Hello Ubuntu people!

While many are still having their well earned vacations this week,
here's what's happening and what's next.

So far there have been ~20 bug fix landings to the ubuntu-rtm this
year thanks to among else QA working hard through the backlog:
https://lists.canonical.com/archives/rtm-14.09-changes/2015-January/thread.html

The next ubuntu-rtm milestone is planned for next Thursday,
2015-01-15. Deadline for rtm silos to be both ready and upstream
tested is on Tuesday. Please don't rush many landings on Tuesday
though, since otherwise not everything can be QA'd and will not be
included. Monday is much better :)

On the vivid side there have mostly been a lot of general Ubuntu
updates, but big landings like Mir 0.10 and Unity 8 fixes are also
brewing in the landing silos.

In the last days before holidays an upload was made that fixed SDK
vivid target but broke other things. All suggested solutions that
didn't mean breaking SDK again were found suboptimal, but fortunately
today we could revert the offending packaging change thanks to a Click
workaround that keeps also SDK users happy.

This also means we just got the first vivid image of the year #59 to
devel-proposed, enjoy! Proper changelogs are missing for now, but
here's my manually crafted quick overview on #58 -> #59:

More people should be back next week and we'll get back to regular
e-mails and a lot more work being done as well.

Happy New Year!
