- Guests: Micah Gersten
- action review
  - Rick Spencer had raised the Unity-by-default decision for discussion. The desktop team was supportive of the decision, but there was a lack of clarity as to whether they had, or needed, the support of the TB for it. Some clarification of the natural boundaries of responsibility between TB, Release, Desktop and Server teams was discussed, the feeling being that TB should normally allow those teams to make such decisions, except in exceptional circumstances which affect multiple teams (upstart was given as an example).
  - MDZ was working on a series of Debian-related bugs, which are either fixed or now being tracked as part of DEX.
- Status of Lubuntu
  - Approved as official Ubuntu project, pending additional space on cdimage.ubuntu.com (in progress)
  - No announcement but Lubuntu free to act as official project
  - Thanks and congrats to Lubuntu team!
