Ben Collins (BenC)

• driver-device-manager: Drafting: will have this finished and approved by Nov 30th. Actually started on writing this already.
• retire-optimized-kernels: Retroactive spec, need to draft it.
• linux-kernel-crash-dump: Retargetted to feisty. Few small bits still to implement.
• libata-for-all-ata-disks: Retargetted to feisty. Have switched a few drivers to pata in 2.6.19. Ran into some issues with initramfs-tools now including them in the initrd, but fixed as of yesterday. Still some issues to figure out with regard to generic/ide-generic and ata_generic/pata_legacy migration.

Colin Watson (cjwatson)

Specifications:

• feisty-ubiquity: Approved. I should do some of this, but some would make good bite-size tasks for new developers. Should I be the assignee anyway?
• increase-hwdb-participation: Approved. None of this is actually going to happen in the installer, so I'd appreciate somebody else volunteering as the assignee here.
• intel-mac-support: Did not get discussion at UDS or allhands. I know roughly what needs to be done, so I intend to draft it anyway and we can at least make the situation a lot better than it is now.
• setup-console-under-usplash: Approved; working my way through the merge pile before uploading; unfortunately we have to merge xkeyboard-config first.
• simplify-oem-installation: Still in requirements gathering. There are some fairly obvious things we can do listed at the bottom of the brain-dump, but I don't know how far we can take this without better commercial input.
• ubiquity-advanced-partitioner: No more work done since just before UDS, but it's still just as approved as it was before.
• ubiquity-automation: Approved. We went for a fairly conservative set of options which should be a quick win.
• ubiquity-driver-updates: Drafting. We loosely agreed the business side at allhands, so I just need to put the pieces together and get it approved now.
• ubiquity-more-user-config: Discussion. We still need to talk to Launchpad developers about account creation; I didn't manage this at allhands ...
• ubiquity-oem: Not really started. Doesn't need significant discussion, but Maria indicated at allhands that this wasn't a priority for the Canonical OEM team, so I'll only complete it if I have time.
• ubiquity-release-notes: Approved. Should be easy.
• ubiquity-slideshow: Approved. Installer side should be straightforward, but it also needs artwork. Who should be the assignee?

Done

• clean up a couple of specs.
• merges.
• extra bug fixing in mdadm to have bootable feisty.
• SRU for lvm2 (dapper and edgy).

• wrote metacode for MAU support in the kernel.
• recovering from jetlag (on going).

To do

• get last specs approved.
• change meeting report layout to match specs status.

Henrik Omma (heno)

• access-gdm - Should be simple enough with upstream doing work on it. Our default GDM theme is not a11y-capable yet though -- need to look into that.
• braille-support - Pending Review. cjwatson and Keybuk should have another look at it.
• color-filters - Spec still needs completing. Libs vare available for testing from upstream but no config GUI has been made AFAIK.
• common-at-conf -- spec needs to be tightened and recent upstream work needs taking into account.
• multilingual-speech - Should be split up into a Fiesty and a Fiesty+1 spec, with the former adding more language files to our repos (universe and multiverse) and the later would include UI and Just Works stuff.
• orca-laptop-support - Approved. good progress -- laptop layout now available for testing from upstream.
• atspi-testing-by-default -- I'd like feedback from the team on this. It is already implemented in test builds of Gnome; does that mean we get it automatically? Are there any major objections to this? ... it will slow systems down a bit.

Jonathan Riddell (Riddell)

done:

specs: 1 being reviewed:

• kubuntu-ubiquity-migration-assistant

bunch needing approval:

• (community) kubuntu-multimedia-simplification, kubuntu-samba-integration, kubuntu-feisty-laptop, kubuntu-feisty-networking
• (artwork) kubuntu-feisty-artwork*
• (mine) kubuntu-feisty-adept-changes, kubuntu-ubiquity-migration-assistant

approved specs:

• kubuntu-feisty-kde4-plan, would be a good task for an abitious MOTU
• kubuntu-update-manager, most important one, still trying to contact upstream with questions about embedded konsole
• kubuntu-feisty-language-selector, approved and qt 4 port already done by josef
• kubuntu-feisty-ubiquity, sebas volunteered to help with qt 4 port

• ubuntu-edgy-updates.git up to date with backports/patches from dapper-updates
• both trees built on i386/generic
• pushed to kernel.org

todo:

• receive more marching orders
• figure out why git on rookery hates me

Martin Pitt (pitti)

Done:

• vacation until yesterday
• caught up with email backlog, security review, and kernel security issues

Todo:

• find a spare month to catch up with my fat bugs inbox, which I didn't dare to open in the last two weeks
• start implementing cleanup-audio-jumble and zero-configuration-networking, since these are most urgent and block other specs

My feisty goals:

• zero-configuration-networking: approved, did not start any implementation yet; played around with the stuff locally, avahi-autoipd works nicely, current libnss-mdns does not work at all for me, needs more work; approx. 2 days work
• cleanup-audio-jumble: pending approval; didn't have an assignee yet, I signed up for this one; did some initial tests, looks good; required code changes will take about a day, changing the system to use pulse consistently another day
• gnome-mount: approved, and used by default in feisty; still needed: security overhaul of hal backend, and de-gnome-ification of password dialog to make it appropriate for XFCE; approx. 3 days work
• mount-all-local-filesystems: approved, not started yet; shoulnd't take more than one or two days to get it working
• apport-improvements: not discussed at UDS; did some talks to kylem and BenC for getting the kernel side right, and talked to lifeless about python crash interception and general code structure cleanup; a lot of work to implement all improvements, but not scheduled for feisty, so low-prio
• crash-reporting: not discussed at UDS, got an ad-hoc session on allhands; client/apport side isn't too complicated, but writing the server side is a considerable amount of work; needs more discussion with stub and LP team
• bug-reporting-tool: pending approval, current assignee is sfllaw, but since most of this spec deals with apport changes, I'll probably end up doing the client side (I estimate 1-2 days); I have no idea how much work the Malone side is (cloakroom and linking submitted stuff to bug)
• malone-cve-tracking: only got a private ad-hoc session with keescook; not a high-prio thing, but eventually we want to use Malone for tracking security bugs (much better for teamwork than current ubuntu-cve); requires some Malone email interface fixes, BjornT said they were easy.
• printerdrake: this needs lots of UI redesign and work, and packaging; I'm afraid I won't have enough time for this for feisty, although I can certainly help with initial packaging, so that people have something to play with
