=== ARM Status  ===
Kernel development: nothing to report.
Oneiric/ti-omap4: got a new BSP drop from agreen, rebased on top of rc7 and rolled out a new kernel. People in the arm team are testing it and so far (besides an audio bug that looks like a pulseaudio issue) it looks good. A kernel package is available 
here: http://people.canonical.com/~ppisati/ti-omap4-next/ while the source code is available on ppisati at zinc:oneiric-git/ti-omap4-next.

=== Blueprints: Oneiric Delta Review  ===
apw, lag, ralveti: you have work items to review your set of Ubuntu patches.  I've pushed these out to Alpha-3 for you.  Please take a moment to review when you have a chance. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Specs/KernelOneiricUbuntuDeltaReview for 
your specific set of patches.  Note, these are the only remaining work items for this blueprint.

=== Blueprints: Oneiric Server Requirements  ===
No change here. As the remains items are pretty much depending on outcome of something else and either fall off completely or get pushed out as we go, I am not sure it really needs to be on the agenda anymore. Would people mind dropping it?

This will be dropped from the weekly agenda.

=== Status: General Oneiric  ===
Nothing very exciting this past week.  I plan to do an upload today or tomorrow to get patches on master-next released.  Alpha-3 is Thurs Aug 4th.  I intend to upload our final Alpha-3 kernel next Friday July 29th.  If there are any patches that need to 
land for Alpha-3, get them sent to the kt-ml asap.

=== Status: CVE's  ===
=== CVE Metrics ===
We have made good progress recently with most branches only having a single CVE open; CVE-2011-1020 for which the fixes were just identified.
