the team may be working on.
If you would like to reach the Foundations team, you can find us at the

Highlights
* Updated cloud images have been released with fix for CVE-2017-7533
* https://github.com/OddBloke/jenkins-job-linter has been released, to lint
jenkins-job-builder output
The State of the Archive
* After no small amount of effort, the perl 5.26 and gcc-7 transitions
migrated to artful on the 10th, unblocking many of the packages that had
been stuck in -proposed.
* As GCC 7 is now the default compiler in artful, the build failures
reported at
https://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/rebuilds/test-rebuild-20170706-gcc7-artful.h
tml now apply to 17.10. Please help us resolve these failing packages for
the release.
* Next in line we have the Qt 5.9 transition. Look for more news about
this next week!
Upcoming Ubuntu Dates
* 17.10 Feature Freeze - August 24, 2017
