      • 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)

Agenda

• Insert things to discuss at meeting here..

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)
