This week we uploaded the 3.5.0-7.7 Ubuntu kernel to Quantal. It contained some
misc bug fixes and kernel config changes, but no upstream version changes. We
also uploaded this to the ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport PPA to facilitate
testing of the 12.10 kernel in 12.04. Please test and let us know your results.

We also opened the ubuntu-r kernel git repo to begin tracking what will be the
upstream v3.6 kernel. We will use this in evaluation of the v3.6 kernel as a
candidate for Quantal.		 This week we uploaded the 3.5.0-8.8 and 3.5.0-9.9 Ubuntu kernel to Quantal. It
contained some updated EDAC/CLK patches for highbank, upstream ecryptfs bug fixes,
upstream feature enablement for Intel hw, and misc bug fixes. We also uploaded
to the ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport PPA to facilitate testing of the 12.10
kernel in 12.04. Please test and let us know your results.

What was done engineering wise?

This week we uploaded the 3.5.0-8.8 and 3.5.0-9.9 Ubuntu kernel to Quantal. It contained some updated EDAC/CLK patches for highbank, upstream ecryptfs bug fixes, upstream feature enablement for Intel hw, and misc bug fixes. We also uploaded to the ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport PPA to facilitate testing of the 12.10 kernel in 12.04. Please test and let us know your results.

What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release as a whole?

The first upstream v3.5.1 stable update was release. We're currently working on rebasing Quantal and will plan to upload.
