Flavor and Release Team Panel Session
summary
Documented requirements emphasize a dedicated uploader or sponsor and a six‑month release commitment; all packages must land in the Ubuntu archive (no PPA-only builds) and use Launchpad daily builds and the app store. Release tooling work includes an Ubuntu image effort to make ISO builds one‑command and a plan to expose the release checklist publicly. A new patch piloting 4‑hour shifts program commits Canonical staff to sponsor uploads in real time. ISO QA/iso tracker and CI for PPAs (Britney/commissioned tools) need fixes.
