The idea of this new group has gained enough traction such that we have decided to run multiple sessions at Connect. Before we can start to plan the sessions however, we need to gain a better idea of interested parties. So, who and in what capacity do people wish to participate?
What is the SoC Technology Group (STG)?
Broadly speaking it's a splinter/pseudo group of technical engineers from each applicable Working Group. Although it could easily contain members from Platform, Infrastructure and/or Landing Teams. The primary role of the STG would be to enable feature sets being produced by the Working Groups on each of our supported boards. This team will focus heavily on the upstream kernel.
(Having said what I did in the past email about not going forward with the creation of an STG unit, I'm +1 on us doing a cross-team experiment at Connect to discuss STG-related issues, produce a work plan and even kill some work items as part of it. If there is demand and interest, I promise to chip in and help coordinate.)
