=== Blueprints: Natty Bug Handling  ===
Nothing new.

=== Blueprints: Enhancements to the firmware test suite  ===
  * Lots of tidying up
  * 0.22.00 now in Natty universe

=== Blueprints: Review of the Stable Maintenance Process (sconklin / bjf) ===
Last week all open fixes for all kernels were verified. This means that we're now in the Testing phase of the kernel SRU process. There are two reported regressions in Maverick which are being investigated. They are:
< >
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/721213
< >
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/722747
< >
< >

Lucid and Maverick will receive testing from Certification and QA. We need testing from users for all other kernels, to at least insure that they boot and run. If you boot any of these kernels, please update the tracking bug for that kernel with the results.
< >
< >

The Kernel Team's SRU report has moved out to a more publicly accessible location: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/reports/sru-report.html

=== Status: Cert. Team   ===
We will be starting testing this week (tomorrow) the kernels for Maverick and Lucid.  We will finish and report back before March 1st

=== Status: Ecryptfs ===
 * took a bit of a detour last week with tyler exploring compression of filenames
 * still waiting on full review
< >
< >
Question: We've definitely decided to postpoone long file names until after 11.04 ?
< >
Answer: I believe so, dustin thinks its the way to go too
< >

=== Status: Natty  ===
The natty kernel is now at v2.6.38-4.31 (v2.6.38-rc5 based).  We have just rebased to v2.6.38-rc6 and uploaded, this should be in the archive before feature freeze. Overall we have most of our development out of the way, with just the ecryptfs long 
filename work ongoing.  We are currently concentrating on bug squashing for Natty.

Today is Bug Day. We are looking at bugs in the new state. I'd like to ae another Bug Day next week covering Confirmed bugs. I'll post details to the mailing lists and our voices blog. I've also added twitter notices to my list of announcements for Bug 
Days, so far we have had a more positive response to this than I expected.
