=== ARM Status  ===
Kernel news/SRU: mainly CVEs for imx51 and omap4, a small config change to avoid a kernel panic on imx51, and another config change to get lxc on omap4.
New 4.6 cross toolchain: lp791552 ("No USB support on beagle/beagleXM") seems it has uncovered a problem with the new 4.6 toolchain, reproduced the issue with a linaro kernel and forwarded to linaro mailing list.

=== Blueprints: Oneiric Delta Review  ===
apw, jjohansen, lag, manjo, ralveti, rtg: you have work items to review your set of Ubuntu patches which I've postponed to Alpha-2 for you.  Please take a moment to review when you have a chance. See 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Specs/KernelOneiricUbuntuDeltaReview for your specific set of patches.

=== Blueprints: Oneiric Server Requirements  ===
Nothing new.

=== Status: General Oneiric  ===
We've almost resolved all the issues from the v3.0 fallout.  We're just wrestling with module-init-tools to get depmod sorted out.  We've rebased to v3.0-rc2 and pushed to master-next.  With v3.0-rc2, there's an issue on boot (black screen of death) when 
the i915 driver is loaded.  This can be worked around using i915.modeset=0 at the moment.  There's also reported boot issues on some system's with atom processors on at least v3.0-rc1.  So, I'm a bit hesitant to upload at the moment knowing we'll break 
some common hardware use cases.
<<BR>>
Module init tools are very very nearly there, last reviews going on now.

=== Status: Stable Kernel Team  ===
  * Hardy - no bugs needing verification, moving right into QA.
  * Lucid and Maverick - Dealing with USB regressions. New kernels are being packaged and will be uploaded today.
  * Natty - A possible regression was reported, herton is investigating.

=== Security & bugfix kernels - Maverick/Lucid/Hardy  ===

=== Open Discussion or Questions: Raise your hand to be recognized  ===
  * First item is what to do with the Oneiric Bug Handling blueprint
   * The majority of remaining work items center around our bug tooling and are not release critical.  IMO we don't really want/need this to be on the agenda each week.  Thoughts?
   * We are going to be doing what we can using tooling and the rest add hock
   * I'll look over the blueprint and see where i can help out
