   Cheers,

== Attendees ==

 * Amit Kucheria
 * Loïc Minier
 * Michael Hope
 * Christian Reis
 * Jamie Bennett
 * Alexander Sack
 * Scott Bambrough
 * Stephen Doel

== Minutes ==

 * Action for TL's: Kiko needs a description of the items that are postponed.
   * ACTION: Kiko to email techleads@ to request this
 * Action for TL's: If you know that you can't do some items, then go ahead and postpone items
   * ACTION: Kiko to also mention this in email
 * Action for Steve L: Pull together a wiki page for knowledge transfer to Ricardo
   * CARRIEDOVER
 * Action for Paul L: Pull together a wiki page for UDS sessions for Validations
   * CARRIEDOVER
  * Action for TL's: Kiko asked all the TL's to visualize UDS for your teams and guests. Does everyone know how to get there? Do they know the sessions? etc.
    * DONE: word was passed to all techleads
 * Carry Over: David and Loïc to have a chat about options for QEMU A9 emulation forward to the TSC agenda
   * DONE: A9 model was deprioritized, Michael confirmed that nobody from TSC cared strongly about it and David approved deprioritizing it
     * There is actually a lot of QEMU items planned for next cycle already
     * ACTION: Kiko to write to David to confirm one more time  ;-)
 * Carry Over: Kiko and Michael to discuss list of TWG sessions
   * DONE

 * Review TSC actions
   * Michael said his action is done (he clarified mentions of QEMU to expect NEON, SMP and A9)
   * Loïc to write to Grant to pickup the UEFI prototype action
   * Amit has done a couple of actions (now marked as such); will finish last one this week
   * Loïc to confirm Grant's PM spec over email
   * Kiko + Kurt to chat today and go over the actions
   * Removed a dup action from Alexander

 * Michael wonders when do we create the TR blueprints?
   * Alexander already filed them, and targeted them at o-series
   * Michael will create the linaro-toolchain-* and linaro-tr-* blueprints

 * Michael has validation blueprints such as building Yocto; should he schedule or should Paul schedule?
   * Should sync up with Paul on list of high level projects
   * ACTION: Michael to schedule a session around Yocto and perhaps Android cross-builds to validate the toolchain
   * Where are we with respect to rebuilding Ubuntu?
     * Alexander reports that we're still not "high" priority for rebuilding Ubuntu, might land middle of next cycle; there's also ALIP cross-rebuilds

 * Binary toolchains - TSC requested them, but not very specific on which ones, probably includes a Windows build as well
   * Michael will host a session on it
   * Alexander already planned a session on cross-compilers for Ubuntu, lead by Marcin; thinks we could discuss it there
   * Some debate on whether OSX hosted toolchains are important or not
   * ACTION: Michael to list cross-toolchain outputs to Marcin and try to fit them in the existing cross-compilers sessions

 * Half-days for sprinting and half-days for sessions?
   * Alexander would like to know the planning of this; he would like to send platform folks to WG sessions etc.
   * Will be manually scheduled; would be best to get this fixed for next UDS

 * Kiko sent out contents for executive engineering summary
   * Will be circulated to everyone
   * Please check that it's not missing anything
   * Might be worth mentioning the Android images support; Alexander says graphics support might not be complete
   * Also worth mention might be the patches sent to Android upstream now that the agreement to contribute is in place

 * Stephen is arranging t-shirt for track leads

== Actions from this meeting ==

 * ACTION: Kiko to email techleads@ to request a description of things postponed to next cycle and to remind techleads to mark workitems as postponed now rather than later
 * CARRIEDOVER: Steve L to pull together a wiki page for knowledge transfer to Ricardo
 * CARRIEDOVER: Paul L to pull together a wiki page for UDS sessions for Validations
 * ACTION: Kiko to write to David to confirm one more time that we are not doing any QEMU A9 model work  ;-)
 * ACTION: Michael to schedule a session around Yocto and perhaps Android cross-builds to validate the toolchain
 * ACTION: Michael to list cross-toolchain outputs to Marcin and try to fit them in the existing cross-compilers sessions
