[Desktop] Release Meeting 2012-02-24

[Martin Pitt]

== What was done engineering wise? ==

 * Land Unity 5.4 with HUD and many bug fixes.
 * Got first LibreOffice build on armhf, many thanks to Jani Monoses for working on the patches! This resolved almost all of the remaining armhf uninstallability, the rest is not much of a concern for beta-1.
 * Land Activity-log-manager for better controlling zeitgeist.
 * Write and land script to debug/report power usage drains.
 * Review and land Evan's Apport GUI rewrite and whoopsie-daisy support.
 * Land Unity Greeter with keyboard indicator, startup sound, and multi-monitor support
 * Land the rest of ALSA 1.0.25.
 * Wrap up desktop-p-multi-monitor work. Most of the remaining issues are lower priority Unity or Gnome issues. There are a couple X issues which we'll follow up on. Unity still has some glitchy behaviors but multi-head works a lot better in precise than it did in oneiric.
 * The new nvidia-current 295.20 is available in the xorg-edgers PPA for precise, and x-updates PPA for earlier Ubuntu versions. 

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

Nothing planned for beta-1.

== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items ==

None.

== Release targetted bugs being worked on/monitored ==

Good progress this week, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/ReleaseStatus#rcbugs for details.

No deal breakers for beta-1, but still quite a large number of good opportunities for precise final.

== New Desktop Release Notes ==

The HUD deserves a release note. Need to coordinate with DX to craft a proper release note.
