=== Blueprints: Natty Bug Handling  ===
  * I am reviewing the items this week (had planned to do last week, but didn't get to it)
to determine what, if any, items need to be postponed or require further discussion at UDS. There
are several items that are relatively straightforward and simply need to have the time allotted
for them to be completed. I'll plan and implement that schedule for myself also this week.

=== Status: General Natty ===
Beta-1 is this Thursday, March 31. Beta-1 will ship with the 2.6.38-7.39 kernel which is based on mainline v2.6.38. Do not expect any further uploads of the kernel until after Beta. In the mean time we've been queueing patches in the master-next branch 
including rebasing to the most recent 2.6.38.2 stable update. Also keep in mind that Kernel Freeze is April 14, ~2weeks away. After kernel freeze we will transition to our SRU policy when submitting and accepting patches. See:
< >
[[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates]]
< >
[[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/StablePatchFormat]]
< >
< >
I'd like to also note that Kernel Freeze is also the same date as Beta 2. Any uploads beyond that would likely have to be of the kitten killing nature.

===  Status: Stable Kernel Team ===

We are extending the verification phase of this kernel cycle to two weeks in order to resync with master
Natty interlock schedule.
< >
< >
Due to a shortage of testing resources and testing required for the upcoming Natty release, there will
not be a normal two-week kernel release cadence for the next few weeks. The schedule is as follows:
< >
< >

kernel  (maverick, lucid) -) proposed  3/25
verification in progress this week
hw cert/qa   - 4/1-4/7
kernel (maveric, lucid) -) update 4/7
kernel ( maverick, lucid?)-) proposed 4/22
verification 4/25-4/29
hw cert/qa - 4/29 - 5/5
kernel (maverick, lucid? ) to update 5/5
<<BR>>
<<BR>>

  * We will complete verification (or revert of patches) by this Friday for the current kernels.

  * We will have no uploads on the 8th of April, effectively skipping one of the two week cycles that we have been on.

  * We will upload Maverick and Lucid to -proposed on Friday, April 22

We still have not found the root cause of a build failure for the hppa architecture for the Hardy
linux-backports-modules package. This must be understood and resolved before we can release the
Hardy kernel packages, so if it is not resolved by the end of this week we will have to delay
the testing phase for Hardy until we understand it.
