=== What was done engineering wise? ===
This week we uploaded the  3.7.0-7.15 Raring kernel.  It contained misc
bug fixes and config tweaks, but no major rebases.  As noted last week,
we will keep the kernel in the Raring archive on a v3.7 based kernel
until a few upstream v3.8-rc# iterations have passed.  We'll then upload
a v3.8 based kernel and remain on the v3.8 kernel for the remainder of
the Raring cycle.

We also had a fire drill this week getting the Quantal and Precise
kernels in -proposed released ahead of schedule in order to provide some
needed hypervisor updates.  A big thank you to the Release Team, Server
Team, QA Team, and Certification for their cooperation and coordination
in shepherding this through.

=== What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release
as a whole? ===
Nothing at this time.

=== Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items,
release wide concerns? ===
Nothing at this time.
