Launchpad group for ubuntu servers

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Indeed, we took work items at our last UDS to focus a bit more on the 
server testcases and try and bring more people into testing server. 
Perhaps this would be an excellent opportunity for you to work towards 
improving and testing ubuntu server. Take a look on iso.qa.ubuntu.com at 
the server testcases for say a ubuntu amd64 iso to get a feel for what's 
out there. Then help fix up, contribute new, or improve the testcases by 
submitting changes to the ubuntu-manual-tests project on launchpad. You 
don't have to go through the difficulties of creating a new team to do 
this, rather rally the support that already exists and have at it.
