=== Foundations ===
General status:
 * Voip Mic input feature to land in the sound menu -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu#Microphone%20volume%20item
 * Sound menu goes into libunity, consolidating new stable APIs
 * Calendar integration from EDS
 * More appmenu stabilization and fixes
 * Thunderbird support for the global menu is in Natty (after Firefox last week, yeah!)
 * LibreOffice globalmenu support started this week: aiming for a universe release around natty-beta
 * More API docs preparation with the Community team


Milestoned Features for alpha-2:

=== QA ===
General status:
 * Bug Pilot program starting to bear fruits

Related blueprints
 * https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/hardware-dx-n-unity-testing (not started (see above))
 * https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-dx-n-unity-testing

Of note:
 * New test GL-capable test machine connected to our build infrastructure		  * Further Unity Foundations fixes
 * The main problem at this stage is one that goes out of the foundations scope: CJK support in the xapian indexer used by: Software Center, apt-xapian and unity-place-applications. The result is that asian users can't search for apps in Unity (nor SC it sesms) - tracked as bug [[Bug:745243]]
