It might not say that, if the developer chose to commit to the branch instead of letting the package importer do it instead. so I gather the robot usually does the import, and the robot's page says to discuss it here. Other way around, people upload into the archive importer notices it and creates a branch. Branches are not authoritative, the archive is. The freeze just started, though, and I hear this means no more robotic merges. The freeze started for precise 12.04.1 release. The freeze for Quantal is next week. There are no robotic merges.

Ubuntu Release Sprint
Hi, during the last UDS party, I had an idea to improve Ubuntu development, but I didn't know if it could be a good idea or a stupid one, so I talked to Daniel Holbach and David Planella about it and they were happy to hear about it and Daniel told me to talk about this directly to Mark (and I did it). Let's explain the basic idea. From an UDS and the next one, it would be useful to have a development sprint where people can talk about assigned UDS blueprints, at which point they are on their tasks, if they have any problems and if they will finish them within the next UDS. Of course Canonical cannot organize another meeting, it would be very expensive, so the idea is: why don't we use Google Hangout to organize the sprint? I has a limit of 10 people, I know, but we could select (for example) 5 from the community and 5 from Canonical. There would be parallel meeting and tracks, we would use the same blueprints used during the last UDS and we would add further notes. The attendees would be able to listen and watch the stream and make questions through the available chat. I've also created a wiki page with more informations and you can find it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuReleaseSprint What do you think about? I know that Canonical is already organizing sprints and this could be a way to involve more the Ubuntu Community. Maybe we should schedule a session at next UDS to talk about this? I hope to get some feedback from you.

12.04.1 Freeze updates
Dear Developers and Testers, The data center move had a few surprises, and some of you may have noticed we haven't had working image builders today.As a result, the last builds and testing prior to final freeze have been impacted. Fixes to be included in 12.04.1 should still be validated by 2100 UTC and copied into -updates. (original FinalFreeze). To give us time to get the final adjustments made (and builders to get back online and caught up), candidate images for 12.04.1 are targetted to be published on the iso tracker on 8/17. We're pushing out the 12.04.1 Release Note Freeze until 2100 UTC 8/20.

Kubuntu banner for embeding on sites
I would like to publish on my website a banner with the kubuntu logo, and since we don't have one I want to copy the picture with the kubuntu logo from the kubuntu website. Is that ok? Are there any designers among us who can make some banners for this purpose? I really like the new logo design with the 3piece gear. Can someone make some of those? *Ovidiu - Florin Bogdan* ***mob: +40 743-135.018 _* ***I enjoy the massacre of ads.

Ubuntu Release Sprint
I think this is a great idea...
I am not very active in the group but this gives me an opportunity to be
part of the project and start contributing in any fashion I can.. I think
the community IRC support is great but probably we can use the google+
hangouts for that too as we can also share our desktops or documents.. it
makes support more social and personal, and also I think we can engage new
users much better. Using social networks will help market the great world
of open source and linux to a larger audience.
Just my 2 cents on the subject.
Thanks
Rajeev Bhatta

Unity Going Forward
*Hi Everyone - Today is the first day that 'Unity' can be used without confusion on Ubuntu. Unity 2D has been removed as a default option in favor of Unity 3D across the board. This is a work in progress, so bear with us as we sort out the details in the transition. What does this mean? First and foremost, it means we have one codebase going forward. Secondly, it means that that there will be some regressions in use cases where Unity 2D fit in the past. Lastly, it means you should see a unified experience wherever Unity runs. Ever since Unity was introduced there have been slight gaps in the experience between Unity 2D and Unity 3D (forever forward called Unity). With one code base for all form factors we can guarantee a unified experience. One code base also means we should be able to move faster as we don't have to split the effort anymore, further accelerating our pace of innovation. But there is a cost to this decision. Unity 2D fit a very specific use case in very low-end and non-GPU accelerated hardware. By consolidating to Unity using LLVMpipe for this specific use case we expect to see some regressions in systems supported. This means that a certain class of hardware will no longer be supported to run Unity. Unity will run on all GPUs that support OpenGL 2.0. The earliest GPUs that meet this requirement are at least 5 years old[1]. Even so, we know some subset of cards and hardware that could previously run Unity 2D will no longer be able to run Unity. For these cases, we are actively working on Unity running through LLVMpipe which is a work in progress. Unity through LLVMpipe is CPU bound which means systems with decently modern CPU architectures and non-GPU accelerated hardware should be able to run Unity. As I mentioned, this approach is a work in progress as we tweak the experience and effects to maximize the performance. We expect this to shake out over the rest of this cycle and bleed into 13.04 as well[2][3]. Still, with all the above, there will be systems that are simply too old to run Unity. In those cases it would be necessary to either stick with 12.04 LTS or run another desktop environment[4]. We want this transition to go as smoothly as possible and are working on supporting as much hardware as we reasonably can. Hopefully we should have most of the wrinkles worked out by 12.10 release with just a little hangover for 13.04. Thank you, Jason Ubuntu Desktop Manager [1] - Unity will run on GPUs with support for OpenGL 2.0 The earliest GPUs meeting this requirement are at least 5 years old Intel i915 NVIDIA GeForce 5200FX and up (5200, 6xxx, 9xxx, xxxGT(X/S)) ATI Radeon 9000 and up, maybe earlier (9000, X1xxx, HD) By chip series rather than model series: Intel: i915 ATI: R300 chip series Nvidia: NV30 chip series [2] - We know Unity is showing some graphical corruption inside a VM. Work to correct this has been done but not landed yet. [3] - We know Unity won’t work right now on ARM. A solution is being worked on and should be ready shortly, hopefully before feature freeze.
