multi-lingual-speech -- good progress on the gnome-speech eSpeak driver
gdm-accessibility -- Upstream testers report Orca sworking with GDM
a11y-other -- gnome-mag should be rebuilt with composite
a11y-future -- started working with a group at TU Karlsruhe that has just received govt. funding to improve a11y in Ubuntu
forum-based ISO testing - 40-odd people have 'signed up' to test, though only 2 ISO test has come in so far. The fast turnover of testing may be a problem. Post-release testing has it's value too at this early release, so I'll encourage that to help build a team. See: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=201
forum-other -- I attended to first Forum Council meeting and continue to work with the Forum Ambassadors team.
launchpad-contact - If you haven't done so already, please add you favourite small LP bugs to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelTeamLPWishList -- I've also inited matthewrevell along today for Q&A

Ian Jackson (iwj)

Done: gnome-app-install-codecs - this is now pretty much implemented but it needs to be properly deployed and integration tested. mvo is reviewing my changes. Thanks also to Tim Mueller and seb for their work on easy-codec-installation (the upper of the two layers in this linked pair of specs). To do: automated-testing-deployment - just picked this up today again. Thanks to mvo for helpful contributions regarding integration with apt. Blocked: winmodem-support - Decision needs to be made (by Tech board?) about nonfree drivers. (Please let us not go down the binary driver rathole on this one!) Unchanged since before Christmas: consistent-login-screen.

Martin Pitt (pitti)

Done:

bug-reporting-tool: version with manual apport file upload is in feisty; version with Launchpad cloakroom upload is ready in apport-cloakroom branch, waiting for Malone to actually get along with those blobs (Bjorn asserted that this will work by the sprint)
increase-hwdb-participation: some initial discussion with cjwatson and ogra, need more discussion with cjwatson; <rant>This is a very poor spec without any implementation bits *at all*; how did this make it to approved?</rant>
lots of apport refactorization and UI redesign: now it's much more robust code, ui workflow is covered by regression tests, and easily portable to other UIs (Qt/CLI/etc.)
SRU bug 59946 (gnome-system-tools): uploaded fix for regression in g-s-t to -proposed; waiting for cjwatson to accept upload
SRU bug 72125 (tzdata): edgy is in -proposed; dapper upload done, needs to be accepted
took a look at printerdrake for making a test Ubuntu package; unfortunately the Mandrake lib is unbuildable on Ubuntu, so for redesigning the UI we need to use Mdk live CDs
lots of apport and hal bug fixing
got through my some-2000 bug emails, and went through all hal bugs, triaged them, and fixed the low-hanging fruit
herd-2 testing on amd64 and powerpc

To Do:

update langpacks for stables (this was postponed due to some Rosetta bugs, but they are fixed now); I need -proposed guru love for that again
finish g-s-t and tzdata SRUs, do similar SRU for python-tz
fix broken PtP cameras in edgy-proposed
do pending security uploads while Kees is on LCA
do my share of universe merges
apport: abstract and refactor ubuntu specific bits (dpkg, malone) into separate classes, call for a discussion with Gnome, KDE, and some other distros about more widespread adoption
holiday from next Wednesday to Friday, will be on the sprint on time, though

Michael Vogt (mvo)

Did:

- upgrade testing (automatic, update-manager -d, apt-get) - dapper-commercial/edgy-commercial opera reivew/upload - realplay testing for edgy-commercial, needs a full testsuit run before it can enter edgy-commercial - use auto-installed information in g-a-i when applications are removed - some initial process space separation for the dist-ugprader - command-not-found fixes and uploaded new version. feels good, do we want to get it into main and enable it by default? - fixes to the automatic-dist-upgrade testing system, more runs, but still no deployment in the data-center
- CommonCustomizations features added/bugs fixed (mostly in g-a-i) and trying to contact the automatix2 guys - some hacking on the apt mirror download method - synaptic hacking for the AlwaysEnableUniverseMultiverse spec

Will do:

- finish synaptic/g-a-i modifications for AlwaysEnableUniverseMultiverse - get realplayer into edgy-commerical - resolve the last open issues for CommonCustomizations - more work on dist-upgrader-fixes

Answered to bug reports
Helped Martin Pitt to port Printerdrake to Ubuntu by uploading a complete set of screen shots for all dialogs (http://www.freestandards.org/~till/tmp/printerdrake/screenshots/) and documentation (http://www.freestandards.org/~till/tmp/printerdrake/03DIS-2007EN.pdf, http://www.freestandards.org/~till/tmp/printerdrake/03SPP-2007EN.pdf) and giving him some explanations. I recommend using a Mandriva 2007 live CD.
Started to package free printer drivers which are not yet in Ubuntu (epsonepl, pxljr, capt, ...)
foo2zjs update

To do

Continue packaging printer drivers
Continue helping Martin on the printerdrake port
