<br>
According to <<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule</a>>, this is<br>
the week we would plan to do Alpha 2 for Xenial if there was a need for one.<br>
<br>
And according to <<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseTaskSignup" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseTaskSignup</a>>, no<br>
one has signed up to do any of the work for this particular alpha milestone.<br>
<br>
Is this alpha needed by any of the teams?  The thought some time ago was<br>
that the continuous installability guarantees of proposed-migration would<br>
make specific alpha milestones unnecessary.  The Ubuntu team have been<br>
making use of this now for several cycles to great effect.  Are other<br>
flavors still finding these alphas necessary, or is the system of<br>
continuously-installable images working for you?  Does someone wish to step<br>
forward to drive alpha 2?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
