   • Accept agenda

3. (pitti) progress discussion for https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-6.06.2

4. (pitti) While I am on honeymoon, some of my roles need to be taken by some other distro team members:
   • final release management of dapper.2 (final CD testing, announcements, etc.)

   • release management of Tribes 5 & 6

   • Handholding the apport retracers; I filed RT#28728 to make this possible, and I will write some documentation about it; seb128 offered to help out here already
   • SRU bug handling and archive processing
   • (maybe) language pack building; this should not take any manual intervention actually, so it's not that crucial.

Done:

• Investigations
  • nss_files seg fault (stack exhaustion with giant hosts file)

Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)

• Various designs for Ubuntu desktop wallpaper created. Considered posting these on the wiki but due to the lack of interest in the "call for wallpapers" decided not to.
• KDM dialog pic updated with logo more in line with usplash - much the same as the Ubuntu usplash and GDM have similar logos
• Finally received gobuntu logo, work started on usplash. Limited time spent here - just getting the boot process online with current ubuntu/kubuntu/edubuntu designs.
• Mobile Stuff: Started a test attempt to simply edit the Nokia theme template SVG (huge! and not what we want in several ways). Probably start again once I figure out a decent plan of attack. Intel promised to work on tweaking the themeing and getting back to being able to use a tool to cut up the SVG (for some technical reason the system does not work as-is).

Martin Pitt (pitti)

Spec status:

• apport-better-retracing: no reply from wine team; will implement the fallback solution of ignoring wine crashes in apport at all next week
• apport-for-upstreams: set to 'blocked' now; we did everything from our side in the spec, waiting for upstream to give more feedback on the data format and move towards it; I'll keep some IRC contact with them
• debian-maintainer-field: no change (remaining universe rebuilds will be done after feature freeze to minimize churn)
• restricted-manager-improvements: got notification about "you can enable nonfree drivers for better performance" check/notification implemented, will upload after Tribe release; will attempt to complete this spec before my wedding

Other notable stuff done:

• Tribe 4 release management *ugh*

• Lots of cups cleanups, dropped our complicated derooting patches, replaced with an AppArmor profile. Less secure, but much easier to maintain and fixes a lot of regressions from the derooting patches.

• Lots of sponsoring for Till and Bryce
