## Spotlight: Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) released!

Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) released on October 17, 2019. In this new
release serveral major server packages have been updated to the latest
upstream
version. Among these: QEMU 4.8, libvirt 5.4, MySQL 8.0, PHP 7.3, cloud-
init 19.2.
The ppc64el and arm64 live-server ISO images are now considered
production ready

architectures. Check out the release notes [2] for more details!

## cloud-init

cloud-init is moving from Launchpad to GitHub! Daniel Watkins and Ryan
Harper have
been working on getting initial travis.yml together for allowing travis
to run our
CI tests, and we are already green at https://travis-ci.org/cloud-
init/cloud-init.

We are currently sorting out the rest of our CI, but the expectation for
the
community is that we'll soon have an announcement and simple procedure
to get
folks contributing with pull requests @ https://github.com/cloud-
init/cloud-init
instead of posting branch review requests at
https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init.

Here is the usual commit summary:
