manjo    I had submitted a bzr patch making the switch to ubuntu kernel mailing list,
manjo    waiting for tgardner or Keybuk to pick this up.
tgardner    hmm, I think we’re still awaiting some test results
Keybuk    hmm? I don’t do kernel stuff
manjo    tgardner, test results from ?
tgardner    Keybuk, its just a matter of swizzling some blacklists
tgardner    manjo, results from pgraner et al
Keybuk    ah, the old kansas city shuffle
manjo    tgardner, ok
tgardner    how about Luke’s audio supprt changes?
tgardner    wasn’t there an app that needed updating?
manjo    he was going to upgrade some of the audio packages
manjo    and he volunteered to do it
tgardner    manjo, has he done so?
manjo    tgardner, I will check with him again today
tgardner    manjo, once we have a synopsis of resul;ts, then I’ll make the blacklist changes

      lid: interactive lid event detection test.
  Other improvements + fixes:
      klog scanning: use pcre rather than glibc regex.

Status: Maverick

We uploaded a last minute linux-2.6.35-6.8 Alpha2 kernel on Sunday to resolve bug 597904 which was a blocker for building Alpha2 arm images. We will essentially be uploading a 0-day Alpha2 kernel, linux-2.6.35-6.9, to resolve bug 588861. I’ve been given the green light to upload it late Wed. We currently have it uploaded to our kernel-ppa as an interim solution.

All of our team’s Alpha2 work items are complete, so good job everyone. Alpha 3 is Thurs Aug 5th which is a little over a month away. Please review the list of work items for Alpha 3:

abogani2    I would want only inform you that I placed -lowlatency and -realtime kernel on Zinc and in my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa) for review. Ever if anyone have time and chance to do it. ;-)

lag    I’d like to request that the ARM Status item is brought forward i.e. placed nearer the top of the agenda. Otherwise; if the meeting goes on longer than 45-60mins I will be unable to present the item as I have to leave imminently for ‘other things’. :)
bjf    lag, i have no problem with that
bjf    lag, i’ll make it so
lag    I don’t want to tread on anyone’s toes
bjf    lag, it was an arbitrary decision on my part, i can change it
