He spent this week fixing blocker bugs for the next release, doing a lot of triage and several patch reviews. He implemented an improved logic handling new windows in the Browse activity, which, while not yet ideal, should allow all the web sites that Uruguay has had problems with to work correctly. Marco also tracked down and fixed an infinite loop in the shell. Finally, with Tomeu Vizoso, he solved a problem with the web widget size allocation, which is likely to have caused several problems.+ + + + + + + + + + − + − − Simon has been implementing a mechanism for feedback from 'Register' process in the form of an alert that is displayed in the Home view. − − 14.

11. Buildbot: Marco Pesenti Gritti reports that we are running periodic builds of Sugar using the buildbot automation system. Full builds, which starts every time from a clean source and installation tree, are run every 12 hours. Quick builds, which are built incrementally from the last build source and installation tree, are run every two hours. The status of the builds is available through a web interface and failures are notified to the development mailing list (Please see [[DevelopmentTeam/Buildbot]]). Thanks to http://www.prgmr.com/ for hosting the buildbot for us.
Next steps:
* Setup other Linux distributions (does anyone want to work on an Ubuntu "slave"?);
* Make the check step succeed (several pylint warnings to address);
* Automated testing (maybe we can start integrating bits of Zach work?);
* Enable mail notification on failures.
