15:42 <Sweetshark> - merged upstream memory management work, had fun with regression due to changes on master after the patch was pushed to review
15:42 <Sweetshark> (CI of change green, master green, merge red)
15:42 <Sweetshark> - backups and slowly decommissioning my trusty Lenovo W520 (and along with it: "The Brick" as you affectionally called its 170W power supply)
15:42 <Sweetshark> - setup of shiny new Lenovo T460s. Some issues: Disabled TPM for install, still couldnt boot from 16.04.2 USB-CD, tried to boot 16.04.2 USB-Stick: failed with ",,, kernel: invalid parameter", finally succeeded setting up from a 16.10 USB stick

15:43 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:43 <willcooke> * Finally tracked down the at-spi race condition, or what I thought was a race condition. See bug 1670933.
15:43 <willcooke> * Continued debugging of the installer in xenial not working properly with orca on some pages. I think it may have something to do with main loops being started/stopped, something we had a problem with before, but was solved at the time.
15:43 <willcooke> * Spent time getting more acquainted with at-spi internals, in preparation for writing a cross-desktop/freedesktop spec to deal with assistive technology input event processing.
