[Ubuntugnome-qa] Questions regarding 14.04.2

[Erick Brunzell <lbsolost@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Tim, Ali, and list ;^)

I'm just checking on the status of 14.04.2 - the second point release 
for Trusty.

The tentative release date is (or was) February 5th but I wonder if 
Canonical is still on track with that date. Based on prior experience 
iso-testing LTS point releases it's not at all uncommon for Canonical to 
delay such releases until they're actually ready.

One of the reasons I'm wondering if Canonical is still on track with 
that date is that the original plan was for Ubuntu to ship the Utopic 
kernel and Xstack with 14.04.2 but the Ubuntu daily manifest still shows 
the 3.13 series kernel:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/trusty/daily-live/current/trusty-desktop-i386.manifest

Notice that manifest is for the Ubuntu images rather than Ubuntu GNOME 
because I didn't know if we were opting into LTS HWE or not. Those who 
are new to the whole HWE concept can learn what I'm talking about here:

I wonder if another QA member would give a shout out to the release team 
on IRC chat:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseTeam

I'm unable to use IRC chat due to disability, but we should find out 
what Canonical is planning. If they're still planning on February 5th 
we'll need to put our testing shoes on no later than next Monday. Of 
course sooner is sometimes better than later.
