Whiteboard

I think this spec would be better named foundations-r-empowered-derivatives. From my perspective, flavours has a very definite kernel relationship.

[stgraber]: Flavor/Flavour is the preferred term to refer to an approved flavour of Ubuntu (edubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu, mythbuntu, ubuntu studio and xubuntu).
"Derivative" refers to an unofficial out-of-the-archive Ubuntu-based distro.

[ScottK]: What we are talking about is not about derivatives.
[vorlon]: correct. Namespace issues notwithstanding, these are flavors, not derivatives.

* Does the RT need to track release tracking bugs or can this be left up to individual teams?
* Who liaises with flavours?
* Is someone in charge of the common section & coordination of the release notes?
* Can freezes be done on an opt-in basis by flavors as desired?
