With the new timezone spread, it makes sense to reevalulate when that meeting
should be held. The spread looks like this:

Agreement was that '''1600 UTC''' was a suitable time, due to the clash with
the managers meeting, the meeting day will be moved to '''Tuesday'''.
There will be no team meeting from next week due to the release, so the next
meeting will be on '''Tuesday November 4th at 1600UTC'''.
== Hardy Langpack Update ==
pitti raised the issue that the current hardy language packs still break
firefox translations, the Firefox scripts are fixed byt Launchpad forgot to
export the latest templates. This can be worked around with a manual upload
for the time being.
* asac to help ArneGoetje perform a manual upload
* asac to talk to infinity to find out why Launchpad is breaking firefox
langpacks
== Activity reports ==
=== Alexander Sack (asac) ===
* ubufox release work
* coordinate final call for intrepid translations with saivaan;
provide help on integrating and testing those submissions; do
final sign-off tests for all translations and integrate them into
ubufox upstream branch.
* fix RC bug LP: #259914 - prefs in ubufox extension override system
prefs
* release ubufox 0.6 final, prepare packaging branch and upload to
intrepid
* NM release work
* prepare/upload upstream snapshots: NM, applet and vpn plugins
* cherry-picking individual upstream translation commits and upload
to intrepid
* discuss ath5k regression bugs on various channels
* identified a bug/hardy-intrepid-regression in ifupdown plugin that
probably contributes to the general unmanaged/managed mode
confusion (LP: #279262); prepared a first fix and uploaded to
PPAs; Next: get QA/RM to decide whether we want this in
intrepid-final or want to do an early-SRU instead.
* mozilla release work
* fix about:rights page for intrepid.
* bug work
* doing a lot of NEW bug processing for network-manager and firefox
to catch eventual new last minute regressions.
* community work
* various discussions in #ubuntu-mozillateam about various things
surrounding the final release
* support community on reviving the firefox 3 backporting branch for
gutsy
* discuss thoughts about future of NM in debian/ubuntu with debian
maintainer
* discuss release of nm 0.7 final upstream. emphasized that it would
be better to start final release polishing _now_ instead of
starting yet another round of refactoring; Maintainer mostly
agreed, but only future can tell ;)
=== Arne Goetje (ArneGoetje) ===
* iso testing for intrepid
* testing scim/scim-bridge in Ubuntu and Kubuntu, communicating with upstream
for scim-bridge to reproduce the bug reports in LP for scim-bridge and try to
solve them.
* approving translation templates in the import queue for Rosetta
* several discussions with Jeroen Vermeulen about Rosetta and our current
problems.
=== Bryce Harrington (bryce) ===
* Assisted Alex upstream with testing for a more comprehensive solution
to several related -ati dithering issues. Due to the size/scope of
the patch and that the issues it fixes are cosmetic, this may be left
to jaunty.
* Recoded xserver rethrow-signals patch. The signal handler has
multiple exit paths. The abort()'s the earlier patches converted into
raise(signo)'s prevously actually don't get triggered that often. The
exit path that *does* get triggered more typically has its abort()
deeper down; this patch builds a new path that lets the signo be
passed down to the abort().
* Reviewed/retriaged/closed a bunch of targeted and milestoned bugs
to narrow the list for the release.
* Met with cworth and njh for breakfast to discuss 2geom/cairo/inkscape
stuff, release plans, etc.
* Sponsoring queue 1hr (mainly old bug cleanup work)
70566, 181948, 206280, 243425, 251475
* Triaged Inkscape's Ubuntu crash bugs
* Closed numerous rc bugs, sponsored uploads, packaged patches, etc. in
support of release
* Welcome-to-team call w/ keybuk and pitti
* Composed top-13 list of launchpad bugs I'd love to see fixed

Fix waiting in UNAPPROVED
* 269651 (console-kit-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in g_str_hash()) - James has
