15:42 <Laney> need to run downstairs quickly /o\
15:42 <Laney> thanks
15:42 <Laney> • I worked on a branch for appstream-dep11 that fixes packages not appearing in the release when they migrate out of proposed
15:42 <Laney> • Looked at some FFes including ones I was pinged about
15:42 <Laney> • Gave some advice on icon stuff for appstream - there are a few requests that need attention in the sponsor queue now
15:42 <Laney> • Looked at some live CD bugs which both turned out to be introduced by the new glibc /o\
15:42 <Laney> • Helped Gunnar with some yelp fixes & did some investigation there
15:42 <Laney> • New gvfs, glib (this build hangs on s390x, not sure why, so it's stuck in xenial-proposed), gstreamer
15:42 <Laney> • Gave some maybe not so helpful help with gnome-terminal theming
15:42 <Laney> ἧ
15:43 <willcooke> :) thanks Laney
