[Desktop] Release Meeting 2012-07-27

[Sebastien Bacher]

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

  * Started work on a patch to NM to update dnsmasq via DBus rather than 
respawning it on every DNS server changes
  * Polished some of the session-migration work
  * Worked on the jockey killer (software-center properties integration 
of devices installation)
  * LibreOffice 3.6.0~rc2 released to quantal -- one month earlier than 
our first release a year ago on oneiric
  * Ported BrlTTY python bindings to cython (practically no work 
required other than autotools changes). THis gives us a launchpad to 
ship python 3 bindings for BrlTTY, whichi Orca can use.
  * Tracked down some bugs related to netboot d-i installation on 
pandaboards, however not all bugs have been ironed out yet. All of this 
is a result of me trying to set up quantal on a pandaboard using an 
external USB drive.
  * Unity/Compiz/Compiz-plugins-main SRU tested and uploaded in precise. 
Will like be the 12.04.1 version
  * Work with PS on the compiz gsettings migration. Got a migration 
script ready to migrate most important values from gconf to gsettings.
  * Work on gnome-control-center to support the new values now in 
gsettings in both display and background panels.
  * Start a discussion of what's still needed to do and blocking the 
gsettings compiz upload

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

  * compiz on gsettings (still...)

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

  * No specific list yet for quantal

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

  * Libreoffice still having issues with gcc c11 abi changes in quantal
