All specs should be appropriately targeted & work items defined by  
Wednesday EOB.
If there are any questions, please ping jib and he'll help resolve them.

==== Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen) ====

Regarding Bug:597387: Maverick EC2 kernel issue, jjohansen created a new
Xen kernel and will be testing it during the week. Once that is  
stabilized,
jjohansen will work on a pv-ops kernel.

The kernel team is still looking for active feedback[1] on the merit  
of including
the atop kernel patches[2]. Please chime in if you have feedback to  
offer!

==== Weekly SRU review: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/ 
KnowledgeBase#SRU%20weekly%20review (zul) ====

Chuck announced[3] the new SRU process on the mailing list last week,  
which should
make it easier to nominate new SRUs and track them:

  1. Bug is fixed in development release.
  2. A weekly email is sent to the Ubuntu Server mailing list on the  
Monday.
  3. Users will have until Friday to nominate bugs that have been  
fixed in the development
     list, by giving a +1 to the bug number and the reason for it.
  4. The nominations will be reviewed and be nominated accordingly  
based on investigation

This weeks nominations were sent out on Monday[4] - Please nominate  
those you'd like
to see approved by Friday!

You can track the overall process of nominated & approved SRUs in the  
new SRU Tracker[5],
which is updated nightly.

==== Weekly Updates & Questions for the Documentation Team (sommer) ====

Sommer reminds us that if you find a bug in the documentation, you  
should file it against
ubuntu-docs[6]

==== Open Discussion ====

SpamapS would like to add a topic for next weeks meeting on improving  
Rubygems in Ubuntu.
Mathias points him at Bug:403407 for the background on the current  
state.

==== Agree on next meeting date and time ====

Next meeting will be on Tuesday 2010-07-13 at 1800 UTC in #ubuntu- 
meeting

On behalf of the Ubuntu Server Team,
