If you would like to reach the server team, you can find us at the #ubuntu-server channel on Freenode. Alternatively, you can sign up and use the Ubuntu Server Team [mailing list](https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server). ## Spotlight: cloud-init subcommands The cloud-init team has spent time cleaning up the CLI in recent releases. Chad on the cloud-init team [posted a overview](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2018/04/05/cloud-init-v-18-2-cli-subcommands) of the various CLI subcommands now available on cloud-init. These commands help get status of cloud-init, triage issues, and gather data for bug reporting. ## Ubuntu Bionic Beta ISOs With a little over two weeks left till Bionic, the beta ISOs were [announced earlier this week](https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2018-April/000230.html). Please give the new live ISO and existing ISOs a spin and report any bugs you find. ## cloud-init * Prune integration test artifacts * Add support for LXD 3.0, fix pylxd integration test dependency * Fix Ubuntu proposed integration test CI job * Fix ec2 validation of instance-data.json network info * Do not retry optional userdata on 404 (LP: #1702160) * Add explicit cloud-init package dependency on isc-dhcp-client (LP: #1759307) ## git-ubuntu * Imported 87.6% of source packages from main with about 500 packages to go * Debugging a few failures along the way * As mentioned last week, as we have increased the phasing of main, we have changed the default Git repository for imported source packages to point to our imported repository. This has two important consequences: 1. When you navigate to the Git code page for a source package on [Launchpad](https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simplestreams/+git) you now see the importer repository. Other Git repositories for the same source package are near the bottom of that page. 2. With the default in place, Git objects should be shared on Launchpad for that source package, which should result in minimal pushes when doing development. ## Contact the Ubuntu Server team * Chat on #ubuntu-server on Freenode * Email the [ubuntu-server mailing list](https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server) ## Bug Work and Triage * 275 in the [backlog](https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server/+subscribedbugs) * 155 bugs reviewed since the last report * [Notes on daily bug triage](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/KnowledgeBase#Bug_Triage) ## Ubuntu Server Packages Below is a summary of uploads to the development and supported releases. Current status of the Debian to Ubuntu merges is tracked on the [Merge-o-Matic page](https://merges.ubuntu.com/main.html). For a full list of recent merges with change logs please see the Ubuntu Server [report](http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/merges.html). ### Proposed Uploads to the Supported Releases Please consider testing the following by [enabling proposed](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed), checking packages for update regressions, and making sure to mark affected bugs [verified as fixed](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Verification).
