Hi all,
For those of you who are working, or are soon-to-be working, on device tree support for ARM, I'm organizing a regular weekly status update and a hacking day for getting device tree support added to several of the ARM platforms. I've already talked to some of you about this briefly. Basically the idea is to have a day when all of us working on dt can coordinate and get problems solved. I'll commit to being available and focused on answering dt questions for that day so it should be easier to get my help. I'll also put together some documents and guides for dt bringup on new platforms which will break down the features that each platform needs to implement.
For the status update part, rather than scheduling yet another meeting, I think it would be appropriate to tack it onto the end of the Monday kernel working group status update call. I'll dial into both the west (1600UTC) and east (0400UTC-tuesday) calls so that I've got a chance to talk with everyone.. Let me know if you don't have the dial-in details for either of the calls and I'll ask Paul or Loic to add you to the invite.
For the hacking day, how does Tuesday(west)/Wednesday(east) sound for everyone? I'll be available on IRC, and I'll also keep my schedule clear so that I'll be available for phone calls.
Right now, here's the list of people that I know are or may be working on DT support, and the platform they are working on (not exclusively Linaro work):
Lennert Buytenhek (Core infrastructure & omap3) Thomas Abraham (Samsung) John Bonesio (nVidia Tegra) Shawn Guo and Jason Hui (Freescale imx51) Jon Masters (omap3, beagle board)
Anybody else want me to add them to this list?

Hey
- Thomas Abraham working on Samsung DT right now - Jeremy Kerr doing some stuff in his free time - Lennert working on OMAP bits
Needs: - someone to work on low-level core architecture implementation needs; Lennert currently doing this - folks for various SoCs
Potential SoC candidates: - Jason Hui is from Freescale and is currently on some kernel configuration stuff - ST-Ericsson assignees are not too available: Per is busy with SD/MMC stuff and Mian is going away for 5 weeks; maybe Linus from the ST-Ericsson Landing Team - Shawn Guo would be another potential Freescale assignees - TI: Aneesh V could help; Anand and Nishant are busy with Kexec and Storage stuff respectively
Grant should interview Shawn + Jason to brief them; perhaps they could work on two different parts (e.g. u-boot, and kernel).
Grant did a one-liner to enable DT on Tegra in u-boot; will send to try enabling Freescale platforms as well.
Shawn might be able to work on core code, and perhaps even Jason, but not clear.
Would be nice to have someone working on the QEMU side of things as it's really useful.
Loïc will check with Michael Hope about QEMU mentoring and QEMU work.
Arnd would be a good candidate for the kernel side of the ARM DT work (picking up where Lorenzo left it).
Bye

I can help out on testing and continue providing any fixes I find.

Timing is key for me. I can lurk on IRC and poke at stuff, but it's certainly easier "out of hours" as I'm not paid to do any of this :) That said, I can make things fit and I want to be involved. Thanks for reviving this (ARM), and for your many varied dt postings recently.
Jon.

Please count me in for the Monday devtree kernel update as a starting point. Lorenzo Pieralisi (ARM - DT on vexpress and upcoming ARM dev platforms).
Cheers, Lorenzo
