Team updates

Packaging & Development

• Included the new default wallpaper (still missing the full-sized second one though)
• Fixed another bug in garcon, related to monitoring (Xfce #7423).
• Included a patch from upstream git to fix a workspace size issue in xfce4-display-settings.
• Restored the default blue for the alternative installer, instead of the aubergine that actually looks pink in all terms I tested (only gnome-terminal is fine).
• Imported gmb 1.1.7 + shimmer patches.
• micahg has uploaded xfce4-mixer 4.8.0 (but I didn't have time to check)

Bug Triage & Testing

• We have the beta1 release next week. Any testing is really appreciated.

Website & Marketing

• Still waiting on canonical to set up wordpress.
• Suggestion from ochosi - it would be great if the first page would show the slideshow that is shown during installation.

Carried Forward

Please see the previous log

Xubuntu Governance

• The governancy part of the current Strategy Document can be found at Xubuntu/StrategyDocument#Xubuntu Governance & Team Structure

• The Xubuntu project will advance towards a Council-based governance approach.

The Xubuntu Council

• The Council size should be 5 members, with one of them being the PL.
• PL will have a vote in every voting in the Council, not just as a tie-breaker.
• The 4 members in the Council in addition to the PL should be selected by the existing Xubuntu Contributors.
• The appropriate Team Lead can be the tiebreaker in a vote, but only if PL is absent.
• The council should *aim* to have balanced membership across the different aspects/teams of Xubuntu.
• The council should be named/selected after every LTS release. Thus, every season lasts for 2 years.
