ARM summit at Plumbers 2011
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.

ARM: new cross-distro@ list
Hi folks, Many GNU/Linux distributions are doing some ARM porting; this tends to result in work duplication, and there doesn't seem to be a general purpose forum to bring ARM porters together. We're inviting developers of GNU/Linux distributions with an interest in ARM to join a new cross-distro list, hosted at Linaro: http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-distro Any ARM Linux / Free Software discussion is welcome on the list, for instance porting software to build on ARM, toolchain problems, dealing with new ABIs, Thumb-2, NEON, kernel problems, announcement of new tools etc. Cheers, -- Steve McIntyresteve.mcint...@linaro.org http://www.linaro.org/ Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
Re: Does anyone care about LSB on arm?

Linaro is an obvious organisation that could expend some engineering effort on this, but to do that it needs some indication that it's more than a 'would-be-nice'. Wookey, the short answer is 'yes'. The next question is 'who?'. Absolutely, yes. It makes a lot of sense for the growing number of people looking to collaborate here to pool their efforts in an existing central spec/location. Maybe this can be bolted onto the hard float work, I'll let Konstantinos and Steve respond... Ah, I guess I've just volunteered myself haven't I? :-) /me goes to subscribe to the LSB lists and start reading things.
