A quick summary for people who couldn't attend (or couldn't attend every session).
As this is an LTS cycle, there was a heavy emphasis running through the whole week on quality, stability, testing, and clearing out bugs. Ubuntu project: - Hosted a leadership summit, community leaders getting together, highlighting community opportunity to participate, how to grow and support our leaders, building an appreciative culture, constructive criticism, leading by good example - Starting up community user experience/design team, with a project this cycle to explore one user journey and implement improvements - Ayatana list to be replaced with specific lists for collaborating around TV, tablet, phone, and around user journeys - Revitalizing papercuts project - Putting together an advisory board around onboarding new developers - Continuing work on Harvest - New initiatives around app developers, next iteration of developer.ubuntu.com - Ramping up the ARB to handle increased demand - Consider closing REVU, pointing devs to IRC instead (where the current activity is), longer-term consider integrating NEW package review with mentors.debian.net - The weekly release meeting is taking a new streamlined format, Kate will send out details. - LTS designations for flavors will be reviewed/approved by the Ubuntu Technical Board.
