Meeting Agenda]]


=== ARM Status  ===
 work on a Q/omap4 kernel is ongoing, but apart from that, nothing to
report this week


=== Release Metrics and Incoming Bugs  ===

=== Status: Quantal Development Kernel  ===
 a few things...
 Work items are beginning to populate the blueprints.  I'll start calling
 out specific work items in upcoming meetings.
 We've rebased the Quantal kernel to upstream v3.4-rc7.  We uploaded but
 ran into a build failure on i386.  Test builds are currently underway
 and we will re-upload shortly.  We also have the quantal kernel building
 in precise.  We are getting a PPA set up so that testing can commence.
 Important upcoming dates:
  * Thurs Jun 7 - Alpha 1 (~3 weeks)

=== Status: CVE's  ===
 Currently we have 82 CVEs on our radar, with 5 new CVEs in the last
 three weeks.  See the CVE matrix for the current list:

 Overall the backlog has increased slightly slightly this week:

 This week sees Quantal listed for the first time, and the addition
 of the armadaxp kernels for ease of tracking.
