Review: Needs Fixing Thanks for reviving this request, Sean.
An initial concern I have is with the naming. I see you addressed it in your very announcement that this is unrelated to Ubuntu Core. However, both from the perspective of trademarks and that of general user confusion, I think it's unhelpful to use a name "*buntu Core" for an image with an unrelated purpose. Can I suggest that this should be named "Xubuntu Minimal" instead? That would be consistent with the usage of the "Minimal" nomenclature both for the Ubuntu minimal cloud images, and the Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server minimal install targets. Though the latter two exist as minimized targets from the same install media rather than separate images, I think they're relevant, and that this would be valuable consistency across the Ubuntu ecosystem. I realize this implies more work on the part of the Xubuntu team, both in terms of adapting this code and updating associated assets (websites etc) to accomodate a name change. If you are not willing to rename, I would find it necessary to get corporate signoff from Canonical from a trademark standpoint before I would be willing to merge an image under this name. Also, this falls into a little bit of a gray area wrt governance. We're not defining a new flavor here, this clearly falls under the existing Xubuntu seeds / metapackage / dev team. But as there has been recent activity on attempting to clarify our policies and procedures for new flavors, I think I will also want to run this past the (rest of the) Technical Board before proceeding, just to make sure there's clear agreement that this is in the remit of the Release Team to proceed with. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/debian-cd/+git/debian-cd/+merge/435314 Your team Xubuntu Developers is subscribed to branch ~xubuntu-dev/debian-cd:xubuntu-core. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
