== Outstanding actions from last meeting ==
* Sebastien to initiate a discussion about shares-admin ->
nautilus-share upgrade migration with slangasek on u-devel@
''Discussion was fruitful, while a migration isn't possible slangasek
was happy with documenting that in the release notes given that the
change to nautilus-share will be sufficiently more maintainable''
* Sebastien to prepare theme change back to ubuntulooks
''Done by kwwii and mvo''
* Sebastien to rename the tracker menu item
''Deferred most changes to next release, except for transmission
which pitti raised as really needing changing''
* Ken to look into updating important bits of example-contents for
Hardy, primarily release name
''Still outstanding''
== Actions from this meeting ==
* Ken to look into updating important bits of example-contents for
Hardy, primarily release name
* pitti to disable gvfs libgphoto backend
* seb128 to enable gvfs libarchive backend
* mvo and pitti to review the /etc diff and file bugs where
appropriate.
== gvfs libgphoto backend ==
gvfs's libgphoto backend allows you to access non-storage based cameras
as if they were a mounted storage device; gvfs-based applications can
browse the photos on them as if they were files.
Unfortunately it's somewhat buggy at the moment, pitti asked whether we
should keep it and try and fix the bugs, or whether we should disable it
for now and review in intrepid.
This was discussed pre-meeting with seb128 and the conclusion was to
disable it for now and use f-spot-import until it's ready.
== gvfs libarchive backend ==
gvfs's libarchive backend allows you to access archives (e.g. zip) as if
they were folders. It's installed but not yet activated, and when
actived only provides a "Mount Archive" option in the context menu for
the icon. seb128 asked whether we should activate it. Since it's not
directly exposed, it would be relatively harmless.
No objections were raised.
== /etc diff for upgrades ==
http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/automatic-upgrade-testing/kvm/profile/lts-ubuntu/etc.diff
contains a 5.2 MB diff of changes between dapper and hardy, and a fresh hardy
install.
This needs review and co-ordination of fixes.
== Activity reports ==
=== Jonathan Riddell (Riddell) ===
Done:
* KDE 4.0.3 packaged and uploaded

Next week:
* Lots of bugfixes. Ubiquity seems to have stopped launching on the

1 milestoned bug 209220, which isn't going to get fixed for hardy, not
yet sure how to remove the milestone.

ubuntu-gdm-theme, human-theme; (adding icons, tweaking artwork, moving
back to ubuntulooks with new gtkrc w/ GUI editable colors, fixing bugs

Unfixed milestoned bugs (only on hardy final):

needs to happen close to release
* 210348 (apport-cli test with no package): new from this week, will do
