Gentlemen,

I'd like to describe project's infrastructure so that you'd be able to start using it.

PROJECT SOURCE REPOSITORY

We're using GitHub project [https://github.com/Linaro/OpenCSD] for tracking sources for OpenCSD. In order to get commit rights for that repository I need to know your user ids. So far only Tor and Al have provided me their names (and were added to the project group). As soon as you get yourselves added to the project, you should be able to commit your code into the repository. For that you need to clone it locally using [git@github.com:Linaro/OpenCSD.git].

So, Mike, please go to GitHub [https://github.com/join], create a new user for yourself and let me know the user id.

If you don't feel yourself fluent enough with Git - please take a look at ProGit online book [https://progit.org/].

PROJECT DOCUMENTATION

We're using GitHub wiki [https://github.com/Linaro/OpenCSD/wiki] for project related documentation. Please use it as the primary location for that purpose. You can also do that using git and your favorite editor by cloning its repository [git@github.com:Linaro/OpenCSD.wiki.git]

PROJECT COMMUNICATIONS

1. Mailing List

Traditionally project mailing list is the major communication tool for almost any open community project. We also have a mailing list that is available for this project as well as other CoreSight related discussions [https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/coresight]. Please use it for all the technical discussions around OpenCSD. It's archive will help people joining later so please invest in project future by using its mailing list.

2. IRC

While mailing list is a proper way of communication in a typical community project, having other, more realtime means of communication does help a lot. For this purpose we're using IRC channel named #linaro-coresight which is located on freenode IRC network [http://freenode.net/]. Please note that freenode also offers a web-based IRC client, which might be useful for the cases when you can't use your standard setup. Using web-based IRC client as a main option is highly discouraged.

Depending on your OS and habits I'd recommend using XChat [http://xchat.org/] for MS Windows and GUI Linux, and weechat [https://weechat.org/] for terminal under Linux. I'm using the latter one as I prefer terminal apps.

Let's have a weekly syncup meeting on IRC to discuss the progress, issues and synchronize our efforts. I'm proposing to have it on Wednesdays, on Wednesdays at 17:00 +0000 (London time) on #linaro-coresight IRC channel. I've sent an invitation for that meeting starting from the next week.

Please let me know your IRC nicknames when you set your clients up - I'll list those on a team page on project wiki. My IRC nickname is "ototo".
