Returning from a week of vacation followed by Linux Plumbers Conf, so this contains bits from this week and last. Its good to be home!
=== Highlights === * Attended Linux Plumbers & presented my BOF on (K)Config fragments
* Sent out patches described in my BOF to lkml for review & feedback.
* At Plumbers, discussed wakelock alternative idea with Rafael J. Wysocki (PM Maintainer), Amit Kucheria, Mark Gross (Intel) and others.
* Met up with Mark Gross in Portland to further discuss his ideas for wakelock alternatives. Reviewed his initial prototype, and started some off-list email discussions with other pm folks.
* Started prototyping my own wakelock alternative approach (very early stages).
* Added SCHED_MC to Linaro+Android defconfigs
* Updated and pushed Linaro+Android tree for 11.09
* My 3.1 queue of fixes for RTC/AlarmTimers was merged into mainline
* My 3.2 queue of alarmtimer fixes has been merged into -tip
=== Plans === * Continue working on wakelock alternative prototyping and discussions
* Discuss config fragment tooling patches.
=== Issues === * Getting a cold.

Great! So how did this go?

Have you checked with anyone on the Google team to get really really early feedback?

Happy to see these merged! Good job -- and remember to superdose the vitamin C when you travel ;-)

Reasonably well. I was scheduled for 8pm on the night that fend-for-yourself dinner, so not easy to get an audience. But I did have a handful of folks show up, and had some good discussions with folks from Windriver, as well as a PhD student who is looking at Kconfig issues from a very formal point of view. There were no objections to what I'm trying to push (its not really *that* interesting in the end), but we'll see how the community reacts.
Oh, and I still need to post the slides/notes somewhere. I'll try to get to that this week.

Not yet. Mark is working on getting a prototype with demo applications up and running, and once that is done and it is shown to work, he plans to get some wider feedback. I'm also working on my own approach to test its viability, but will be sure to pull Arve into the discussion before any hard decisions are made.
thanks -john

Ah, that's a pity. Did you get anybody in that has some weight in an upstream discussion?

Thanks, I'd very much like to see them.

Well, it'd be nice to send them a heads-up that you're talking about a practical solution; that way they can tune in if they want. And even if they are currently smothered in ICS you can later say that you had given plenty of advance notice ;-)
