Karmic spec drafting: all approved
Karmic feature work:
- desktop-karmic-automagic-python-build-system: no progress this week
- desktop-karmic-symptom-based-bug-reporting: no progress this week
- updated gvfs gphoto porting to David Zeuthen's feedback, sent upstream again
- gnome-panel speedup: no development progress this week; this will be attacked after above three, since this does not have reverse dependencies
Other work done:
- Spent most of the week fixing regressions with the new gdm
Created https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/PolicyKitOneMigration
- Bug fixing: apport, devicekit-disks, gvfs
- More i915 debugging and feedback to upstream; working really well now on my GM945
- libsgutils2 SONAME migration
- Ported gnome-{panel,session}, gdm, consolekit to polkit-1 API using upstream patches
- updated glib2.0 to new upstream version
- Ported jockey to polkit-1
Sponsoring:
- gnome-menus, gnome-power-manager, gnupg, gnupg2, libxklavier

- Uploaded HPLIP 3.9.6b, a bug fix release from HP
Uploaded foomatic-filters and foomatic-db: Now the HP DesignJets 30, 70, 90, 100, 100+, 110, 120, 130, 500, 800, 5000, 5500 work on Karmic.
Uploaded Ghostscript: Small adjustment for the color output of the DesignJets
- Investigations on Brother HL-730 printing garbage (LP: #325616): In contrary to other Brother printers it has legacy emulations (PCL, ESC/P, ...). Seems that the printer is configured to one of them.
- Discussion (with pitti and Tim Waugh) and investigations on doing Plug'n'Print via udev instead of via HAL, as part of deprecating HAL.
- Answered and triaged printing-related bug reports.
