My position is that we only participate in the Final Beta.<br>
<br>
My reasoning being :<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li><span class="author-g-tkgsbwca10vmw9mc">1 - while we might
get a handful of people testing - they only see what's been
listed - rarely see new things listed</span></li>
<li><span class="author-g-tkgsbwca10vmw9mc">2 - </span><span
class="author-g-tkgsbwca10vmw9mc"><span
class="author-g-tkgsbwca10vmw9mc">users think it's
something to use for weeks and weeks - totally breaking
the use of the dailies</span></span></li>
<li><span class="author-g-tkgsbwca10vmw9mc">3 - </span><span
class="author-g-tkgsbwca10vmw9mc">more work in-house dealing
with both release notes on wiki and website</span></li>
<li><span class="author-g-tkgsbwca10vmw9mc">4 - we have to
provide someone now (read one of the release team - read me
;) ) and again to run the milestones with -release team</span></li>
</ul>
<p>While points 3 and 4 deserve mention - it is points 1 and 2
which are more important imo.<br>
</p>
<p>I don't believe that we gain much from doing the first beta and
it in fact is more likely to cost us.<br>
</p>

I agree with Kev,<br>
<br>
one beta is more than enough for an LTS+1 cycle. We also have quite
a lot to do with 16.04.1, so attention will be split there too.<br>
<br>
