Jonathan Riddell (Riddell)

Done:

  • Add devel-distribution upgrade feature to update-notifier-kde
  • Patch Adept in hardy to not prompt for intrepid upgrade
  • tech board meeting, new core-dev for kubuntu yay
  • kde-l10n 4.1.2 upload
  • review and upload kdegraphics, previously broken by upstream
  • test and upload various patches to adept
  • make kipi co-installable with KDE 3 version
  • fix crash and refresh in printer-applet
  • discuss logout dialogue patch to ksmserver with upstream, they're happy for it to be commited to KDE
  • various fixes to kubuntu-docs and update casper to make them work with KDE 4 on live CD
  • Port verifyInstalledLangPacks to Qt frontend of language-selector
  • Add libqca2-plugin-ossl to seed, refresh meta package
  • check and upload packaging improvements to qtjambi, update-notifier-kde, qt4-x11
  • test and sync new libical

Todo:

  • investigate if anything can be done to fix bluetooth, I really wish people wouldn't upload major infrastructure changes without testing if they break the applications which use them
  • investigate if KDE 4 picks up system locale

Blocked:

  • no recent language packs yet so I've no idea if translations are working with KDE and rosetta

Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)

  • panel bg (two pics attached, gconf must be set to stretch both panels)
  • wallpapers (last ideas attached)
  • gnome theme package should be spit in two
  • icon theme work and gtk/metacity theme (fixing various bugs in Human and the dark theme - still need new name)
  • ubuntu-sounds needs to be reverted if it is not already done! I mailed Luke, who put the package in, as well as pinged pitti, seb, and mvo on irc.

Martin Pitt (pitti)

Assigned Intrepid specs:

  • intrepid-device-permissions: implemented
  • gdm-guest-account: implemented
  • jockey-printer-driver-support: implemented

Currently open intrepid targeted bugs:

  • #262811 (mv for symlinks is not atomic): cursory review showed some weirdness in the supplied patch, no time to look into this yet

Other non-chores work done:

  • Helped with beta release management
  • Lots of bug fixing
  • Tried ekiga 3.0 test packages; they need heavy work before they would be suitable for intrepid
  • Tried to track down the spontaneous X failures (I suddenly get a completely white, black, or brown screen) by downgrading various pieces of the system one by one. No real luck yet, though, but it's really frustrating.

Sponsoring:

  • envyng-{gtk,qt,core}, gpaint, hal, pbuilder, new nvidia driver from Alberto
