Hi folks, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Following on from the founding of the cross-distro ARM mailing list, |
| 4 |
I'd like to propose an ARM summit at this year's Linux Plumbers |
| 5 |
conference [1]. I'm hoping for a slot on Thursday evening, but this |
| 6 |
remains to be confirmed at this point. |

We had some lively discussion about the state of ARM Linux distros at |
| 9 |
the Linaro Connect [2] event in Cambridge last week. It rapidly became |
| 10 |
clear that some of the topics we discussed deserve a wider audience, |
| 11 |
so we're suggesting a meetup at Plumbers for that bigger |
| 12 |
discussion. The initial proposed agenda is: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
* ARM hard-float |
| 15 |
+ What is it and why does it matter? |
| 16 |
+ How can distributions keep compatible (i.e. gcc triplet to |
| 17 |
describe the port)? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
* Adding support for ARM as an architecture to the Linux Standard |
| 20 |
Base (LSB) |
| 21 |
+ Does it matter? |
| 22 |
+ What's needed? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
* FHS - multi-arch coming soon, how do we proceed? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* 3D support on ARM platforms |
| 27 |
+ Open GL vs. GLES - which is appropriate? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
but I'm sure that other people will think of more issues they'd like |
| 30 |
to discuss. :-) |

If you wish to attend, please reply to the cross-distro list and let |
| 33 |
us know to expect you. Make sure you're registered to attend Plumbers |
| 34 |
Conf, and get your travel and accommodation organised ASAP. |
