Its not necessarily a good idea to rely on Ubuntu Traffic IMO, although mako 
does an almost impossible job very well, it comes out some time later (the 
latest one is 4th february atm), and not necessarily all the relevant topics 
for the docteam will be covered. However I agree with you that a formal 
weekly round up of what's going on in the dev ML is not necessarily: just:

As far as the technical board meeting is concerned, 4am in Australia is 
bound to be a reasonable time here in London so I'll look it up and try and 
be there. Maybe we can agree on an ad hoc basis who is available to attend 
future ones. I will start making a point of going to the CC meetings at any 
rate. However these ARE summarised quickly and efficiently. Its just a 
question of making sure people are aware of any docteam implications of our 
decisions, and I think the Technical Board is the most important one from 
that point of view.
