=== What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release
as a whole? ===
So quite some dxteam features didn't land on time and will need to go
through FFe:
Those are landing shortly after beta freeze:
* Webapps
* Firefox extension should land after beta 1 pending
FFe<https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040313>https://launchpad.net/bugs/1040313
* libunity-webapps FFe for package installation
supporthttps://launchpad.net/bugs/1043461
Those are aiming to land after beta1, mostly pending from PS:
* remote login work tracked in https://launchpad.net/bugs/1040221
* gwibber lens work
* firefox integration for webapp (finally acked by mozilla)
* llvmpipe improvements
* stategy for low end machines and arm installs
* one workspace by default
We are as well fixing some missing FFe/UIE from PS.
=== Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) ===
* Mostly monitoring and helping PS to track their most important bugs:
* gsettings ones:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bugs?field.tag=gsettings
* resorting the desktop/dx bug list tracked by the release team:
http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-q-incoming-bug-tasks.html
* [power]: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in
gnome_rr_screen_get_dpms_mode(): http://launchpad.net/bugs/1045662 Good
progress by mterry, confirming it's fixed in progress.
=== Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items,
release wide concerns? ===
* foundation's XDG_RUNTIME_DIR support didn't land
