This informational specification describes a world in which the development base of Ubuntu is not source packages, but a revision control system. It describes both the Bazaar and Launchpad features that would be needed to do this, and the kinds of work flow that the distro team would like to follow with them.
Quality Metrics for Ubuntu
A first set of metrics are to be put in place during Precise. This session is to discuss about code coverage and test escape analysis.
Find an appropriate test case management tool and install it, find a way to integrate it with http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/. 1 cycle should be enough to install the tool and get the existing test cases that is worth keeping in there, we can also pilot the usage of it within QA before we move to the community using...
A list of conferences where we can discuss and present Ensemble to potential users.

All features and efforts involved in improving the stability, reliability, and robustness of Ubuntu Server.
Infrastructure for Server & Cloud products.
Provide a simplified installation method which asks a minimum set of questions immediately using a graphical user interface and completes the installation by copying the preinstalled live CD system to the target device. The existing implementation in Guadalinex should be considered as the solution or a basis for one.
This BOF is to brainstorm on the current release process and ways it can be improved for Natty.

At the time of writing a week after the release of Ubuntu 6.06, several installer issues have already arisen which are known to affect many users and which generate enormous numbers of bug reports. (This is not too surprising since we released a completely new installer frontend.) Part of long-term support for this ...
Currently we have a "no open ports" (pretending that DNS and DHCP don't exist) policy. This prevents us from doing any of the kind of automatic discovery features that we'd like to do. This BOF should discuss that policy, propose solutions to keeping security while enabling some network (or even over-the-air such ...
This will be an open discussion with Intel to go over current and future technologies in the pipeline. We will be discussing both upcoming technologies that will be seen in Karmic, as well as longer range technology goals that we may want to start thinking about in terms of impact through to the next LTS. Intel gr...
Video Playback for Ubuntu
Not sure if that one should be in the GNOME spec, but totem 3.2 switched to have only clutter-gst as a video playing backend (i.e no xv backend). We probably don't want to switch video players in a lts cycle but not sure if we should go with the new version (we staying on 3.0 which still uses xv for Oneiric). Clutt...

To prevent holding up the release we are scheduling upload times for OpenOffice.org. It takes roughly 17 hours to build on ia64, which is the slowest buildd, not to mention any time waiting to build in the queue. To give plenty of time for potential problems to be sorted out we should upload for an alpha release no ...

We currently maintain most Ubuntu Desktop packages in bzr branches and use bzr-builddeb in merge mode [1] with packaging stored in lp:~ubuntu-desktop/package_name/ubuntu. The other option was to use normal mode [2], but this was not chosen at the time due to the size of checkouts. My experience since moving to bzr...
We still have gconf, gtk2 and gnomevfs on the CD, we should see which ones we can drop from the CD for the lts and keep the porting work. We should be able to at least get ride of webkit-gtk2 and gnome-vfs during the cycle, the others will be harder though...

Mandriva's printing guru Till Kamppeter wanted to meet us in Paris to exchange some ideas and knowledge about the printing stack (cupsys, foomatic, gutenprint, etc.). So this is rather a meta-spec to allocate discussion time. From this, several concrete specifications may arise.
Keep Eucalyptus in 10.04 LTS in shape. This might mean SRUs, Backports, or maintaining a PPA.
Any attempt to make a "Dapper Standards Base" is likely doomed to the same failures that the "Linux Standards Base" have had. The need for a system against which people can certify and can also make derivatives is key to the success of Ubuntu. This specification provides a middle road that balances these two needs.
Processes and infrastructure related to Ubuntu derivative distros. (AdiAttar)
