I'm absolutely up to my eyeballs in an inherited filter driver and its surrounding architecture for AppSense. Thus, I have 0 time to spend on reactos code right now.
As always though, I'm completely available for general project needs, questions and IRC banter. Apologise for my lack of commits, I wish I could join in again...
Maybe need a development spike. Something motivational.

Great, thanks a lot to all of you who replied (those who don't still need to :)). I'm going to review current problems and compile a list of the next release blockers based on that.
WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

Hello, I'm back from my vacation which took part in Sweden this time (not counting a day passing through Finland). I had a pleasure of meeting Stefan Ginsberg ("Stefan100"), Magnus Olsen ("GreatLord"), Simon and his wife, and of course Jan Kinander ("JaixBly") who drove some hundreds kilometers from his city to meet all of us. I met all those persons for the first time in RL except for Stefan, who I met earlier this year in Brussels.
After a perfectly guided (mostly by Magnus ;)) tour through the Old City (Gamla Stan) in Stockholm, we made the first ReactOS discussion attempt in a very nice cafe at the island where Vasa museum is. We talked mostly about the history of ReactOS project, how I ended up in this project, what were the most problematic moments of its life and development ("Hartmut incident", etc), persons involved in ReactOS at various points in time. After Jan's parking ticked started expiring Simon suggested to move into his office to continue the talk.
We logged in to #reactos from the office, under GreatLord's nickname (it was a very unusual feeling when you type things, hit enter, and it appears as "<GreatLord> ..."), and we all together discussed future ways of ReactOS progress, possible commercial usage, possible support, stability and compatibility as usual, products which could utilize ReactOS and many many more things.
In the end, we shoot a video introducing all this "conference" participants, and it actually shows "Magnus in action" for the first time ever. The video seems rather black, and probably has poor quality (I haven't transferred it to my PC yet) but it should definately be interesting. I will edit it and put on youtube asap.
It was really great to meet all of you!
Now, to the actual development part of the email (why it ended up in ros-dev and not ros-general). After I left, I saw number of commits significantly decreased, and only some 94 commits were done in my absence (roughly 6 per day). Quality matters though, not quantity!
It's time to think about stabilizing what has been done and preparing a new release (without arwinss, if someone wonders).
- Could someone of the testing team please provide me (here) a list
of regressions (with corresponding bug numbers) introduced with recent ARMMM and other changes? 2. What is everyone up to right now, what unfinished work you have, what work you are about to finish, what you want and what you don't want to go to the next release? No need to write time consuming paragraphs of course, just provide a very quick overview / status so I and everyone else has idea what you are doing now and what to expect. 3. What's the most up to date GCC 4.4 status, estimates, problems (bug # would be enough).
Thanks, Aleksey Bragin.
