On Feb. 1st I sent a message to this address titled; "Is the change to Unity intentional?".
Did anyone receive that? If so who received that? I sort of think the "users-list" is not what I want. I'm subscribed to so much stuff now that just reading my mail eats my breakfast, lunch, and supper. Some of you know by now I'm the one that pulled the plug on the Alpha 2 live image because it gave an entirely false representation of Lubuntu's DE. I'd actually intended to postpone the entire Ubuntu Alpha 2 release by at least 24 hours but I lost that battle. Perhaps most importantly I was freaked out having not discovered the problem until release day so I used my hole card and PM-ed Mark Shuttleworth himself. Mark responded within just minutes and put me in touch with Pete Graner who was very helpful. I didn't agree with the outcome but most importantly we need our own "panic button" because I can't PM Mark frequently or it'll become akin to "crying wolf". Is the "users-list" the best we can do for a panic button? On my part I'm starting a dialogue with the QA community coordinator: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11663232&postcount=15 Any and all suggestions are welcome. I'm not complaining and I hope it doesn't come across that way. If anyone's at fault here it's me, I just want do be able to do better in the future. In this case I really needed a response to my question about the unity-like DE being intentional. Had I known sooner we'd have this image listed for Alpha 2: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/206/builds/11180/downloads I have PM-ed Pete Graner and requested that the Alpha 2 announcement and release notes be amended but I've so far gotten no response.

But this should be the link to the images: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11655826&postcount=1 The alternate images still show the old New Year greeting. What should we be seeing? --- On Wed, 2/1/12, Lance <[email protected]> wrote: From: Lance <[email protected]> Subject: [Lubuntu-qa] Is the change to Unity intentional? To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, February 1, 2012, 5:53 AM Please look here: [email protected] But there's no real need to respond there. I have mixed feelings about that. It looks good but I miss the traditional menu, and I hate surprises at my age. I just need to know what the intent is, then I can pass that on.
