UDS BOF/Post Mortem
- [skaet] Rework release process pages to make explicit who/role, where and when; and apply refactoring (merging pages, checklist, etc. to make timeline not require back/forth linking). - TO DO

Highlights

overall, reasonable progress on work items for alpha 2, but expecting it to start to slow for holidays soon.
python 2.7 transition progressing fairly well. Summary of what's left can be found: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=python27
new kernel (2.6.37-rc5) will permit re-enabling NX support for modules, and re-enabling a number of drivers that were disabled for the rebase.
natty upstart spec finalized, improvements planned are: debug stanza, override files, job visualisation, socket activation, D-Bus activation, chroot support, user sessions and visible job start/stop in plymouth details view.
OO.o builds are breaking CD images (due to python 2.7 transition and problems with python-uno) looking at options to work around.
desktopcouch 1.0 should release today, initial zeitgeist integration to be released next week
gcc/arm issues resolved, builds are progressing again for ARM team and Kubuntu.
unity foundations work mostly done, but will hold off on upload until January, to avoid dependency conflicts until python stabilizes.
still considerable backlog on the linker side in MOTU, that needs some help

ACTIONS

[robbiew] get burndown charts into uniform format
[skaet/ScottK] brainstorm with others on ways to help tackling the large number of linking failures backlog
[skaet] figure out a way of calling attention to wishlist bugs(per: http://www.uk.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities), that are actually feature dependencies between teams (bug:56679, bug: 688142)
[dbarth] update on open bugs from agenda
