=== Blueprints: Natty Bug Handling  ===
  * apport hook change item: POSTPONED
    * I will not likely get to this before UDS, but if I do, I will update the status then.
  * develop process for handling, validation & closure, and document in the wiki:INPROGRESS
    * I still have a bit of work to do on this. I didn't have the time over the past week to complete it.
  * drive existing bugs with patches list to zero and keep it there:INPROGRESS
    * My thanks to those of you who have been working on this. The list continues to drop significantly every week.
    * Other items in the list didn't get looked at this past week. I have time scheduled this coming week to address them and, hopefully, close them out.

=== Status: General Natty  ===
The natty kernel is now at v2.6.38-5.32 (v2.6.38-rc6 based).  Overall we have most of our development out of the way, with just the ecryptfs long filename work ongoing.  We are currently concentrating on bug squashing for Natty.  One area of concern is an 
interaction between vesafb and drmfb during boot, in some cases we are triggering gpu hangs; upstream says "don't do that".  We are currently in freeze for Alpha-3.  We are waiting on -rc7 which should be imminent, planning to upload it as soon as freeze 
lifts.

=== Status: Ecryptfs  ===
No real progress - postponed for natty.  xattr version still waiting for review, some work on in header version

===  Status: Stable Kernel Team (sconklin / bjf) ===
We are in the middle of preparing kernels for a new cycle and uploading them to our PPA. We had planned to complete this last week but were delayed by a possible regression in the last set of kernels undergoing testing. This turned out not to be a 
regression, and we are free to proceed.  We plan to have all the remaining packages uploaded today.

=== Incoming Bugs: Bug day report  ===
Last week's bug day was a success. We had quite a number of bugs reviewed.  Many changed states. I had the opportunity to take a closer look at the arsenal script we use to process these and there is some work continuing there to make that script work 
better. The next bug day will be next Tuesday.  I had originally hoped to have one today, but I couldn't get everything ready and announced in time, so I will announce for next week.

=== Triage Status  ===
We have had quite a bit of interest in the periphery on bug triage. I have been fielding a few requests in #ubuntu-bugs about the proper level of information needed in bugs as well as the occasional private request. As always, I am recomending that 
interested parties inquire in our channel on #ubuntu-kernel so that others can benefit from the knowledge sharing.

=== Open Discussion or Questions:  ===
Nothing new.
