=== What was done engineering wise? ===
We have rebased our Raring kernel to the latest upstream v3.8-rc2 Linux kernel.  We are holding off on uploading until we resolve some DKMS package build failures.  We anticipate these being resolved by end of week and will plan to upload shortly thereafter.  This will be the first v3.8 based Raring kernel uploaded to the archive.  We will continue to remain on a v3.8 kernel for the remainder of the 13.04 cycle.

=== What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release as a whole? ===
With the Precise 12.04.2 point release also nearing, we are planning on skipping a kernel SRU cadence to allow for an additional 3 weeks of testing/baking for the kernel that will ship with the 12.04.2 point release.

=== Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items, release wide concerns? ===
Nothing at this time.
