=== What was done engineering wise? ===
This week we rebased the Quantal kernel to the latest v3.5-rc7 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.

=== What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release as a whole? ===
We are anticipating an upstream v3.5-rc8 release.  If it lands in time for Quantal
Alpha-3 we intend to rebase and upload.  Otherwise we'll wait to after Alpha-3.

The Canonical kernel team has also been sprinting this week.  Given the projected
upstream release dates for v3.5 and v3.6, we are still discussing if we'll stick
with a v3.5 based kernel for Quantal or move to v3.6.  We'll be sure to keep everyone
posted on a final decision.
