  * I'd like to announce a couple of changes to the structure of the security team.
  * After almost 5.5 years as the manager of the security team, I decided it was time for a change. The security team is too awesome to leave so I'm not going far: I will stay on the security team as a generalist focusing on snappy initially and getting back to generalist duties in due course. :)
  * The other change is that I'd like to extend a warm welcome to Emily Ratliff (ratliff) for joining the Ubuntu Security team as manager and I'll be working with her to ensure a smooth transition. If you don't know Emily already, google her ;) She is very talented and accomplished and we are super-excited to have her join Canonical and the Ubuntu Security team. :)
  * Thomas Ward (teward) provided debdiffs for trusty-xenial for nginx (LP: #1587577)		   * Stefan Bader (smb) provided debdiffs for precise-xenial for xen
  * Otto Kekäläinen (otto) provided debdiffs for wily-xenial for mariadb-10.0 (LP: #1589302)
