=== What was done engineering wise? ===
This week we rebased the Quantal kernel to the latest v3.5-rc5 upstream Linux
kernel and uploaded.  We also uploaded this to the **ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport
PPA to facilitate testing of the 12.10 kernel in 12.04.  Please test and let us know
your results.

We've also recently uploaded the linux-ti-omap4-3.4.0-3.8 kernel.  Primary changes
included homogenization of config options and misc bug fixes.  This is currently still
in the quantal-proposed pocket and needs copied to the release pocket.

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