Adam Conrad (infinity)

Done

  • live-cd-stacked-filesystems, larger-livefs: More work done here, not quite ready for production.
  • Spent lots more time wrangling with Team Soyuz about bugs and features, old and new.
  • General archive maintenance tasks.
  • Helped with Knot-2, including babysitting the DBUS transition, and driving the soyuz machinery by hand for a couple of days, as we massage things through how we wanted them.
  • General buildd maintenance, as per the status quo.
  • Random bugfix uploads, build failure chasing, new LRM, and other faff.

To do

  • Still need to put the pieces together for ddeb publishing, preferably during a week when pitti isn't on vacation.
  • Finish any specs I really want for edgy before Feature Freeze. Go me.

Colin Watson (Kamion)

Done:

  • dapper-point-release-process: Done. (Ages ago, but I haven't been at a meeting since then.)
  • ubiquity-advanced-partitioner: I'm working hard on this, but there's a good chance that it won't be ready by feature freeze. In that case, we can fall back on the current externally-invoked partitioners; I'll keep working on it and we can drop it in for edgy+1. I've made it so that it can be switched on and off with an environment variable for easier testing.
  • no-more-devfs: Implemented bar the shouting; there are two more patches to go in after Knot-2, and then we can kill udev support for devfs.
  • misc: Lots of other stuff done at the sprint, including resurrecting backports, writing a CD image health checker, and wiring up ubiquity with apport. Spent most of yesterday fixing the nasty gparted bug #54474.

To do:

  • ubiquity-advanced-partitioner: Get as far as I can before feature freeze.
  • no-more-devfs: Clean up the pieces.
  • livecd-access: Test and upload sound support for heno; I have the code theoretically written.
  • cdrom-based-dist-upgrades: Add upgrader to CD images.

Daniel Holbach (dholbach)

  • cd-dvd-media-artwork: deferred
  • theme-teams: assist final artwork production
  • community artwork: get producing

  • sound-themes: package initial sounds

Henrik Omma (heno)

Done

  • Orca - It's great to see it on the live CD! I've done some testing and have helped several blind users with testing with advice and a HOWTO
  • Dicussions with Orca upstream on better ways of integrating it with the Ubuntu desktop (so that it doesn't get in people's way)
  • onBoard - Met Chris for va status meeting yesterday. We are hoping to get this through universe and into main during the next few days. Advice appreciated.
  • Finally got rolling with some desktop bug triage today
  • Other: Preparing the release of the OpenCD v4

To do

  • Make final decision on Orca placement within the Gnome menu structure. If a few annoyances are not addressed (from Orca) we may leave out the menu item (this is not as bad as it sounds because blind users often prefer to launch things from the command prompt anyway)
  • Get onBoard into main and on the CD
  • theOpenCD release foo
  • More bug triage

Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)

Done

  • In addition to fixing parts of the work already included (kdm, power manager icons,, etc.) I whipped up an amarok theme (thingking about using a totally different one though).
  • Started to play with the different versions of the gradients. people like purple! (some like the yellow/orange more than others).

To do

  • In the end all of this is linked together, as the same colors are used in many different pieces of the artwork. Working on moving the entire theme to a blue-purple gradient and see peoples reactions.
  • Andreas Lloyd will be at my home tomorrow, anthropologizing me Smile :-)
