Hi, Ubuntu MATE would like to participate in 16.04 Alpha 2. If no one else is able I might be able to volunteer. I'll confirm later if I can get the required time off work. Regards, Martin. <div class="gmail_quote">On 26 Jan 2016 05:38, "Steve Langasek" <<a href="mailto:steve.langasek@ubuntu.com">steve.langasek@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi all, According to <<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule</a>>, this is the week we would plan to do Alpha 2 for Xenial if there was a need for one. And according to <<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseTaskSignup" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseTaskSignup</a>>, no one has signed up to do any of the work for this particular alpha milestone. Is this alpha needed by any of the teams? The thought some time ago was that the continuous installability guarantees of proposed-migration would make specific alpha milestones unnecessary. The Ubuntu team have been making use of this now for several cycles to great effect. Are other flavors still finding these alphas necessary, or is the system of continuously-installable images working for you? Does someone wish to step forward to drive alpha 2?
