 * James Westby
 * Joey Stanford
 * Andy Green
 * Paul Larson
 * Angus Ainslie
 * Vicky Janicki
 * Stephen Doel
 * Jesse Barker
 * Christian Reis
 * Ricardo Salveti

== Minutes ==

 * DONE: Kiko to update the Openings page
 * INPROGRESS: Stephen to create a document to host the achievements from last cycle and then pass it to techleads
 * DONE: Joey to organize a discussion on release management process
   * There will be followups, but doesn't need tracking in techleads call
   * A bit though to discuss during PPR week
   * Alexander and Fathi participated in the discussion
   * Move to monthly milestones
   * Do we want just monthly sourcecode releases, or move everything to only monthly releases and no 6-monthly releases anymore
 * DONE: Kiko to send an email to describe the use cases for more transparent hwpacks contents
   * See linaro-dev@ "What do we want our hwpack sources" thread

 * Sprint coming up - Stephen
   * Tell your assignees should be booking *now*; should ask for visas ASAP
   * On the wiki we should start a broad schedule with bullet points of what will be going on; put some context on the main things which will be discussed (pure hacking is fine too, just document how the week will look like)
   * See [[Internal/Events/2011-08-LDS/Planning#Schedule]]
   * Comments by Friday

 * Roger has three Elba to donate - Vicky
   * Where should they go to?
     * Roger proposes power management, toolchain, graphics WG
     * Should find out which daughterboard it is: the one for power management focused developments, or for high CPU use?
     * Jesse interested *iff* there are drivers available for it
   * David offers to carry and ship around
   * Other options: validation, platform enablement
   * Could also find out whether platform enablement is worth it: do we want u-boot support (might come with builtin UEFI support directly loading linux), linux support probably already going upstream
   * Need to find out state of PCI; how far is it?
   * ACTION: Vicky to gather more information on Elba (which daugtherboard -- for PM or for CPU use etc., PCI status, graphics drivers, interest in platform enablement)

 * Public plan reviews
   * Beep got turned off last week
   * Good feedback so far
   * Operationally seems to go ok
   * Format could be updated for next series; audience participation isn't as welcome as it could be; there are some questions, but perhaps a one hour Q&A would be better

 * status.linaro.org
   * James helping tech leads get blueprints to appear there when there is an issue
   * Could imagine a service to tell people what's wrong with their blueprints

 * LinuxCon Japan - David
   * Spent quite a bit of time with Linus
   * Pretty happy with ARM tree effort
   * A bit of tension/stress over the whole story, which wasn't intended/needed
   * Questions on Linaro?
     * Seems to be doing good stuff, but didn't have too much of a look

== Actions from this meeting ==

 * INPROGRESS: Stephen to create a document to host the achievements from last cycle and then pass it to techleads
 * ACTION: Vicky to gather more information on Elba (which daugtherboard -- for PM or for CPU use etc., PCI status, graphics drivers, interest in platform enablement)
