Outstanding actions from last meeting

• Martin to upload current PPA langpacks to hardy/intrepid-proposed -- deferred; there was a langpack-o-matic bug which broke KDE translation, which Martin fixed, and we were waiting for a new Rosetta export to get full KDE translations; ETA tomorrow
• Jonathan to track down who is working on bug #290695, set assignee, and clarify status -- nobody is working on it, he will look into it himself

Actions from this meeting

• Everyone to think about what they would like to work on in Jaundy; we will discuss UDS preparations in next week's meeting.

Team changes

Scott announced that next week will be his last meeting with the desktop team. He will be on holiday from the 22nd on, and there will be a new desktop team manager starting in December.

Matthew and Ken will move to the Visual/Creative Design team next week.

Bryce Harrington (bryce)

General:

• Worked on assigned bugs, updated todo lists
• Reviewed -intel quirks.
  • Filed Hardy SRU for the 8xx pipea quirk, which has been sufficiently well tested now.
• Catch up on xorg, debian-x, etc. mailing lists
• Upstreamed 190857, 291053, 291045, 291040, 270690, 291055, 268853
• Triaged 500 new bugs across various xorg packages. Resulted in being able to close several score as fixed, or invalid due to unavailable hardware.
• Sponsor queue 1 hr (mainly just cleanup/review)

Assigned release targeted bugs:

• 284346 "Fix dithering" [Fix Committed]. Cherrypicked patches from upstream for this, packaged, tested, and submitted as SRU.
• 274234 "CD_INVALID_OPCODE" [Fix Committed]. Fix for 284346 should also fix this one.
• 278318 "video tearing". Not targeted, but regression worth review, that can probably be easily addressed by adding an xorg.conf option.
