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.

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
