Weekly Summary
- Prepared langpack-o-matic to not install Firefox translations into langpacks any more, so that Firefox can ship its own. (pitti)
- Move all our pygi applications to GTK3. (pitti)
- First Oneiric daily CD builds were 30 MB oversized; started addressing this by seed cleanup and dropping aptdaemon's lintian recommends (will be replaced with install on demand when user activates third-party repo). (pitti)
NetworkManager 0.9 started landing in Oneiric. Some apps may need minor porting to the new API. (cyphermox)
- Evolution 3.0.0/3.0.2 uploaded. (cyphermox)
- atspi2 stack in main now (MIR reviewed)
- telepathy-indicator rewritten in C, should have an initial upload to Oneiric today. (kenvandine)
- appmenu-gtk3 uploaded for oneiric, no depends added yet and it is a new binary, we should wait until after A1 to transition from the gtk2 build. (kenvandine)

(like "meet with"...) 17:46:15 chrisccoulson pitti - not yet. i'm a bit concerned that i'm currently spending a lot of my time on non-WI stuff, which is eating a lot of my time atm 17:46:27 chrisccoulson (eg, firefox 5 for lucid, maverick and natty) 17:47:04 pitti ok, let's just move them over for now 17:47:39 pitti https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-dx-o-bugs-triage-and-workflow is rather undrafted and unapproved, and not strictly our team, so let's ignore that one 17:48:07 pitti kenvandine: gwibber changes can easily move, I think? I guess alpha-1 was more or less for your personal planning, not a strict deadline? 17:48:09 didrocks well, just to keep you in touch, I'll finish my wi on it 17:48:15 didrocks (this evening) 17:48:24 kenvandine pitti, yeah 17:48:46 kenvandine pitti, but i will likely have them finished by thursday 17:49:31 pitti kenvandine: ah, great 17:49:35 pitti kenvandine: so, want to keep them? 17:50:02 pitti the remaining ones seem to be a lot of "determine...", "figure out...", "talk to..." stuff, so not really bound by a1 image building etc. 17:50:15 pitti so let's see how much more we can squeeze out, and I'll move the rest wholesale on Thursday 17:50:34 pitti anything we shoudl discuss here? blockers? transitions? testing? 17:50:48 kenvandine pitti, i'll keep them and move what i don't get 17:52:50 pitti AOB? 17:52:54 cyphermox o/ ~ubuntu-desktop membership ;) 17:53:08 pitti oh, still waiting for +1es? 17:53:16 cyphermox not sure, there are two 17:53:54 cyphermox ah, yes, missing one 17:53:57 Sweetshark I could use some more too ... 17:53:59 pitti anyone else sponsored stuff for cyphermox? 17:56:20 seb128 some but not a lot 17:56:36 pitti Sweetshark: for PPU? 17:56:43 cyphermox ok, let's just wait then 17:56:44 pitti Sweetshark: isn't one +1 enough there? 17:57:01 seb128 cyphermox, some of the recent errors you did on versioning on not updating build-depends make me unsure about the +1 to behonest 17:57:12 cyphermox seb128: understandable 17:57:27 seb128 but I'm happy if other who did enough sponsoring give their +1 17:57:34 Sweetshark pitti: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BjoernMichaelsen/DeveloperApplication AFAIK I need 3 sponsors.
