== What was done engineering wise? ==

 * Installer
  - Reactive work based on ISO testing feedback, released two ubiquity
versions during the week with various bugfixes
  - Triaging and prioritizing the next installer bugs.
  - Started looking at why preseeding doesn't work with oem-config

 * Networking
  - Blogged about the changes to DNS in 12.04:
http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/
  - More resolvconf fixes

 * Archive / Release work
  - Tested and released 12.04 LTS beta1, thanks to everyone involved!
  - cdimage and debian-cd tweaks for ARM images and kubuntu-active
  - filed tickets with IS for buildd precise upgrades
  - Fixed ac100 image to no longer include the ubiquity kde frontend.

 * Toolchain
  - gcc work. gcc-4.6.3~rc1 packaging, cherry pick from Linaro, ...
  - investigated qtwebkit-source build failures on ARM

 * Upstart
  - Looking into bug 940290 (console log consumes fds upon job
restart/respawn)

 * Other
  - Wrote a new queuebot, currently running in #ubuntu-release
  - bug bot fix for no package bugs without a SourcePackage line in
the bug description

== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ==

 * I'll try to spend some time converting isc-dhcp to upstart so that
we finally can run the IPv4 and IPv6 services at the same time. I'll
file a Feature Freeze exception for it.
   This might need an apparmor profile update (though it seems to
already cover this case) and maybe some checks on the server team side.

== Release Notes ==

 * Nothing this week

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

 * Installer bugs are now the biggest focus
 * The usual set of new toolchain/upstart/update-manager/python
related bugs.

== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items ==

Nothing that I'm aware of.

== Issues? ==

Tracked down bug 939450 to a gtk regression, it's a pretty important
bug for the installer, Luke from the desktop team is working on it.
