A reminder, for the TLs and PMs:

If you have not done so already, please remember to review cards, which
are targeted for 2012Q1, by Wednesday end-of-business and update

1- the engineering status update field
2- if the cards are marked as DEFERRED or DONE without a closeout
section then you should provide that also


You can see all the cards which have a fixVersion 2012Q1 using this JIRA
rapidboard - cards are categorised area by area on the horizontal lanes
http://cards.linaro.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=5&quickFilter=30


Best regards,
Ilias
