Natty Development
=================

General discussion about communication prior to release of Alpha, Beta
and RC ISO images and with regards to when people should be testing ISO
images (aside from day-to-day use) and how visibility of re-rolls are
achieve to ensure time is not wasted testing obsolete ISO images.

Everyone should now be testing ISO images as much as possible on both
virtual and physical hardware to smooth the way to A3.

        ACTION: ALL: ISO testing (including as much real hardware as
        possible) to smooth the way to A3!

Participation in #ubuntu-release and subscription to
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com for relevant images should help; robbiew agreed
to ensure that notifications to release candidates and re-rolls are sent
out through other channels to ensure awareness.

        ACTION: robbiew to ensure notifications of release candidates
        (and re-rolls) sent out.
