What was done engineering wise?

This week we rebased the Quantal kernel to the latest v3.5-rc7 upstream Linux kernel and uploaded. 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.

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

We are anticipating an upstream v3.5-rc8 release. If it lands in time for Quantal Alpha-3 we intend to rebase and upload. Otherwise we'll wait to after Alpha-3.

The Canonical kernel team has also been sprinting this week. Given the projected upstream release dates for v3.5 and v3.6, we are still discussing if we'll stick with a v3.5 based kernel for Quantal or move to v3.6. We'll be sure to keep everyone posted on a final decision.
