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.
