[Edubuntu] Release Meeting 2012-08-31

[Stéphane Graber]

=== What was done engineering wise? ===

 * A few LTSP fixes to fix installation and switch back to 24bit color
depth as compiz over llvmpipe is completely broken when in 16bit mode
 * Update the installer slideshow

=== What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release
as a whole? ===

 * Nothing

=== Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) ===

 * Nothing particularly worth mentioning here.

=== Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items,
release wide concerns? ===

@Desktop/PS team
 * Dropping unity-2d and using unity with llvmpipe doesn't work at all
on 16bit X and performance is horrible when running in 24bit mode over
the network.

   This essentially breaks LTSP completely and as it's today, I'm going
to have to use another desktop environment for the 12.10 release as
unity is killing both the server and the client.

   A possible way around the problem would be to drop a lot of features
(fading, complex blur, ...) when on llvmpipe AND implement support for
indirect rendering, allowing accelerated video over the network, at
least for Intel.

   LTSP being in main and used by some of Canonical's customers, I can't
simply make the choice of using gnome-session-fallback instead of unity
starting with 12.10, so something needs to happen there...
