Meeting Agenda]]


=== ARM Status  ===
 Q/omap4: nothing new this week - for alpha2 we are going to use alpha1
kernel, but after we cut this milestone, work on a 3.5 "almost vanilla"
kernel will immediately start.
 Q/omap3: 3.5rcX came with regressions in different subsets (video, mmc
and usb) - a pending kernel (3.5.2-2) should have fixed all these issues.

 items.

=== Status: Quantal Development Kernel  ===
 We have recently rebased the Quantal kernel to the latest v3.5-rc4
 upstream kernel and have also uploaded.  We hope for this to land in the
 Alpha 2 images.  This also contains some critical bug fixes for omap3 and
 i386 cloud images.  It's currently building in the quantal-proposed
 pocket.  This will also get uploaded to the q-lts-backport [1] PPA to
 help facilitate testing of the 12.10 kernel in 12.04.  We welcome any
 early adopters to please install, test, and let us know your feedback.
