=== What was done engineering wise? ===
Last week we uploaded the 3.4.0-3.8 Quantal kernel which was based on 
the final v3.4 upstream kernel.  This upload also included an updated 
AppArmor patch set, misc config updates, and bug fixes.  We've continued 
to homogenize the Quantal kernel config this week and will intend to 
upload these latest changes no later than Monday.  This upcoming upload 
will be what we intend to ship for the Alpha-1 release.

We are above the trend line for our Alpha-1 burn down chart and a few 
items will be deferred to the Alpha-2 milestone.

=== What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release 
as a whole? ===
We anticipate the upstream v3.5-rc1 kernel to release relatively soon.  
We will hold uploading a v3.5 based kernel until after the Alpha-1 
milestone.

=== Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) ===
  * Bug:1003793 - broadcom wireless does not work with 
quantal-backport-kernel
  * Bug:1004101 - [RFE] Allow Bug Reporting When Running Backport Kernel
  * Bug:988447 - Move linux-headers-generic to section metapackages

=== Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items, 
release wide concerns? ===
None at this time.
