Hi folks, you might notice that we didn't have an Alpha 1 out today. That was partly because our packages aren't published and ready to go, and the other is that none of the other flavors were ready either.
Or, perhaps they didn't want to do all that extra work. Because I've never been involved in releasing before, I didn't realize that "The community flavors that choose to release alpha milestones (and the beta-1 milestone) are responsible for finding the resources to make these milestones happen. In general, releases will not happen without volunteers." The page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityMilestoneProcess says that "tasks need to be performed by someone with shell access to the image building machine or someone on the Ubuntu release team. * Final publishing * Setting up the ISO tracker * Handling blocks & unblocks" In addition, "Flavour release teams are responsible for ensuring their images get rebuilds when required if a global rebuild is not occurring" and "Collect any release note URLs from flavours that want to provide them," "Make sure all flavours have their images marked as ready before release day," "Prepare and send release announcement to ubuntu-devel-announce with a cc to ubuntu-release, " and "Be responsive on IRC." Some of us should sign up to do some of these jobs, none of which I ever thought of!
