== 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? ==
 * Ongoing work on hybrid graphics support
 * X.org 1.12 is now available in ubuntu-x-swat/x-stagin
 * Continued on SRUs for precise
 * Updated GNOME a11y stack to latest unstable release
 * Uploaded PulseAudio 2.0 to quantal
 * The next SRU round for the unity stack is being prepared
 * Libreoffice 3.5.4 SRU has been uploaded and is waiting for SRU team review
 * The work on the system compositor advanced enough to start the lightdm work
 * The work for the ui redesign of the third party drivers started
Line 7: Line 14:
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
== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ==
 * GTK 3.5 is ready for upload (will likely be uploaded on monday)
 * the "one compiz source" compiz version should be uploaded next week
 * xorg-server 1.12 should be iploaded next week

== RC Bugs ==
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/304871: -intel X.org driver does not work on i845G → turned out to be a hard problem now; none of XAA/EXA/UXA works with current version; Intel doesn't support the i845 any more
 * 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 ([[https://launchpad.net/bugs/334101||LP #334101]]), thus we can cover almost all models
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/320632: tap-to-click and edge scrolling broken → already believed to be fixed, but not on all models; Alberto is debugging
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/309482: Kubuntu oem-setup crashes if using -nv driver: problem finally understood, reported upstream, and possible solution proposed (waiting for reporter to confirm)
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281348: toolbar problem w/ ubufox → Alex commited fix to bzr
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275432: policykit log spewage on servers → pitti just assigned to him, will fix ASAP
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/323109: Missing firefox network-manager integration →
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305790: tricky to build jaxme against OpenJDK, Chris is investigating
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331564: sometimes notification flickers when fading in: No recent activity, Mirco unable to reproduce, just a cosmetical bug; Mirco will try harder to reproduce after sprint next week
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267241: X fails to start with more than one display adapter → no progress this week
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2328035: X.org crash after suspend → no progress this week
== Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) ==
Line 23: Line 21:
== Planned Intrusive changes ==
 * Potential patch to mozzilla: make new tab behaviour consistent in Firefox (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/331618); waiting for response from Mozilla
 * updating clutter-gst from 0.8 to 1.0 for moblin compliance; 1.0 is not yet available upstream, but will be soon; it does not have reverse dependencies (except for perl and Python bindings, which will be updated along)
 * No specific list yet for quantal

== Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items, release wide concerns? ==

 * Unity work in quantal is blocked on the gcc 4.7,libsigc,stl issues discussed on ubuntu-devel:
