Matthew and Ken will move to the Visual/Creative Design team next week.

 * reorganizing my data on my laptop to make space for Jaunty development
 * uploading hardy langpack updates
 * doing some work on font-selector

=== Bryce Harrington (bryce) ===

General:
 * Worked on assigned bugs, updated todo lists
 * Reviewed -intel quirks.
  * Filed Hardy SRU for the 8xx pipea quirk, which has been sufficiently well tested now.
 * Catch up on xorg, debian-x, etc. mailing lists
 * Upstreamed 190857, 291053, 291045, 291040, 270690, 291055, 268853
 * Triaged 500 new bugs across various xorg packages.  Resulted in being able to close several score as fixed, or invalid due to unavailable hardware.
 * Sponsor queue 1 hr (mainly just cleanup/review)

Assigned release targeted bugs:
 * 284346 "Fix dithering" [Fix Committed].  Cherrypicked patches from upstream for this, packaged, tested, and submitted as SRU.
 * 274234 "CD_INVALID_OPCODE" [Fix Committed].  Fix for 284346 should also fix this one.
 * 278318 "video tearing".  Not targeted, but regression worth review, that can probably be easily addressed by adding an xorg.conf option.
