Let us loop back to the main issue. Can we come up with 3 to 5 event scenarios that LoCo groups could choose between as starters to build from? We've knocked out translations and packaging as possibilities. Randall has brought up marketing as well as some non-germane matters.
Debian Jessie's freeze is coming up on 2014-11-05 at 2359 UTC.[1] The event dates put us between UI Freeze and Documentation String Freeze. I am not sure when Release To Manufacturing falls for the touch images but it is likely around then too. My initial suggestions for activities include but are not limited to: 1. Patch upstreaming. We've got all sorts of patches for things sitting in Launchpad so let us see if we can push them upstream to get adopted. 2. Community reads of the documentation. We can have some "sanity checks" done on documentation by having non-DocsTeam & affiliates people read it for comprehension and try to apply it especially if it is text that has had changes over the past cycle. 3. A contest for bragging rights? Who can build their own counterpart to the Orange Box? Share blueprints/sketches/schematics to help get Ubuntu building as a more concrete notion than just ethereal software? Thoughts, suggestions, counter-proposals?
