== Attendees ==

 * David Rusling
 * Fathi Boudra
 * Ilias Biris
 * Loïc Minier
 * Christian Reis
 * Michael Hope
 * Stephen Doel
 * Amit Kucheria
 * Zach Pfeffer

== Minutes ==

 * CARRIEDOVER: Kiko to send an email to techleads@ as to request that they announce it to key interested parties
 * CARRIEDOVER: Kiko to update the Openings page
 * CARRIEDOVER: Stephen to create a document to host the achievements and then pass it to techleads
 * DONE: Stephen to ask owner of ask.linaro.org to fix https:// support
 * CARRIEDOVER: Joey to organize a discussion on release management process

 * Release update
   * Candidate for 11.05 release
   * Issue with hwpack build -- not fixed in l-i-t 0.4.7
     * Boot failure is one issue in oem-ibs
     * Another build issue with Offspring

 * Monthly reports -- anything to highlight?
   * Linaro GCC release, as usual
   * GDB testsuite is now on par with x86!  about 50-60 testsuite failures initially, Ulrich just worked through this and killed the related gdb or kernel issues

 * Unity 3D / nux support seems to be at risk for friday but would land in the next month

 * Cycle changes - release management process
   * Making releases.linaro.org easier to use
   * TWG happy with launchpad.net hosting, but will need some nicer download page if they start doing a LTS release on top of the monthly release
   * Mostly web UI related changes
   * Joey will probably collect individual feedback from techleads on cycle changes

 * Linaro assignees from Canonical should have gotten email from Marianna

 * Techleads, please check that your team's hardware is documented properly on the new hardware spreadsheet

 * Linaro GCC - getting closer to R/M toolchain?
   * Working in the upstream FSF repo would be a nice move from a community perspective
   * Launchpad is a bit of a walled garden, even if technically superior; albeit code is publicly available and developed very openly
   * People would like to consume a stream of patches; these are available from upstream, but it doesn't really make sense to consume them directly as you need to pull updates to the patches, followup fixes, or pre-dependencies of these patches
   * Could push a mirror of Linaro GCC to SVN

 * Sprint
   * Need conference phones, but only in some rooms; video not really needed

 * Also Dublin Ubuntu/Canonical sprint coming up; do you need to send someone for coordination?
