Hi all,
This is a slightly belated email with information about the overall plans for next weeks face to face summit. As has been mentioned a few times, the main focus for our time there is going to be hands on hacking and we'll be splitting our focus between two main topics related to kernel consolidation and cleanup:
Device Tree: Shawn, Manjunath, Thomas, and Niklas will continue to work on device tree bring up on their platforms. Related to this, Grant will be doing some training on Tuesday morning (Grant, correct me if I'm wrong) for anyone who's interested in learning more about how to use DT.
Single zImage: The rest of the KWG will be focused on the task of cleaning up the ARM kernel sources to allow for building a zImage that can be booted across heterogeneous SOCs. Nicolas will be sending off an email to linaro-kernel and linaro-dev with a list of all the items that need to be worked on so please read that and ask any questions you have. Our plan is to have folks take on a topic and work on it, sending patches to Nicolas and myself for real-time review. We likely will not have a kernel booting across multiple machines but we should be much closer to getting this working.
Monday morning at 11:00 we'll have a full team meeting and we'll go over some of this in more detail. The kernel team has been assigned room Trinity for the week and we will have unlimited coffee and tea at our disposal to keep us going. :)
Arnd is presenting an advanced git training session on Tuesday from 11:00-13:00 and there should be a lot of good tricks to learn!
We've also got a team dinner in Cambridge on Wed night, location TBD.
Beyond all that, I will be scheduling 1:1s with everyone on the team. As per Linaro process, we're at the end of the review cycle for most folks, so I'll go over your review with you, get an update on where things are at with current tasks, etc. I'll also setup some small team meets (storage, DT, etc) to discuss next steps.
All together, this will be a busy week but should also be a lot of fun to get a chance to all work in the same room and solve some problems as a team.
Please fill out the following so we all know when to expect each other and can coordinate travel:

Thanks! ~Deepak
ps: Please bring all cables and power adapters you need for using your boards. Linaro has certain items but not enough to go around for everyone.

So Arnd's git training is at 11 on Tuesday. Should we plan on 9:30AM for this in the same room? I'd like to announce this to the landing teams and others who are interested too.

Sure, whatever fits.
