=== Milestone Targeted Work Items ===
|| apw || hardware-p-kernel-boot || 3 work items ||
|| || hardware-p-kernel-delta-review || 1 work item ||
|| || foundations-p-ipv6 || 1 work item ||
|| cking || hardware-p-kernel-delta-review || 1 work item ||
|| ogasawara || hardware-p-kernel-version-and-flavors || 1 work item ||
|| tgardner || hardware-p-kernel-version-and-flavors || 1 work item ||
|| || hardware-p-kernel-delta-review || 1 work item ||
If your name is in the above table, please review your Alpha-1 work
items and either get them closed or push them out to the next milestone.
Remember, Alpha-1 is Thurs Dec 1.
=== Blueprint: hardware-p-kernel-power-management ===
Power Management:
* i386 vs i386-pae vs amd64 power measurements; various user space
scenarios
* instrument ACPI battery information against different scenarios
* use ACPI battery analysis to improve powerstat, push out V0.00.04
* instrument unity 2D vs 3D in a limited set of tests
* started instrumenting powertop tunables on sandybridge H/W, compare
to Win7
=== Status: Precise Development Kernel ===
We have uploaded the 3.2.0-2.5 Ubuntu kernel which was based on the
latest upstream v3.2-rc3 kernel. Please install and test on any kit you
have. Feedback is appreciated. We are in a soft freeze for Alpha-1, we
do not intend any uploads until after the milestone.
Important Upcoming Dates:
* Thurs Dec 1 - Alpha 1 (2 days)
* Thurs Feb 2 - Alpha 2 (~ 9 weeks)

=== Open Discussion or Questions? Raise your hand to be recognized ===
* Discussion about uploading non-pae kernels and fixing the Apple MAC
installs as well as the crda stuff.
* Is the installer ready for us to use generic ?
* Hesitation about removing the non-pae kernel so close to the milestone
without giving more of a heads up.
* Goal is prior to Alpha 2.
* A work item will be listed for for the installer work.
* The crda bits are not critical for alpha1? I could see an upload for
the apple mac installs, or just release noting it for now.
* Wireless-crda converted to a meta package and uploaded
* Apple can be release noted.
