Linux Boot Architecture coordination meeting

[Grant Likely]

Hi everyone,

Note: I'm sending this directly to everyone on my 'interested
individuals' list, but future traffic will only get sent to the
boot-architecture at lists.linaro.org mailing list.  If you're not
already, and would like to stay in the loop, please subscribe to the
list.

Given the feedback I've received so far, I'm going to tentatively
schedule the meeting for Friday, July 5, at the end of the Linaro
platform sprint.  I'll post some more detail about what needs to be
done between now and then early this week.

I'd also like to set up a bi-weekly conference call.  I'll try to
schedule it in the afternoon(europe)/morning(north america) to play
nice with everyone's schedule.  Right now I'm considering scheduling
it on Wednesdays, but I'm open to suggestions.

Cheers,
g.
