== Highlights ==
Release-wise the work is getting along fine. Headlines and Acceptance
criteria updated to nearly all blueprints for 1109

In particular:
  - Unity/Nux/Compiz: work is ongoing based on the discussion we have
had to deliver code to Oneiric, working together with the Ubuntu side
and upstream (compiz and nux maintainers are also handling the Ubuntu
branches for Oneiric) - the work has been testing the maintainer's nux
branch, merging our gles branch with oneiric compiz branch, and working
on getting unity using nux framebuffer object

  - glmark2 - Android team integrated glmark2 into panda-leb daily
builds (assisted with some issues). Finished and merged desktop effects
(blur) benchmark. Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/glmark2/+bug/850116
reported, seems to not be a glmark2 issue at least based on the
investigation till now.

  - GLcompbench: reviewed pending merges, work progressing well there,
and changed glcompbench to use glproxy instead of directly linking with
each backend.

  - GLEW: Making ES extensions optional in generic glew lib (which will
contain extensions from both desktop OpenGL and OpenGL ES) and also
glewinfo now gives information on OpenGL ES extensions supported.
>From the UMM side: DMA buffer sharing API RFC v2 to linaro-mm-sig list
