- Communication and Meetings
- New IRC channel #linaro-mm-sig for meetings and general
communication between those working on and interested in these topics (already created).
- IRC meetings will be weekly with an option for the consituency to
decide on ultimate frequency (logs to be emailed to linaro-mm-sig list).
- Linaro can provide wiki services and any dial-in needed.
- Next face-to-face meetings:
. Linaro mid-cycle summit (August 1-5, see https://wiki.linaro.org/Events/2011-08-LDS) . Linux Plumbers Conference (September 7-9, see http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2011/ocw/proposals/567) . V4L2 brainstorm meeting (Hans Verkuil to update with details)
Since this is an area of key interest to many parties, a periodic meeting could provide a channel to all who are interested to participate and discuss. I can set it up and send Google calendar invitations.
One obvious issue with this idea would be: With participants in this list from 5-6 timezones having 1 meeting time would be challenging, but perhaps a time slot around UTC16:00 would suit most?
Means: IRC as Jesse mentioned above, we can also setup a call, via Canonical's conferencing system.
Frequency: Is there a specific need for discussing weekly? Assuming once-every-fortnight frequency, there could be around 2-3 meetings before the Linaro sprint in August 1-5. Of course if there is participation on the IRC channel, then communication can happen more often...
There are a couple more items I wanted to ask about:
1. I think we need a single wiki page with all the relevant pointers and consolidated info, at wiki.linaro.org. I can collect the information pointers available and setup the wiki page.
2. Tracking work progress: certainly this work has been planned via Launchpad blueprints added by Jesse. I do not know if everyone is on Launchpad - I'd like to ask for suggestions on how to track work progress especially from those who are not using Launchpad. Would progress updates via the wiki suffice? If you have other suggestions please let me know.
