running.

jjohansen reports the EC2 kernel is being problematic, and if a kernel
isn't working by friday then alpha2 may have to use a Lucid based kernel.

==== Papercuts status (ttx) ====

Alpha2 iteration status can be seen at
https://launchpad.net/server-papercuts/+milestone/maverick-alpha-2.  If
you lack time to complete these bugs, you are asked to unassign yourself
so they can be reassigned.

For Alpha3, we are short on nominations.  ttx blogged about it in the
hopes of provoking more:

issues-in-ubuntu-server/

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

Zul says that at UDS in Brussels, there was a session about involving more
people in nominating SRUs by using the mailing list, rather than the team
meeting.  He'd like to start that next week, by sending an email to
ubuntu-server m-l.

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

Nothing to discuss

==== Open Discussion ====

ttx begs or badgers for papercut nominations.
