== Specs ==
All are approved, and Jaunty goals decided upon. Desktop Experience team stuff
has landed right in time for FF, now in bug fixing mode.
== What was done engineering wise? ==
 * Specs writing is done
 * Continued on SRUs for precise
 * Good progresses on the third party drivers installation spec
 * New firefox (13) and thunderbird are ready for the coming release
 * Got firefox to build with the quantal toolchain
 * Libreoffice 3.5.4 SRU is ready for upload
 * Work on xorg for lts point release updates continued
 * compiz got refactored to be only one source rather than five, the packaging got updated and the new version is finally building
Line 7: Line 13:
Implementation is mostly going well (many already implemented); concerns:
 * gpm-and-device-kit-power: Ted might not have enough time to provide the new g-p-m in a PPA by FF; however, that shouldn't be covered by FF, since it's not in Ubuntu proper; Martin will coordinate with him if he doesn't have time for this
 * jaunty-language-selector-improvements: Arne and Michael worked out some details and fixes; this is ready for upload now; just UI changes, no actual new features → OK for UIF, or need a FFE?
== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ==

== RC Bugs ==
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/312536: nss shouldn't honor MD5 hash signatures → waiting for upstream fix, security update issue, not really a release blocker
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/310999: nss shouldn't honor comodo CA? → still waiting on upstream decision, security update issue, not really a release blocker
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/304871: X doesn't start on i845G → debugging going on; seems that upstream isn't interested in working on EXA any more, and just works on UXA (which is still too unstable); Martin asked Bryce about possibility of switching to XAA ond a per-model basis
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/313027: fglrx not working in Jaunty → current plan is to move all fglrx users to -ati; latest word is that FOSS radeon driver 0.6.12 will work on r6xx and r7xx as well, thus we can cover almost all models
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/320632: tap-to-click and edge scrolling broken → tap-to-click mostly is working again, edge scrolling still broken for many people, debugging going on
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/309482: Kubuntu oem-setup crashes if using -nv driver: seems to be a small corner case, debugging still ongoing
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199140: NM manages virtual interfaces → newly came up this week, currently being investigated
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281348: toolbar problem w/ ubufox → newly came up this week, and Alex already commited the fix to bzr
 * Nothing specific
