  Q/omap4: a new Q/omap4 3.5 kernel was uploaded yesterday 
(3.5.0-208.14) and 
a                                                                                                        
new one that includes all the patches that went into tilt-3.4[1] after i
  started my porting is being worked on.

=== Status: Quantal Development Kernel  ===
  We've recently uploaded the 3.5.0-11.11 Quantal kernel to the release
  pocket.  This upload most notably provides a rebase to the v3.5.2
  upstream stable release.  This was also uploaded to the q-lts-backport
  [1] PPA to help facilitate testing of the 12.10 kernel in 12.04.  We
  welcome anyone to please install, test, and let us know your feedback.

  Note that we are ~1 week away from Beta 1 Freeze.  I intend to upload or
  Beta-1 kernel no later than next Tues, Aug 28.  If there are any patches
  which need to land, send them to the Ubuntu kernel team mailing list
  asap.
  Important upcoming dates:
