be fixed by FinalFreeze (Bug:637659)

  * RoAkSoAx to email ubuntu server mailing list with update of  
cluster stack progress
   * Work wasn't completed yet, but expected this week

==== Topic: Maverick develoment ====

  * Very little development going on in this part of the cycle. It's  
now about bug fixes, testing and stabilization
  * Critical issues for release are listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MaverickReleaseStatus
   * No red flags for release identified
   * Bug:582963 requires upstrart/plymouth expertise and may not be  
fixable by release

==== Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) ====

  * hggdh is spending a lot of time on Eucalyptus testing, but things  
are looking up
  * A mail will be sent to -devel about the new way of handling  
regression-* tags on bugs

==== Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen)  
====

  * Bug:621175 (-virtual kernel contains too many modules) was closed  
but then re-opened recently. jjohansen will investigate if action is  
needed.
  * Bug:634316 (include amazon EBS performance patch in -virtual  
kernel) will likely be applied to the Maverick kernel. Lucid will  
probably not see this patch.

==== Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the Documentation Team  
(sommer) ====

  * Sommer is happy about the server guide quality and there are no  
outstanding reviews at this point

==== Topic: Open discussion ====

  * Mathias asked if it's indeed sane to drop the Hadoop packages we  
sync from Debian and only offer the Cloudera ones. Consensus was yes,  
as the Debian Hadoop packages don't currently work and not even it's  
author recommends them.

==== Topic: Announce next meeting date and time ====

  * Tuesday 2010-09-21 at 1800 UTC - #ubuntu-meeting
