Arne Goetje (ArneGoetje)

• Wednesday - Friday: sick with flu
• cleaning up my Karmic specs
• iso testing
• catching up with email

Bryce Harrington (bryce)

• Work on various launchpadlib scripts
• Upgrade several systems to karmic; troubleshoot problems
• Investigate why a bunch of spurrious bug reports were filed against X. Turned out to be a buggy checkbox test generating dozens of bug reports. I don't think it's a good idea for test suites to be filing bugs directly
• Update arsenal scripts to handle checkbox-bug bugs
• Reinstall two laptops; troubleshoot problems
• Work on catching up on email/maillist/bug backlog
• Fix problem starting X on system with dual cards when neither is set as primary. (LP: #459512)
• Re-test bulletproof-x. Appears the new gdm 2 no longer allows it to do its thing when X is broken, and instead blinks continuously.

Chris Cheney (calc)

• Uploaded openoffice.org 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1 to karmic.
• Upgraded laptop and upstream test VMs to karmic
• Booked OOoCon 2009 trip.
• Lots of OOo bug triage.

Till Kamppeter (tkamppeter)

• Not much this time, as we are after Final Freeze and there are no severe show stoppers to fix for the printing stack. Would like to have LP: #419143 (evince does not print on many PostScript printers in both PDF and PS output mode) fixed in Karmic, but did not get any upstream fix. Is a candidate for an SRU now.

• Fixed bug in CUPS cpdftocps filter that prevents from printing one-sided onm PostScript printers when duplex is set by default (http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397). Discussed on IRC, decided to let it get into Karmic as SRU.

• Answered and triaged printing-related bug reports
