  <jibel> or testing and reviewing the updates just reach me on irc or find my email on my lp page http://launchpad.net/~jibel .

  <jibel> Did you notice a regression in a package which went to -updates? ping me too.

  <jibel> Special thanks to sbeattie who did a really awesome job !

  <marjo> +1! we'll miss him dearly

• sbeattie is quite confident jibel will do a great job, and generate more community nterest in SRU testing than he did.

  <jibel> 1... 2... 3... no question for me ? moving on.

Bug Day status -- pedro_

• <pedro_> Hola!, nothing from previous weeks but...

  <pedro_> For tomorrow we're planning a rocking bug day and our target will be the Operation Cleansweep

  <pedro_> which deals with reviewing patches and forwarding them to our Upstream partner projects

  <pedro_> so if you wanna learn about patch review workflow and make dholbach and nigelb happy then please join us!

  <pedro_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20100812

  <pedro_> as you can see there some folks already started to work on it

  <pedro_> thanks devildante and yofel

  <pedro_> and by the way, we're always looking for new tasks/targets/ideas for the Bug Days

  <YokoZar> Has cleansweep been nearing its goal?

  <YokoZar> (of removing the backlog of patches)

  <pedro_> so if you have one or a bunch please add those to the Planning page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/Planning

  <pedro_> YokoZar, well we can help to try to achieve that goal

  <pedro_> looking at the graphs they need a lot

  <pedro_> that's all from here ara, unless there's a question

  <ara> pedro_, is this going to happen at #ubuntu-bugs? or #ubuntu-motu as it has a different target this time

  <pedro_> ara, it's going to happen in two channels actually in #ubuntu-bugs and in #ubuntu-reviewers

  <pedro_> so please join both tomorrow

  <ara> pedro_, sure, noted!

  <ara> thanks pedro_!

  <ara> [TOPIC] Ubuntu 10.04.1 Testing status -- ara

Ubuntu 10.04.1 Testing status -- ara

• <ara> OK, as you may have read at the ubuntu-devel mailing list, the release of Ubuntu 10.04.1 has been delayed to next Tuesday

  <ara> August 17th

  <ara> I guess that by the end of the week, or very early next week, the candidate images will appear in the tracker

  <ara> [LINK] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com

• <ara> So, please, keep an eye open and help testing the ISOs!

  <ara> jibel, a point release just on the following week not a bad start

  <ara> OK, we can move on

  <ara> [TOPIC] Maverick Alpha 3 Spec Status -- all

Maverick Alpha 3 Spec Status -- all

• <jibel> Yes and that makes me nervous.

  <ara> OK, Alpha 3 was released and hopefully all the blueprints targeted to Alpha 3 finished

  <marjo> thanks for everyone's great work on the Alpha 3 work items

  <marjo> moving on to beta... http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-platform-qa-ubuntu-10.10-beta.html

  <ara> marjo, can you please take care of changing the status of the bluprints for alpha 3 that were finished?

  <marjo> ara: yes, i think hggdh & i can clean that up, as necessary

  <ara> [ACTION] marjo to review Alpha 3 blueprints statuses

• <marjo> ara: no need since they are all 100% complete for alpha 3

  <marjo> hggdh had to update his blueprints

  <hggdh> oops

  <ara> marjo, I mean the status as "Beta available", etc, etc

  <hggdh> I thought I had

  <marjo> ara: ok will do

  <ara> anything else on this topic?

  <ara> marjo, do you have any other comments?

  <marjo> ara: no thx

  <ara> OK, moving on

  <ara> [TOPIC] Open Mic

Open Mic

• <ara> Any other business that you want to discuss that were not part of the agenda?

  <YokoZar> I got something

  <YokoZar> Wanted to followup on the wine-checkbox stuff I mentioned last month

  <ara> cr3, ^

  <YokoZar> For starters, it's found a kernel bug

  <YokoZar> So it's working to some extent, however it's not yet merged. I'll talk with cr3 about that separately I suppose

  <YokoZar> While creating the tests I realized that there was some potential for Wine programs as a performance metric as well as a regression test

  <YokoZar> Including, oddly enough, the Windows version of Phoronix

  <cr3> YokoZar: I was on vacation last week, so I was quite busy before and still cathing up. feel free to get in touch with me at your convenience though

  <YokoZar> (we already have native Phoronix in checkbox, so it would be interesting to compare)

  <YokoZar> cr3: perfect

  <YokoZar> Anyway I'd like to thank fader_ for the help with running it on real machines earlier

  <marjo> YokoZar: thx for your contribution & will pass on your thanks to fader_

  <ara> YokoZar, thanks!

  <ara> YokoZar, anything else?

  <ara> OK, anybody else have another topic?

  <ara> OK, last one then

  <ara> [TOPIC] Selection of new chair -- ara
