Hi folks,
Following on from the founding of the cross-distro ARM mailing list,
I'd like to propose an ARM summit at this year's Linux Plumbers
conference [1]. I'm hoping for a slot on Thursday evening, but this
remains to be confirmed at this point.
We had some lively discussion about the state of ARM Linux distros at
the Linaro Connect [2] event in Cambridge last week. It rapidly became
clear that some of the topics we discussed deserve a wider audience,
so we're suggesting a meetup at Plumbers for that bigger
discussion. The initial proposed agenda is:
* ARM hard-float
+ What is it and why does it matter?
+ How can distributions keep compatible (i.e. gcc triplet to
describe the port)?
* Adding support for ARM as an architecture to the Linux Standard
Base (LSB)
+ Does it matter?
+ What's needed?
* FHS - multi-arch coming soon, how do we proceed?
* 3D support on ARM platforms
+ Open GL vs. GLES - which is appropriate?
but I'm sure that other people will think of more issues they'd like
to discuss. :-)
If you wish to attend, please reply to the cross-distro list and let
us know to expect you. Make sure you're registered to attend Plumbers
Conf, and get your travel and accommodation organised ASAP.

UPDATE: we've not had many people confirm interest in this event yet,
which is a shame. If you would like to join us for this session,
please reply and let me know. If we don't get enough interest by the
end of Sunday (28th August), then we'll have to cancel the meeting.
Cheers,

I live in Napa, just 45 minutes away, and work at Redwood Shores, a bit
further.
But, it is the lack of expertise/knowledge in this highly focused area and
the $400 fee that keeps me from considering attendance.
I've been a big on running Gentoo on the SheevaPlug and (after a very
arduous effort) OpenRD. It's when they have power failures and memory on
the USBs fail that I become discouraged.

I'll be there as well to represent Gentoo and give a talk, but I'm not
from the SF area.

ive always been saddened by all these open source conf's that charge (high or
any) fees. we need more (any?) free ones to make it easy for anyone to come
and contribute :(.

I would definitely like to go but just started the lengthy process of
relocating for work. Next year, gladly.

And that seemed to provoke enought interest from people all over,
which is good. This event is definitely going on. Let's look forwards
to some good discussion. :-)
