Agenda

The agenda is being discussed on the summit mailing list.

Here is the draft that Tim proposed for different topics for the meeting:

 1. mainline gap
   1.1 version gap is most prevalent form
   1.2 how to reduce it?
     1.2.1 can stable release maintenance help with this?
     1.2.2 patch mining - pros and cons
     1.2.3 proxy contributors - pros and cons
     1.2.4 development methods: git vs. git+quilt vs. big honking vendor tarballs!
 2. architecture-specific issues (ARM, MIPS, x86)
   2.1 SOC vendor tree isolation
   2.2 defconfigs
   2.3 recent industry initiatives (e.g. Linaro)
 3. SMP in embedded
 4. Android current status

 6. WebOS current status (same sub-points as above)
 7. The state of flash file systems
 8. embedded power management
   8.1 suspend blockers?

 9. industry contribution rate - how to increase it
   9.1 impedances to industry participation in open source
     9.1.1 systematically identifying impedances

   10.1 industry pain points - what do developers spend their time doing?
   10.2 community pain points - what to developers spend their time doing?
