<pre wrap="">Happy Release Week!
I do not believe there have been any -1s to this proposal from any
flavor, nor from the Release Team, so I think it's time to move forward
with it.
In summary, what will now happen from here on out is that opt-in
milestones will be discontinued in favor of testing "weeks" (Tuesday
through Thursday). I can organize the testing weeks for the 18.10 cycle
(so we can get a process going), but from the 19.04 cycle and on,
representatives (probably Release Managers) from any active flavor can
(and should!) organize these testing weeks.
Additionally, I will look into the automated testing Steve brought up
shortly after the 18.04 release, with the goal being to adopt that
sooner rather than later. I'll write a follow-up email to ubuntu-release
once I have something to show for that.
Thanks everyone!

<p>One quick question here - imagine that :)<br>
</p>
<p>Given that we all (apparently) find it hard to get people testing
during the 3 days we currently get at milestone's - why are we
carrying on with that same tight schedule? You'll know the way
this happens - it's the end of the testing session and suddenly
someone is asking for help looking at their images for some
reason. <br>
</p>
<p>If we are going to just organise sections of time amongst
ourselves during these new periods - why not do away with "weeks"
and actually have a week - a real week. If we can't manage to
organise amongst ourselves for longer than a couple of days then I
think we should all pack up and do something else ;)<br>
</p>
<p>If not, then all that's really been accomplished here is making
life easier for Canonical (not that I disagree with us doing that
I hasten to add), we as flavours are gaining nothing.<br>
</p>
<p>We - as flavours - still have 3 days only to try and get people
to find 30 minutes in their life.</p>
<p>cheers - have good weekends</p>
<p>Kev</p>
<p>NB - personally I'd still prefer a system where I could stop my
image building - and then do whatever testing I wanted to - then
turn the build on again. <br>
