 Thanks a lot for the offer!  We don't have a very good list of things
 that people can grab, but since you mention you have a beagleboard,
 there are various things which could be done on top.

 - testing our linux-linaro-2.6.35 kernel and u-boot-linaro bootloader
   and reporting any missing features / bugs when compared to other
   distros
 - measuring boot time of the various pieces (x-loader, u-boot, kernel,
   userspace) perhaps breaking each piece open and seeing where time is
   spent in the kernel init; how does NAND boot versus MMC boot compare
   with your MMC?
 - creating a barebox package building a beagleboard version; does it
   have regression over u-boot? (perhaps some fixes which went into
   u-boot are missing?)
 - trying to run MeeGo on top of Linaro
 - packaging linaro-media-create and other scripts into a
   linaro-media-utils package or something similar
 - insert your own idea here!  You might be more of a toolchain person,
   or a graphical applications specialist etc. etc.

 (#linaro if you need some guidance/tips on the above ideas, or followup
 here)

   Cheers,
