Approved: access-gdm, braille-support, color-filters, common-at-conf, orca-laptop-support

feisty-speakup -- Depends on involvement from the speakup community. The next week or so will tell.

Abandoned: atspi-testing-by-default -- seb128 had issues with this and I see his point.

Martin Pitt (pitti)

Done:

lots of package merges
spec reviews, discussions, and approvals; my own (assignee/drafter) feisty specs are all approved; I approved most of the specs I'm approver for, except:
- simple-x-mode-selection: still in drafting, pinged rodarvus yesterday
- scalable-installation-testing: was approved this morning with our original design; mdz had a different idea which got discussed shortly this morning, but which requires more intrusive changes in ubiquity, the db design, and other components, so I set it back to discussion for now
- ltsp-local-apps: utterly complex and a quick discussion with cjwatson revealed that this needs much more thought (this one is not marked for feisty)
cleanup-audio-jumble: tested pulseaudio and attempted to create the mentioned (in spec) patch to not hog the audio device; this failed due to the principal design of pulse; upstream works on a cleaner and more generic solution, but this will not be ready for feisty; since I do not want to break compatibility with commercial OSS apps and the multiuser case

, I did not continue working on this for now

zero-configuration-networking:
- did the required changes to base-files, avahi-autoipd, avahi, libnss-mdns, and ifupdown, so that the stuff works OOTB now when using dhclient
- filed bug for zeroconf package removal
- still missing: fix network-manager to not clobber the avahi-autoipd address (so that .local name resolution works with n-m), teach network-admin about the new ifupdown method (not that urgent, though, most people will not use the new /e/n/interfaces method and just rely on n-m or dhclient), and seed avahi-autoipd to ubuntu-desktop (after herd freeze)
apport-improvements: got apport bits in for intercepting Python crashes, discussed a battle plan for Mono with slomo
two OpenWeek talks
started discussion and coding for automated package tests (mainly to improve QA of security updates so far, but this topic seems to grow and grow)

Todo:

finish zero-configuration-networking implementation
fix feisty's and edgy's gnome-system-tools authentication problem
change dapper's and edgy's ~/.xsession-errors rotation handling to new plan
dive into bug triage
look into other specs as time permits

Simon Law (sfllaw)

Done:

Taught two classes for UbuntuOpenWeek
Verified many StableReleaseUpdates
Bug triage
Decided on two interns for the Montreal office
scalable-installation-testing spec is drafted

To do:

Interview more interns on Friday
Start getting thin clients for interns
Write documentation on Wiki about Ubuntu QA and TestPlans/TestCases.

Blocked:

synaptic SRU is waiting in the edgy-proposed NEW queue

Specs:

bug-reporting-tool (Approved)
scalable-installation-testing (Discussion)
- We should probably implement some form of scalable-installation-testing, even if it isn't sufficiently general. The Testing/Current wiki page must die.
