=== Status: Raring Development Kernel  ===
  We have rebased the Raring kernel to the latest v3.8-rc2 upstream
  kernel.  We have held off on uploading until we have resolved some DKMS
  package build failures.  Everyone should also review the
  ubuntu-raring/dropped.txt file to review anything that may have
  inadvertantly gone missing after the rebase.
  Important upcoming dates:
   * Raring:
    * Fri Jan 18 - 13.04 Month 3 Milestone (1 week)
    * Mon Feb 18 - 13.04 Month 4 Milestone (~6 weeks)
   * Precise:
    * Thu Jan 10 - 12.04.2 Kernel Freeze (~2 days)
    * Thu Feb 14 - 12.04.2 Release (~5 weeks)

  We should have the last DKMS issues fixed tomorrow.
  We may have -rc3 by then as well.


=== Status: CVE's  ===
  Currently we have 33 CVEs on our radar, with 4 CVE added and 2 CVEs 
retired since last meeting (11th Dec).
  See the CVE matrix for the current list:
