Hi all, This is the "official" call for discussion about Ubuntu Server/Cloud planning for the 13.04 cycle. As a reminder, this is a non-LTS release, thus it is a good time to get in your more daring and innovative server features, as we typically like to use the following LTS-1 (13.10) release to harden the key features we want to highlight in the next LTS (14.04). However, please keep in mind this is *not* true for our cloud guest images, where users regularly deploy production workloads on non-LTS Ubuntu Server releases, so we might push back on features that impact these users.
The process will be conducted as follows: 1. A call for blueprints, i.e. *this* email. 2. Create blueprints that start with "servercloud-r-", mark Dave Walker[1] as approver, and propose them for uds-r[2]. 3. Send an email to [email protected] to let us know you submitted the idea, as sometimes we can lose the LP notification amongst our other LP spam. We will then review the blueprints, ask some clarification questions, and then approve the ones suitable for discussion at UDS. 4. UDS happens 5. We provide a final roadmap for 13.04 post-UDS Note that Dave Walker will be coordinating the Cloud & Server track. We will also automatically include 12.10 blueprints[3] marked, "Deferred" in our review for this cycle, assuming it makes sense to carry them over. Below is the schedule with some details. = Oct 2nd: Request for Topics = This email = Approximately three weeks post UDS - 13.04 Planning Review = About three weeks after UDS (post FeatureDefinitionFreeze[4]), we will deliver the UDS 13.04 plan to capture what was actually decided as the plan of record at UDS, and present that information.
