 So, we'll see how things go.

 2 new packages we're looking to get in are rtirq and Pencil (vector
 animation app). We've also dropped Specimen in favor of FontMatrix.

 It's still unclear as to whether or not we'll be going to JACK 2.

 Has there been anything said about having btrfs as an install option? Just 
 curious. 
 
- From the btrfs web page:

Btrfs is under heavy development, and is not suitable for any uses
other than benchmarking and review. The Btrfs disk format is not yet
finalized, but it will only be changed if a critical bug is found and no
workarounds are possible.

One thing that would be nice to have, if it's at all feasible, is
qgtkstyle [1]. It's definitely not a must-have package, but since we
use a few qt4 packages in a gnome environment, this would make the
desktop look a lot more polished. It's been working fine for me for
quite some time. There are packages in my ppa, if anyone feels like
trying.

ffado, on the other hand, is a must-have ;-) And I'm curious on how
things are going with jack-in-main.

And I've been wondering whether it would be a good idea to maintain a
2.6.26-rt kernel, particularly if .28 doesn't turn out too well after
all. We could be joining efforts with 64studio, for example, when it
comes to realtime kernel packaging and maintaining. Judging from one
thread I stumbled into [3], it seems they're aiming for a 2.6.26
kernel.

Regards,
Khash.

The real issue here is hardware suport parity with the generic 2.6.28 kernel in 
jaunty. Users will find that hardware that they have may work with 2.6.28, but 
not with 2.6.26. its also very hard to keep restricted modules/DKMS packages 
working with two different kernel versions as well.

I'd rather we really push for 2.6.28, and again if its not usable, have it as 
an option, but not by default.
