Hi All,
I want to bring to your attention some important logistic points around the
Developer Summit in Budapest from 9 - 13 May (
https://wiki.linaro.org/Events/2011-05-LDS)
1. Please register your attendance now:
https://forms.canonical.com/udsreg/ . I'd like you to do this even if you
haven't yet booked your flights and so on, as we're using this attendee list
to drive a lot of our planning for the week
2. You must make a room reservation at the hotel before* 8 April* to
benefit from our discounted rates, and to ensure you're staying where all
the action is happening (
https://wiki.linaro.org/Events/2011-05-LDS#Hotel%20Booking)
3. Bookmark https://wiki.linaro.org/Events/2011-05-LDS and check it
regularly, as we will grow the amount of information there to explain what's
happening and how to get the most out of the Summit as we get closer to May
(I'll also send periodic e-mails to update you all)

Hi all!
Web browsing is one of the most common and important activities
performed on modern consumer mobile devices. As such, it receives
special attention in our benchmarking blueprint.
In order to have reproducible and automatic benchmarking for web
browsing, we need to acquire graphics traces for browsing sessions that
can be played back at a later time. Both cairo (used in Gecko and
WebkitGtk) and Qt provide mechanisms for performing graphics operation
capture and playback.
Unfortunately, due to copyright restrictions, we are only able to
redistribute traces captured from websites that license their content
under a Free license.
We have set up a wiki page that contains a preliminary list of websites
that we can use in this way:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Graphics/Docs/WebsiteTraces
Please feel free to add any other websites that are suitable for this
purpose.
Furthermore, to assist with website trace capture we have created a set
of tools that load and scroll a set of webpages using the most common
rendering engines. There is currently support for Gecko, WebkitGtk and
QtWebkit. These tools may prove useful for other groups, too. You can
find more information in the wiki page linked above.
Thanks,
Alexandros

Enclosed you'll find a link to the agenda, minutes and actions from the
Linaro Toolchain working group weekly meetings of Feb 21, 2011.
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/Meetings/2011-02-21
== Summary ==
* FSF Copyright assignment is now in place
* GCC 4.6 build and test complete, pushed an updated to the bzr branch, the
branch is now up to mainline state as of the 12th.
* Submitted PR46178, PR46002 patches the first already approved and
committed.
* Tracked down the problem causing serial console to break: the new Linux
driver uses some extra features of the UART which we weren't modelling.
* Merged, reviewed and submitted many patches related to correctness.
* Investigating developer tools: looked into what people use, looked into
alternatives to ltrace as it has issues on many platforms. latrace looks
quite good on ARM.
* Implemented missing epoll syscalls for qemu usermode and submitted
upstream
* Identified root cause of GDB problems running on Versatile Express in SMP
mode, and verified that Errata workaround fixes the problem
* Finished testing GDB HW watchpoints patch on vexpress, submitted complete
patch set for mainline inclusion
* Will provide a patch to override some string routines in Ubuntu, and then
consider pushing elsewhere
* Looking at Versatile Express QEMU to get Linaro kernel booting

Mounir
