[Desktop] Release Meeting 2012-06-08

[Sebastien Bacher]

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

  * firefox and thunderbird 13 have been updated for all supported 
ubuntu series, work started for the next versions in quantal
  * Libreoffice 3.6.0-beta1 is getting ready for quantal (in a ppa for 
the moment)
  * Update Manager got a slightly new look, more to come in the future
  * GNOME 3.5 updates in quantal
  * The team continued on merges and python3 porting
  * The system compositor work is seeing some good progresses
  * Unity build issues on quantal are being investigate (the build issue 
have fixes available but unity,nux segfaults when building with the new 
gcc, that's being investigated)
  * Some SRUs for precise

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

  * GTK 3.5 should be uploaded to quantal soon (blocked on the themes 
(unico) to be updated to work with it), out of the fact that it's a new 
GTK serie there is no known issue though

=== 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? ===

  * The libreoffice 3.5.4 SRU for precise is ready for a week but 
blocked on SRU team <-> TB discussions (the SRU team says that such 
updates don't qualify for SRU without a MRE and the MRE request which 
has been sent to the TB didn't really see lot of action yet) ... not 
sure how to unblock the situation but the update fixes several important 
bugs including data lost ones so it would be nice to get out to precise 
users.
