== What was done engineering wise? ==

 * Blueprint drafting and approval fully complete last Monday; work items for everyone individually as well as the total number of work items are below or at the computed/agreed limit.
 * Unity (and related projects) tarmac/branch autolanding is now in effect. First actual tests are in place, although not a lot yet, and the Unity ones are currently failing.
 * Unity manual test plan started, making good progress. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnityTests)
 * Landed Apport client-side crash signature/duplicate detection.
 * It has been decided to go with Rhythmbox as default music player now, and reevaluate the state of Banshee-GTK3 between alpha-3 and beta-1.
 * Ported session-installer to GTK 3 and dropped gnome-codec-install, getting rid of some old libraries.
 * Landed new Zeitgeist, now written in Vala instead of Python. Brings some nice speedups.

== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ==

 * Nothing planned right now.
 * After alpha-1 we'll switch to Rhythmbox and drop Tomboy/gbrainy from the CDs.

== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items ==

 * Nothing right now.
