Actions from this meeting

Current Jaunty Tax?

What, if anything, are we spending time on related to Jaunty?

robert_ancell has been working on an SRU for Totem in Jaunty to make Apple HD movie site and certain internet radio stations to start to work again. Current workaround is that users must manually open the URL from within Totem. Only work left is to run the SRU process.

UDS

(07:38:16 AM) rickspencer3-afk: so, what are the expectations for folks getting blueprints ready for UDS?
(07:38:22 AM) pitti: hey
(07:38:54 AM) pitti: they should have a meaningful summary, proposed for uds-karmic, and someone reasonable (mostly the registrant) as drafter
(07:39:06 AM) rickspencer3-afk: tx
(07:39:15 AM) pitti: and approver as the corresponding team's tech lead or manager

Team Meeting Next Week

There is none I think, what do you all think?

Ubuntu One

It's live now, beta testing is by invitation
We are approving invitations in a step wise fashion to ensure there are no scalability issues
Direct folks on IRC to #ubuntuone on Freenode if they have questions
What is the expected scope for Jaunty?

Alpha1 Status

Taking Care or Yourself

Ubuntu relies on the awesome dedication you have have shown
Remember that it's a marathon, not a sprint
Please make sure that you are taking adequate time for yourself, and if you feel that you can't please talk to rickspencer3 about it so I can help
You won't be able to help the team if you are burned out
