Meeting this week

[Brendan Donegan]

Alex,

Having such a 'bug' lying around isn't useful, so I closed it as 
invalid. I agree we should discuss this issue of third-party software 
breaking and you're right that it has echoes of Ubuntu Friendly/Hardware 
Certification (you could say we need a type of 'Software Certification' 
as well as 'Hardware Certification')

I note that the bug reporter didn't offer the name of the commercial 
software which broke for them as well, which isn't helpful.
