Arne Goetje (ArneGoetje)
Bryce Harrington (bryce)
- Make arsenal script to search Xorg.0.log files on bugs in a given package for a specified string
- Re-setup tytherleigh for doing multi-touch testing
- Fix 565981 - memory leak caused by clutter crash fix patch
- Upload a new xorg-server post-RC to fix bug 562418
- Provide -intel 2.8.0 downgrade package in x-retro
- Provide -ati 6.12.192 downgrade package in x-retro
- Debug unlocked hsync bug on nouveau on local hardware
Write ReleaseNotes for 8xx issues
- Triage -ati bugs daily, send a few upstream, etc.
- Review bugs with nominations proposed for lucid
- Preparatory reading for Launchpad rotation
Chris Cheney (ccheney)
- Upload openoffice.org-hyphenation 0.5
- Fixes bug LP #568514 - Removed duplicate file causing install problem.
- Upload openoffice.org-dictionaries 1:3.2.0~rc2-3ubuntu3
- Fixes bug LP: #568760 - Missing symlinks for dictionary policy backwards compatibility
- Clean up epiphany-browser hardy backport and uploaded current work to ppa.
- Work with Chris Coulson and Alexander Sack to try to resolve remaining issues.
- Work on OOo optimization blueprint to start mapping library interdependencies.
- Did 2 lucid upgrades on Apr 26, seemed to not upgrade users profile correctly, need to investigate.
Chris Halse Rogers (RAOF)
- Testing for reversion of GLX 1.4 backport packages to prevent GEMLeak
- Identify upstream patch to fix X crash with clutter apps in bug #550218 without re-introducing the leak from LP #565981. This needs an additional fix for Savage cards and for software rendering; I think I know where to look for these.
- Create testing packages for what looks like an upstream fix for the long-standing intermittent assertion crashes in xcb on LP #419501 and its many duplicates. These changes are quite large, and would need backporting to our older libx11-xcb, so may not be SRUable, but at least it can be fixed for Maverick
- Reverted the failed DRI-disablement patch for 8xx cards.
- Wrote much of the mmiotrace howto page.
- Bug triage
- Helped Keybuk and slangsek debug a plymouth issue in LP 570289 which broke my boot.
Didier Roche (didrocks)
- UNE:
- bug triaging
- GNOME:
- glabels update to fix crash on adding any item
- upload some first SRU: poppler (having selection in right order), empathy
- Quickly:
- Fix bugs to be in a good shape for lucid
(release Quickly 0.4.1 and 0.4.2 <- silly me ;))
No Quickly gsoc :/ But the two students will contribute to Quickly on their free time
- Misc:
- sponsor: xchat-indicator
- Some ubuntu one debugging
Jonathan Riddell (Riddell)
Done:
- RC testing and release
- Final testing and bug triage
Ken VanDine (kenvandine)
- Bug fix for desktopcouch, restart desktopcouch when called via the API not just on import
- Post RC uploads for ubuntuone-client fixing critical bugs
- blueprints
- lucid ISO testing
- gwibber testing
Luke Yelavich (TheMuso)
Martin Pitt (pitti)
Assigned blueprints: all done
Done:
- Bug fixing: apport, gnome-keyring, libatasmart (karmic SRU), mono, pkg-create-dbgsym, python-distutils-extra, texlive-extra, xfonts-mathml
- Release management and engineering, and some related archive administration
- Lots of bug triage
- Discussed X.org GEM leak bug, set up call for testing, testing
- TB meeting
Sponsoring:

Robert Ancell (robert_ancell)
Sebastien Bacher (seb128)
- lucid iso testing
- lot of desktop bug reading and triaging
- uploaded lpi change to not list the report a bug entry in lucid
- weekly desktop team meeting organization
- reviewed marverick blueprints with rick
- telepathy-glib build fix
- backported openoffice dictionnaries fixes from debian
- backported some gtk-murrine git fixes for a crasher and rendering issue
- started looking to lucid sru updates, uploaded librsvg sru
Till Kamppeter (tkamppeter)
- system-config-printer: SRU for Lucid to make system-config-printer look for locally installed drivers before trying to find a driver on the internet (LP: #564633).
- ghostscript: Investigations on recent upstream fixes for PDF interpreter problems which make Ghostscript error out or even segfault on certain PDF files when printing with a CUPS Raster driver (Gutenprint, SpliX, ...), still waiting for another fix before preparing an SRU.
- Answered and triaged printing-related bug reports.
Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)
- General
- Investigated gnome-appearance-properties threading and locking issues, which are responsible for a common long-standing crasher. I know how I think this should be fixed, but trying to get a response from upstream so I know I'm taking the correct approach
- Updated my stable desktop to Lucid at the weekend, which subsequently broke. Spent some time yesterday investigating that, but it turned out to be a local issue in the end, and it's all working now
- Fixed a g-s-d issue where the mediakeys plugin wasn't linking libnotify, causing some unresolved symbols
- Sponsoring: seamonkey, libjdic-java, firefox, conkeror
- Mozilla
- Getting a feel for the work required for the FF3.6 roll-out in Hardy, I expect this is going to take up most of my time in the next couple of weeks
- Fix 2 FF3.6 build failures on Hardy, in preparation for backporting
- Started work on the Hardy backport of Epiphany, based on the work ccheney has done so far
- Briefly investigated an issue with the localised offline home pages not working in FF. Looks trivial to fix in a SRU
- Review of big Seamonkey update for Lucid, fixed a couple of issues there
- Thunderbird upgrade testing to make sure 2 late changes last week didn't introduce any new upgrade issues. All successful, and uploaded now
Travis Hartwell (Nafai)
- Finished LP #558841, bratsche with fix in gtk+ for this
