ISO generator for LoCo teams

[Stephen Michael Kellat]

I am looping LoCo contacts and the Council in on my reply.  The package used for this is ubuntu-defaults-builder which is maintained by coredevs.  If memory serves from the Utopic cycle, the Plasma 5 tech preview the Kubuntu folks were generating required special attention to have a UEFI-ready image available.  A member of Release Team was involved and at the time it was Colin Watson though he has different job functions now.

Harald Sitter and Sebastien Bacher show up as the two most recent changelog committers.  Inviting them plus somebody from Ubuntu Foundations for an Ubuntu Online Summit session would be beneficial.  A member of LoCo Council, depending upon availability, could act as session convenor.

ubuntu-defaults-builder serves as a nice wrapper to the underlying live-build system we inherit from Debian.  It isn't as graphical as SUSE Studio but it gets the job done.  Discussing the package's future as part of our localization story is a discussion we seem to need now.

Anybody willing to drive this forward?

Subject: ISO generator for LoCo teams

Hi everyone,
Let me talk about one of Ubuntu-fr project. For a while we made some localized iso of Ubuntu for french spoken people. All the live CD is in french and when you install it it's entirely in french. Firefox links point to Ubuntu-fr website instead of Ubuntu.com, and we have some package as Dash Privacy Interface to be OK with the french legislation about privacy.
But since UEFI we have some troubles to generate it and it's impacting our image as a LoCo.
I think we're not the only LoCo to have this issue. So maybe it could be a good think for LoCo (only) to have a studio to personalize an official iso for localization, and generate it with the same process as the officials releases are generated.
What do you think about this guys ?
Cheers,
Winael
