[Oliver Grawert]

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

* all the brits celebrated their monarchism, so many of us had a short
week
* A1 image tests and fixes were done by many of us
* ARM kernels have shown plenty of bugs that need fixing before A2
* Fix for python3-dbus bug which was making the installer crash when
connecting to wifi
* lots of LXC work
* New roles for product management and testcase management as well as a
new buginstruction text field were added to the isotracker additionally
to UI work
* planning for how we can get the kernel crash collecting work finished
and reporting to errors.ubuntu.com.
* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker/Debugging has a whoopsie guide
now
* New WUBI for 12.10
* performance improvements for errors.u.c
* discovery of a lingering startup issue with rpcbind/statd/nis; fix in
progress (bug #1007293)
* autofs merge is in progress, some patches accepted into debian
* foundations-q-ubiquity-lvm-luks saw some work and should be
preseedable now
* Fix for ubiquity bug 1003443 which was breaking automatic tests.
* syslinux-themes-ubuntu-quantal package was added to fix Chinese
edition image builds.
* An API client for removing packages from the archive was written,
alongside the old shell-access-only script was killed.
* investigation into the fix for bug 346386 not working in Precise
* lots of fixes to the bug handling scripts (search-bugs,
lp-bug-dupe-props saw fixes and a new "lp-bug-dupe-props" was added to
lptools)
* py3 porting: lazr.authorization, wsgi_intercept, oauth, httplib2
(issue 210), lazr.restfulclient

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

nothing atm, the python3 vsprint should rather fix things than break
them :)

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

bug 346386 (quite old apt bug, seems brian found a fix)
bug 529714 (one of the highest duplicate counts) has been worked on to
be split up into a more workable bugset

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

* waiting for mockups from mpt for the luks ubiquity integration

== Other notices from foundations ==

The virtual python3 porting sprint the foundations team will hold from
June 11 to 13 is next week !!!
