  * Action review:
   * pitti: document brainstorm review activity: DONE: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TechnicalBoard/BrainstormReview
   * kees: perform brainstorm review → carried

  * Edubuntu LTS application
   * Still blocked on Kubuntu LTS application
   * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/12.04/LTS-Proposal has the list of affected applications, will still be tuned a bit to drop Java dependencies

  * Non-PAE kernel disposition
   * Kernel team would like to drop non-PAE kernel soon
   * TB members generally feel that (1) dropping the current default kernel is too much of a step, and (2) there is still a significant number of users which have non-PAE systems, based on Launchpad bug report data and an ubuntu-devel@ strawpoll
   * Maintaining the extra flavour is not much extra work, and not comparable to e. g. the -ti-omap4 kernel which is an entirely separate source tree
   * We need a way to prevent upgrades for non-PAE systems. Some options were mentioned:
    * Add update-manager check to not offer the upgrade if PAE is not available
    * Add libc6/linux preinst to abort the upgrade early if PAE is not available; that's not the best failure mode, but will prevent a safety net for users of `apt-get dist-upgrade`
   * '''Agreements''':
    * Switch precise over to PAE kernel by default on i386; we retain the option to revert if it causes too much fallout (Colin)
    * Drop non-PAE flavour in 12.10; this will give non-PAE systems another 5 years of life time, which is considered enough
    * Further discuss upgrade strategy/checks

  * Micro release Exception for Nova, Swift, Glance, and Keystone
   * https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2011-November/001142.html
   * deferred to discussion by email, as we ran out of time

  * Next meeting:
   * Skipping the December 26 meeting due to Christmas holidays
   * Next on 2012-01-09
   * Chair: Matt Zimmerman
