Actions Pending

  • [release team] Need to schedule in advance who's on engineer and management tasks for each milestone in natty. - IN PROGRESS - see: ReleaseTaskSignup - need Alpha 2, and 10.04.2 signed up.

  • [skaet] drive a discussion to resolve disconnect between what we're calling rc vs. a beta 2. Should we do a beta 2 weeks before, or rc and be strict about it? How many bugs tested post RC? Publish policy statement. Possibly adjust RC milestone to work around easter for Natty. - IN PROGRESS. - coordintating meeting at Rally next week. If interested in participating, and won't be in Dallas - please send email to Kate.

  • [robbiew] get burndown charts into uniform format - DONE.
  • [skaet/ScottK] brainstorm with others on ways to help tackling the large number of linking failures backlog - IN PROGRESS

  • [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) - IN PROGRESS. Probably will need to have discussions at next UDS though for resolution.

• 2010/01/07

  • [JamieBennett] test build qt4-x11 with the volatile int fixed before it is landed.

Team Updates

Overview

• Python 2.7 migration in progress. Getting reasonable for main, but lots to do for universe. There is a tutorial on linker order under development and available for review/comment. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ToolchainTransition - thanks to Allison and Matthias. Comments and feedback welcome

• Alpha 2 tasks, as indicated by the burn down charts are starting indicate progress again after holiday break, but overall above trend line. Had discussions with ARM and Server team, and expecting changes post-rally. Will have better feel for which tasks move to Alpha 3 after the rally.
• Not much motion on the current milestoned bugs over the holiday, but progress starting there again too.

• Linaro Natty Freeze milestones have now been indicated on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseInterlock
