaro
- What images do we really need to create with each release?
