Hello again,
The next Linaro Plan Review will be the Foundations/Developer
Platform call, which will run tomorrow at 15:00 UTC, Tuesday, November
15th. Details on the calls are here:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/1105/PublicPlanReview
Again, ask me if you have any further questions about the calls, and
otherwise see you there. Below is the original announcement with further
details on the reviews:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello there,
Starting next Monday, Linaro tech leads will be running a set of
public phone calls to announce the official plans for each of our
engineering units. Calls are daily at 15:00 UTC, and there are local and
free dial-in numbers for most countries around the world. The schedule
and details are listed here:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/1105/PublicPlanReview
The objective of these calls is to communicate and clarify the plan for
each of our engineering units. Each unit will provide a set of slides
discussing features planned and the blueprints that specify and track
them. Anyone in the wider ARM or embedded Linux community is invited to
come and you're welcome to extend this offer to your contacts.
These calls are open to the general public; anybody is welcome to dial
in and listen. Questions can be asked via IRC using #linaro-meeting on
Freenode; details on how to access IRC itself are also linked to from
that page.
Calls will also be recorded and available for later perusal. I'll send
out a daily reminder of the calls so you won't miss them if you keep an
eye out for the messages.
Thanks and see you there!

Hi,
The Linaro team is pleased to announce the release of Linaro 10.11.
10.11 is the first public release that brings together the huge amount
of engineering effort that has occurred within Linaro over the past 6
months. In addition to officially supporting the TI OMAP3 (Beagle
Board and Beagle Board XM) and ARM Versatile Express platforms, the
images have been tested and verified on a total of 7 different platforms
including TI OMAP4 Panda Board, IGEPv2, Freescale iMX51 and ST-E U8500.
The advances that have happened in this cycle are numerous but include a
completely rebuilt archive using GCC 4.4.4 and the latest ARM optimised
tool chain, the Linux kernel version 2.6.35, support for
cross-compiling, a new hardware pack way of building images, 3D
acceleration improvements, u-boot enhancements and initial device tree
support, a new QA tracking structure, the list goes on. For a full
break-down of what was scheduled for the 10.11 release please see:
http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/1011/Blueprints
Thanks to everyone involved who made this happen. Here's looking forward
to a sucessful 11.05 release.
To get Linaro 10.11
-------------------
The 10.11 release can be found at:
http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/headless/final/
and when combined with a hwpack from:
http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/hwpacks/final/
using the instructions from:
http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/MilestoneBuilds
a installable image is produced.
For any errata issues please see:
http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/1011/Final#Issues
Bug reports for this release should be filed in Launchpad against the
individual packages that are affected, if a suitable package cannot be
identified, feel free to assign them to:
http://www.launchpad.net/linaro
The team has also produced 3 other non-supported images as part of a
community effort, they are:
* ALIP
* http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/alip/final/
* EFL based netbook
* http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/netbook/final/
* KDE based plasma handset
* http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/plasma/final/
These need to be combined with a hardware pack as above.
Next Steps
----------
Engineering effort has already started on the 11.05 cycle. For more
information on what Linaro will be doing this cycle please see:
