Xenial Xerus Beta 1

[flocculant at gmx.co.uk]

The first of the two milestones we're participating in for this cycle 
will land shortly for release on Thursday. [1]

The milestone will as always be recorded on the iso tracker [2] Once 
there are dedicated Beta 1 url's for our 2 tests I will ping the list 
with them.

While tests done in a virtual machine prove the state of the image, 
doing so on hardware where it is possible is preferred, though I know 
it's not always available to us all.

Please put aside an hour or so to help ensure the image is worthy of 
release.

Any questions - join #xubuntu-devel on irc.freenode.net - someone will 
help.

regards
