Everybody attends UDS, however FOSScamp attendance is optional. We ran through the team to see who wanted to attend:
* Keybuk
* pitti
* mpt
* seb128
* Riddell
* MacSlow
Not attending:
* tedg
Maybe:
* mvo
* kwwii
== Targeted and Milestoned bugs ==
* use importance and milestone field for your own use on non-targeted bugs
* target a bug to the development release to put it on the RM's radar
* importance and milestone of targeted bugs specifies how release critical it is
== Release Status ==
* gnome-session session saving and restoring does not work at all; it seems like a serious regression, but apart from rolling back to Hardy's gnome-session, there's not much we can do.
* libgphoto2 camera handling is broken, both gvfs and f-spot try to use the device through libgphoto; thus f-spot fails due to gvfs holding it
== Activity reports ==
=== Jonathan Riddell (Riddell) ===
done:
* network manager probing, turns out it's just as broken in suse as it is in us
* packaging Qt 4.4.2
* packaging Qt Jambi
* upgrade testing and a few fixes for it
* kdebase-runtime removing svg icons

* discussing UDS and FOSSCamp with potential Kubuntu and KDE attendees
todo:
* beta
=== Kenneth Wimer (kwwii) ===
* looking into moving out old and/or unwanted gnome themes. After discussion with seb this seems to mess up any upgrades. Are we willing to accept this?
* updated quite a few packages, put in my PPA as well as submitted for Intrepid. Pitti helped me to fix several problems before including them in Intrepid. Packages include:
* gtk2-engines-murrine (new svn snapshot for Intrepid)
* ubuntu-gdm-themes (new gdm art)
* ubuntu-wallpapers (new wallpaper)
* human-theme (bug fixes)
* community-themes (new package in Intrepid)
* ubuntu-sounds (new sounds, package larger, discussing with Steve)
* quite a bit of community discussion around Kyūdō (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/KyudoGuidelines)
=== Martin Pitt (pitti) ===
Two weeks this time, I did not send a report last week due to conference.
Assigned Intrepid specs:
* intrepid-device-permissions: implemented
* gdm-guest-account: beta available, needs major bug fix (#262228)
* jockey-printer-driver-support: implemented, all things from the spec work now; as bonus, Till is working on the s-c-p integration (will need FF exception)
Other non-chores work done:
* went to Linux Plumbers Conference, see my travel report
* conf call and discussions about landscape integration
* covered for Scott being ill, team meeting chair/reparation/report
Sponsoring:
* community-themes, g-v-m, gtk2-engines-murrine, kvm, libgnomeprintui, transmission, a few syncs, and reviewed a bunch of sponsor bugs which need work
=== Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) ===
Off sick for most of the week.
=== Michael Vogt (mvo) ===
update-manager:
* some confusion about landscape, added a desktop upgrade rule to remove it (because it is only useful for paying customers), but then removed that rule again because it is now readded to ubuntu-desktop
* upgrade testing according to UpgradeTestingProcess - looks good so far (except CDROM upgrades are currently broken, #273979)
* learned that fglrx, nvidia-71 and nvidia-96 are currently not working with xserver 1.5 and preparing update-manager code to detect/transition them to free drivers (partly done)
synaptic:
* work on the xapian search and fix hang for very short searches
* better results for substring searches
gnome-app-install:
* updated app-install-data-ubuntu for alpha-6
* merge upstream applications.menu changes into the g-a-i menu so that they match again
* fixes in the maintaince UI code
* add extraction code to the upate-menu-data package that can extract the new style codec information (e.g. in gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly)
apt:
* fix segfault in cacheiterators.h
* fix leak in the description processing
compiz:
* packaging 0.7.8 in the compiz PPA
* file FFE for 0.7.8
* good feedback on it so far
misc:
* mail
* bugfixes
* fixes in python-apt
* play with kvm loadvm/savevm again, still unreliable
* help seb with the gnome 2.24 update
* sponsoring (packagekit, gnome 2.24)
=== Mirco Müller (MacSlow) ===
login-experience/gdm-face-browser:
* figured out ho gdm's dbus protocol communication between session-manager and a greeter works using the commands "SelectUser", "BeginVerificationForUser", "SecretInfoQuery", "AnswerQuery", "StartSessionWhenReady"
* authentication of a selected user works now
* able to log in using the face-browser of the new login-experience for the first time ever
* display of a users login-status in the face-browser/graphical-greeter still not working, in contact with William Jon McCann to sort this out
misc:
* more GNOME-hackfest/summit travel preparations *sigh*
* upgraded and updated laptop to intrepid becaue of ...
* iwl3945 timeout issue
* Xorg blanking issue
* after the update built-in ethernet NIC not working anymore (perhaps related to the e1000 kernel-module bug), iwl3945 issue not solved, Xorg blanking issue seems solved
* so no laptop with working network ... not such a good perspective considering the trip to GNOME-hackfest/summit in two weeks
=== Sebastien Bacher (seb128) ===
* GNOME 2.23.92 updates
* lot of desktop bugs triage
* worked on fixing the retracers after the ronne move to the new datacenter, the duplicates database was corrupted, restarted the bots using a fixed version slightly smaller
* did some hardy sru uploads:
* new nautilus bug fix version
* new libglib bug fix version
* backported some nautilus-sendto svn changes
*- backported a gtk patch to fix ipp printing in some cases
* GNOME 2.24.0 updates, lot of those!
* lot of sponsoring for those updates too, nice to see some active contributors giving an hand, thanks to Daniel, Martin and Michael who did their share on sponsoring too
=== Ted Gould (tedg) ===
FUSA:
* Mess with GNOME Panel to get the default settings with the FUSA applet in the upper right corner.
* Fix the GConf in FUSA so that people upgrading will get the right GConf keys
* Very crashers are fixed on CDs (turns out GDM reports no users)
* Posted a blog entry with description and links to all the of the patches so no one can say we're hiding anything (jcastro was concerned about this)
Packaging:
* GPM update to 2.24. Turned out to be difficult as upstream decided to change all the debug functions.
* GSS update to 2.24.
* FUSA update to 2.24.
Misc:
* Booked travel for UDS Jaunty
* Oddly, Atlas travel wanted to know my birthday and the date of birth on my passport separately... still find that interesting.
* Reshuffled travel for Boston GNOME Summit and UI hackfest
* Booked OEM team for meet up
* Tried to find out more details on the hackfest in general, but there doesn't seem to be too many.
