Accessibility

• Further work with vinux developers to improve their build process. This means taking a lot of shell code, and converting it into package related configuration at this point, which will take a while.
• Spent time trying to figure out how to easily allow users to enable at-spi2 for testing, and siable it easily again when they don't want to use it, probably a small gui app that adjusts the gconf key is the best approach that I have thought of so far.

Audio

• Audio bug triaging, bugs in question were against the alsa userspace packages, pulseaudio, and the kernel.
• Submitted a patch upstrea for a user's hda hardware that was known to work with a particular module option.
• Spent significant time attempting to debug the build failures of the alsa daily builds. It looks like upstream managed to break it somehow, and haven't fixed it. If they documented their alsa-driver tarball construction method better, I may have been able to better debug/bisect git repositories to find the problem.

Misc

• More upload sponsoring for Robert Ancell and Chris Hals Rogers.
