== Specs ==
All are approved, and Jaunty goals decided upon.
== 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 6: 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 started working on this last week, but is on holiday this week; we will push for this to land next week, or discuss what to do with it next Tuesday in the meeting
== 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
 * 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/284408: AMD dropped support for r3xx; update-manager already transitions those to -ati, which works well; so I don't consider this a release blocker.
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/313027: blocked on AMD to provide a build against current X server; disabled in Jockey for now; ati should work for almost all users now, though, so current plan is to move all fglrx users to -ati and consider updating fglrx in an SRU (since ati doesn't work well on r6xx and r7xx)
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/309482: nv driver problem, currently being debugged
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/314263: apport opens URLs as file:///ubuntu/ -> glib regression, was believed fixed, but reopened yesterday evening; something else must have changed in 2.19.6, Chris is investigating
 * Nothing specific
