Evan Dandrea

  • Short week, bank holiday on Monday, May 4th
  • Lots and lots of work on usb-creator in ~evand/usb-creator/future.
    • Further refactoring, drag and drop support, disk image support, unit tests, proper mounted partition management, properly handling errors from external commands, etc.
    • Merging changes from Bruno Dilly's OEM team branch.
  • Merged liw's progress time estimator into usb-creator trunk. Perhaps this is something we can use in ubiquity as well.
  • Had discussions in #ubuntu-devel over how we call dd in usb-creator to create the casper persistence file. It was agreed that we move back to the Intrepid behavior and I made the necessary changes in trunk.
  • Work on migration-assistant Windows registry Python bindings. By the end of next week I hope to have those and the Mac OSX binary plist code finished.
  • Drafting UDS Karmic specifications.
