      • and more

• Ubiquity now uses ubuntu-drivers-common instead of Jockey; started discussion about the KDE UI. (desktop-q-third-party-driver-installation) (pitti)

• pyppd now ported to Python 3 and uploaded to Debian; will sync to quantal after alpha-1 (pitti)

• Started work on language-selector removal from g-c-c. Uploaded some simple initial packages with our patches disabled to https://launchpad.net/~laney/+archive/gcc — smoke testing welcome. (laney)

• Chatted with Aron Xu (Debian maintainer) about syncing libxml2. Looks possible, but the sync would drop the .la file so need to check whether it isn't being used anywhere. (laney)
• Quickly for 12.04 has a new SRU candidate fixing the issues with ARB support. If you were affected by those bugs, please test! (mterry)
• Update Manager got a slightly new look, more to come in the future. (mterry)

• Prepared GNOME 3.5 a11y updates, orca, at-spi, and will upload them to quantal-proposed. (TheMuso)

• Further work towards python 3 for a11y tools in quantal. (TheMuso)

Agenda

Partner update

Unity

• Compiz transition to boost 1.49 done.
• Compiz package transition for "all in one source" ready. Just need a newer compiz release (post alpha1)
• Unity FTBFS fix in quantal (with newer gcc4.7) ready. Transition to newer boost (1.49) and newer glew ready as well. Everything builds. However, a reproducible crash on startup happens as well. Investigation conjointly with dx in progress.
• Preparing the hangover sprint with Product Stategy so that they can manage their own packaging, integrations and product (and so compiz, nux, unity and the whole stack)

X.org

• Projector / multihead testing [bryce]
• Setting up system reimaging scripts for more reliable issue reproduction [bryce]
• Following up on various X bugs, patches, and SRU uploads [bryce]
