=== Ubuntu 9.04 Beta freeze in effect ===

Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 is in Beta freeze now. The Beta release
will be on March 26th.

During the freeze, all uploads to main must be approved by a member of
the release team: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release If you have
fixes which are important to get in, please do get in touch as soon as
possible. Uploads to universe require a manual push through the queue,
but are not subject to release management approval.

Important issues for the beta release will be tracked by the release
team here:

=== LoCo Team information request ===

Richard A. Johnson(nixternal) has been working on a LoCo Team Directory
solution to replace the wiki teams list. He has grabbed the data from
the wiki page and created a CSV file from it. He's discovered that a
lot of the data is outdated, or incorrect. In order to get this
information updated, he has requested that all LoCo Teams send him the
information using the following format:

* LP ID:
* Country:
* State|Province|Region:
* City:
* Wiki:
* Website:
